Whiplash "Power Thrashing Death" from POWER AND PAIN (1985)

Tabbed 11/19/02 by Nick S. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an 
E-mail w/ the subj. "Power Thrashing Death tabs" or "Whiplash tabs" but I 
must warn you I might not be able to answer your question(s) 'cause I bought 
this CD used on EBay & it skips on some songs so I have to send it back. I 
decided I'd learn a few of the songs that don't skip by ear before sending it 
back 'cause I haven't seen any other Whiplash tabs anywhere on the Internet. 
I hope this tab is helpful to you, I think it will be. I'm not saying what 
stuff is palm-muted 'cause you can tell by listening to the song. Turn the 
distortion all the way up and start thrashin'!!

About the hammer-on/pull-off part: If you can't play that fast, take it 
slowly first and then start speeding up. I still can't play it as fast as TP 
does. And just so you know, you'll probably see any wild lightning-fast 
hammer-on/pull-off crap like that from me again. I was lucky this time.

then let it ring, then strum C5 chord a lot, let it ring, then slide the C5.
