SLAYER
P O I N T
From their '98 album 'Diabolis in Musica'
Tabbed by: Jason Mathie
Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca
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.
