SLAYER BITTER PEACE From their '98 album 'Diabolus in Musica' Tabbed by: Steven Rodriguez sic_7246@hotmail.com This song has one of the most unusual structures for a Slayer song. If you try to play along with the CD, I guarantee that bar of 9/8 will ruin your timing. Very odd transition. Comments: I will only show the bottom three strings throughout this tab. Notation explanation: /=3=\ |---------| |--0-0-0--| Triplets. Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2. |---------| |9:-| |2:-| |8:-| |4:-| Time signature changes. All bars are 4/4 otherwise. |---| |---| |---3-/5--| Pick the 3rd fret, slide to the 5th and pick it as well. |---------| |---3//5--| Pick the 3rd fret and slide to the 5th. Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat. Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use 8 dashes one beat. Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth string to Db. Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tempo: 80 bpm Riff A1 Db |--LeftGtr-----------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1-2-5-5-4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1-2-5-5-4---| P.M |. . . . . . | | | Db |--RightGtr----------------------| Ab |----------------------2-5-5-4---| Db |----------------------2-5-5-4---| Play Riff A1 4x Then play: Db |--LeftGtr-----------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1---5-5-4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1-025-5-4---| P.M |. . . . . . | | | Db |--RightGtr----------------------| Ab |------------------------5-5-4---| Db |----------------------025-5-4---| Riff A2 Db |--------------------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1h2-5-5-4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1h2-5-5-4---| Both Gtrs Play Riff A2 4x Then play: /=== repeat 3x =================\ Db||*--------------------------------*||--------------------------------| Ab||*-3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1--*||3---6---5--\1---------3\2-------| Db||--3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1---||3---6---5--\1---3-5-6-----5-4-1-| Riff A3 Db |--------------------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1///5---4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1///5---4---| Play Riff A3 3x Then play: Db |---------------------------------|--------------------3-----------| Ab |-3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1---|3---6---5--\1---2-3---2-1-------| Db |-3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1---|3---6---5--\1-------------5-4-1-| Play Riff A2 4x, followed by Db|0---------------| After this there is 8 bars of bass and drums Ab|0-----let-ring--| The drums sort of just peter out, after that Db|0---------------| there is about 3 beats silence and..
