IRC: undernet's #metal as "Stromblad"
h = hammer-on " = tremolo pick ~ = vibrato
p = pull-off X= pickstroke () = a note that you struck before
/ = slide . = palm mute and still ringing
* = see below x = mute the note after you strike it
Tune down 1 whole step to D, that is DGCFAd.
Timing is not noted, just vaguely represented for easier reading, but you'll
get it right with no problems. Oh, and use heavy palm muting, this is a crushing
song, don't "punk" it.
Here we go:
