Death : Symbolic ---------------- from the album 'Symbolic' (1995) Tabbed by Antti Leiviska amok@linux.muhos.fi Hey all Death-fans! ******************* Here's the tab for the opening song from the latest Death album Symbolic. The solo isn't tabbed because I can't play it :( If someone has the solo, please e-mail it to me, I would appreciate it. I included timing and I think it is pretty correct. The palm-muted section in Rhy.Fig.2 is a real killer for your picking hand, so' practice it first slowly with a metronome gradually increasing tempo. This helps your learning a lot. And play the ending of Rhy.Fig.4 and Rhy.Fig.6 with downstrokes. Send feedback, corrections and additions to amok@linux.muhos.fi. Have fun! Chuck Schuldiner - guitar and vocals Kelly Conlon - bass Gene Hoglan - drums Bobby Koelble - guitar Legend: ------- p.m. = palm muting 7~~ = vibrato p.h. = pinch harmonic n.h. = natural harmonic 7p5 = pull-off 5p7 = hammer-on / = slide up \ = slide down X = percussive noise from a left-hand muted string ^ = short notes (staccato) Tune down 1 whole step (low to high: D G C F A D) The song starts in 4/4.
