Performance Notes:
Easyish song for Gorguts. The second riff will prove hardest. Start with the
diminished 7th (?) chord and pull off the first fret and slide up a string. Its
a very smooth legato action. The rest is straightforward, or obvious, the
hammered on pinch harmonic sounds unintentional but later in the song proves to
be intentional, its just a matter of timing your hammer on precisely with your
pinching.
