Although this song is really hardcore and really cool, it was hell to
tab. The problem is that I really wanted to get a note-for-note
transcription and Dino has a basic pattern for the intro riff which gets
modified as he goes on. He adds little tremolos here and there, which
only makes my job harder.
Unfortunately, this song may not be as easy for you as it sounds on the
recording. There are tons of riffs here, all of which must be played
with clinical precision and a honed sense of rhythm. The melodic idea
in this song is fairly simple, however. It relies heavily upon the
half-step interval between C# (on the lowest string, which has been
tuned down to B) and D. That's a piece of good news for your fretting
hand; it won't have to jump around the fretboard very much. Your
picking hand, however, is going to get a heavy workout. Anchoring your
hand against the bridge (you'll have to palm-mute a lot throughout the
song anyway, so this is a good place to hold it) will stop your arm from
waving too much at the elbow, and thus minimizing the amount of distance
your pick has to travel. In other words, don't just wave your arm
around.
Tune all strings down a perfect fourth (B, E, A, D, F#, B)
LEGEND:
* -- palm-mute
H -- hit-on
P -- pull-off
~~~~ -- vibrato
A.H. -- Artificial Harmonic
N.H. -- Natural Harmonic
Upbeat, fairly fast speed
Intro: about 6 seconds of creepy sounding intro synth stuff, and then
the drums kick in, followed by extra synth stuff, and then the guitar
comes in with this...

Riff E
Although this riff is a little difficult to hear, I don't think that the
palm muting here is as heavy as on the four previous riffs...
