Desire By: Slayer Tabbed by: David Schellhaas I am only writing the bottom 5 strings since the 1st string isn't used at all in the rythm guitars in the song. Actually, my 1st string was broken when I figured this song out! Also I don't think I marked "Gtr.1" and "Gtr.2" consistently. So, basically, I may say "Gtr.1 play this", then later on I have it play a riff that the other guitar plays on the album. I just wanted to say that so nobody would get confused for some reason. Tuning: Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb (Tune half step down, then bring 6th string down 1 step) Introduction Riffs: Gtr. 1 play this x4 Bb|-----8-------------8------------ Gb|--------7-------------7--------- Db|--0--------5---0---------------- Ab|-------------------------------- Db|-------------------------------- Now Gtr. 2 plays this x4 Bb|-------------------------------6---------9----- Gb|--------7----------6--------3----3----6----6--- Db|-----5----5-----4----4--0----------0----------- Ab|--5----------5--------------------------------- Eb|----------------------------------------------- Let Ring throughout------->>> Now both guitars get distortion and play this once Bb|----------------------------- Gb|--------7-----------8-------- Db|-----5----5-----6------------ Ab|--5----------5--------------- Eb|----------------------------- Now guitars 1 & 2 play the MAIN RIFF x4 Bb|------------------------------------------ Gb|-------7--------6--------10---------13---- Db|--0-5----5--0-4---4--0-8----8--0-11---11-- Ab|------------------------------------------ Eb|------------------------------------------ Now Gtr.2 plays this riff. Since it's played a lot, I'm gonna call it RIFF 666 so I can refer to it later on. Bb|--------------------------------------- Gb|--------------------------------------- Db|--1-------1--------1-------------6----- Ab|--1-------1--------1-------------6----- Eb|--1--0-0--1--0-000-1--0-0-0-000--6----- pm---- ----- --------- Gtr.1 comes in while gtr.2 is playing that. It plays this: Bb|------------------------------- Gb|------------------------------- Db|--6--0--------(0)---------6--- Ab|--6--0--------(0)---------6--- Eb|--6--0--------(0)---------6--- That leads into the VERSE Guitar 1 Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-----0--------------------0------------------------0---------------------0-------------------| Ab|--------1---0---3-6-5--------1--0--1-----5/8-7--------1---0---3-6-5*--------1--0--1----5/8-7-| Eb|--00-------------------00----------------5/8-7--00--------------------00---------------5/8-7-| |pm-- -- -- -- | |Guitar 2 | Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Db|-----0--------------------0------------------------0---------------------0-------------------| Ab|--------1---0---3-6-5--------1--0--1-----5/8-7--------1---0---3-6-5*--------1--0--1----5/8-7-| Eb|--00-------------------00----------------5/8-7--00--------------------00---------------5/8-7-| pm-- -- -- -- * = In the second verse, play an Artificial Harmonic here They both play that once, then while Gtr.1 plays it again, Gtr.2 decides to play some other stuff. Here's what it plays: Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Gb|----------------------------------------------------------5-8-7~--------------------------| Db|-----0----------3-5-6~----0----------------------0--------------------0-------------------| Ab|--------1---0----------------1--0--1---5/8-7-------1---0-----------------1--0--1---5/8-7--| Eb|--00-------------------00--------------5/8-7--00-------------------00--------------5/8-7--| pm--- -- -- -- Right before the chorus, one of the guitars plays this: "RIFF B.L.A.H." Bb|---------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------| Db|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| Ab|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| Eb|---------------------------------------| Now for the CHORUS, play the MAIN RIFF (it's written up above) Okay, now come the leads. I'm not putting them up now cause I haven'd figured them out yet. If I decide to figure them out, then I will add them on to this tab. But for now on, you'll have to settle with the rhythm riffs for them: Rhythm during the 1st lead: Bb|---------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------| Ab|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| Eb|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| pm---------------------------------- For the second lead, play RIFF 666. If you've already fortotten what it was, it is writen at the top of the tab for your viewing pleasure. Continue playing this riff (RIFF 666 in case you forgot within the past 2 seconds) throughout the entire 3rd verse. Then before the 3rd CHORUS Guitar Whichever plays RIFF B.L.A.H. twice, and during the 2nd time, the other guitar plays these chords: Bb|-------------------| Gb|---7---6---3---6---| Db|---5---4---1---4---| Ab|-------------------| Eb|-------------------| Okay, to end the song the guitars play Bb|------------------------------ Gb|--------7-----------8-------- Db|-----5----5-----6------------ Ab|--5----------5--------------- Eb|------------------------------ Key: / -slide from indicated fret to indicated fret \-opposite of / pm - palm mute. I use "-" things to notate the palm mutes. ~ - Vibrato the string "Let Ring" - this means hold the notes as long as you can! If you let go, you will DIE!!!! Uhhh.......oh yeah. One more: (0) - this means hold the note
