beware of darkness
by balzac
tabbed by mike cortez
this the song that made this band a freakin' legend in my book...
i try to make this as easy as i can...this is how i play this song..listen well..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A strum chord once
A~ rest
A_ strum chord with up and down strokes, listen to the song to get the rhythm
A* play chord one octave higher e.g: (0-2-2-x) --> (x-7-5-5)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bar = tremolo Bar action
15b17 = bend 2 steps
15b = bend
(15b) = hit after prebend or previous bend and hold
15b17===17==17 = holdbend and hit
13h14p13 = hammer on/pull off
~~ = hold note
15t= tremolo picking
15v = vibrato
intro:(fast)......then this the part where the bassist is screaming his head off..
