SONG: Ruptured in Purulence
TRANSCRIBED BY: Thomas Abraham
NOTE: THERE WERE PARTS IN THIS SONG THAT I HAD TROUBLE DECIPHERING
BY EAR SO I HAD TO WATCH THE "WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CARCASS" VIDEO

REMEMBER, TUNE DOWN 2.5 STEPS TO B. ENJOY!

PLAY SOLO OVER THE LAST TWO REPEATS OF RIFF K
NOTE: THIS IS NOT THE ENTIRE SOLO, JUST THE BEGINNING DONE ROUGHLY.
IT IS TOO HARD FOR ME TO FIGURE OUT BECAUSE FIRSTLY, I'M A BASSIST,
AND SECONDLY, MY VCR DOES NOT HAVE A SLOW MOTION OPTION SO I CAN SEE
WHAT BILL STEER'S FINGERS DO ON THE "WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CARCASS"
VIDEO. E-MAIL ME IF YOU CAN FIGURE OUT THIS SOLO: GRINDFANATIC@
