SLAYER S C R U M From their '98 album 'Diabolus in Musica' Tabbed by: Jason Mathie Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca Whoever thought Slayer would write a song about a sport? Comments: I will only show the necessary strings throughout this tab. Notation explanation: |-/=3=\-| Triplets - play three notes in the space of two. |-3-3-3-| |-------| |3:-----| Time signature change - Always 4/4 otherwise |4:-----| |-------| Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length, so ---- is one beat. Sometimes -------- is one beat. If there's double digit frets, or triplets, it may be stretched out even more. Guitars are tuned to Eb. Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RGtr. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tempo: 165 bpm Riff A /=3=\ /=3=\ /=3=\ /=3=\ Ab|------------------------| Eb|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-| P.M. . . . . . . . . . . .
