by Karma To Burn
from "Wild Wonderful... Purgatory"
Tab legend:
Drop D
p=pull off
h=hammer on
/=slide up
\=slide down
This is without a doubt one of the fattest songs ever. Karma really knows how to rock. Anyway, this song is rather simple, most anyone could probably figure it out, but it never hurts to tab it out anyway. The part before the chorus is kinda crammed in there, because I tabbed out every note, but if you listen to it while looking at it you'll get the gist of it. - Ian Nault

22-222-222-2233322-222-222-2255522-222-222-2288822		 This is played clean, to me the best way to play this is with a distortion pedal on bypass, but REALLY LOUD. You should get the same kinda sound as on the album. After this is a pause, then the rest of the band comes in. That's where you hit pedal.
Pause:
Listen to the song, figure out how long the pause is. I don't know long to describe it, and the ear knows best anyway.

Fill:
 This isn't as muddy as it looks. It's just the bridge except instead of returning to the second fret after it, it continues to play 16 notes at the 8th fret and 16 more at the 10th fret (I used the colon, : , as the tenth fret to keep the timing on), followed by the muting before the chorus. Listen to the song, you'll understand what I mean.

Chorus:

 <---For these parts, the single notes seem to be through a flanger or a similar effect, but I'm pretty sure that it's either the bass or a separate guitar. Just play them the same as the rest of the song
