The Blister Exists (ver4) Tab - Slipknot






The Blister Exists - Slipknot
Tabbed by: Harv052

What makes this tab a little different is the Mick Thompson solo during the chorus.
You'll notice that i don't use any sliding and i don't think Mick does either...It
might sound weird at first, but once you play all the notes properly, you'll find
that it sounds a lot better than any sliding tab you've seen (play them slow at first
to get the hang of it)! The complete tab might not be accurate, but if you know the
song, you won't get too lost. For the rest, use your imagination or improvise!!!
