Standard Tuning

The intro to "Gutter Ballet" is a free time piano with the other instruments comming in

occassionally for emphasis.  Listening to the song is instrumental for performing this one.

This song is pretty powerful.  Hope this tab helps you out; this is how I play this classic

metal song.
