                                 SLAYER
                               P O I N T
                From their '98 album 'Diabolis in Musica'

Tabbed by:  Jason Mathie

A great song with a great structure.

Comments:

I will only show the bottom four strings throughout this tab.

Instead of simply showing palm muting, I will show heavy palm muting and
light palm muting, using H.M and L.M rather than P.M.

Notation explanation:
     /=3=\
  |---------|
  |--0-0-0--|  Triplets.  Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2.
  |---------|

  |5:-| |2:-|
  |8:-| |4:-|  Time signature changes.  All bars are 4/4 otherwise.
  |---| |---|

  |---3-/5--|  Pick the 3rd fret, slide to the 5th and pick it as well.
  |---------|
  |---3//5--|  Pick the 3rd fret and slide to the 5th.

  |---------|
  |---5"----|  Tremolo pick - double pick very quickly
  |---------|

Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length.  So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more.  When that happens I'll use
8 dashes one beat.

Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth
string to Db.  Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.
