I hope you don't have trouble reading this. On a couple of the
bars, I will write TWO GUITARS' worth of tab. In the intro and
main riff of this song, Slayer uses two guitars playing different
notes to attain a "dissonant" effect that is pure genius. But I
want to show it to you on the same staff so that it will be easier
to see where the two guitars play the same thing and where they
differ. In respects, it will actually be easier. Tuning for this one
is half step down, drop D. The WHOLE song is played on the
top two strings. I won't bother tabbing the solo, since it isn't even
a solo! It's just Kerry King making noise!

Post solo "Drink the flesh of life itself..."
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 SLAYER 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.
