Subject: TAB: Chopped in Half (Band : Obituary)
** Chopped in Half
** by Obituary
** from the album CAUSE OF DEATH
** Tabbed by Kevin Phillips, kphill@iconz.co.nz/kevinp@netway.co.nz
Back again with yet another track from this brutal album (Still my fav.
Obituary album! ;) ). Apologies for any mistakes in this Tab - Its pretty
close though! I'm a little unsure about the closing riff... It sounds OK,
but its so short I had to guess I got it right! ;)
Don't forget to tune down your guitar about a whole brutal step or two! Oh,
and listen to the song to get the timing right! :) (Track 3!)
Enjoy!
Kev.
Note: A lot of the fast riffing in Obituaries songs seem to have almost no
Palm muting at all... Listen carefully and you should notice it...
Also note during the first few riffs, there is an array of small variations...
(Again, you should listen to the song a few times before trying to play it)

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official OBITUARY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
