BLOODBATH - THE SOULCOLLECTOR
transcribed by Jon (YourDeadGroom)

version 1.0
Notes: This is notated in E to make reading it less confusing, but each string should be tuned down to: (lowest to highest) B, E, A, D, F#, B.
Notes with a '*' next to it indicate that it should be speed picked.
'h' = hammer on, 'p' = pull off.
'tr' = trill. Rapid series of pull-offs & hammer-ons between the notes indicated, starting with the one in '()'.
'^' = string bend. Bend the note before the '^' up to the pitch of the note in '()' after it.
'<ph>' = pinch harmonic, fret the note at the indicated position, and create the harmonic with the pick hand.
'<nh>' = natural harmonic, place a finger lightly on the string over the indicated fret, and pick normally.
'/' = slide up.
Spacing and barlines are a rough approximation of rhythm only.
Riffs are only indicated the first time they are played, it's up to you to figure out where they may get repeated.
The use of '||' indicates the end of a riff/section.

I didn't do the solo at 0:56, I started to, but it's just some chromatic nonsense, that would've taken forever to transcribe, and would've been pretty hard for anyone to replicate (those kind of solos aren't really worth trying to get 100% correct anyway, I'd be surprised if Anders knew exactly what he played). Basically, if you're good enough to be able to play that solo, you're good enough to be able to figure it out yourself

You are my fucking hero!
My fav Bloodbath song!

BTW, two days ago I had some time and learned four Bloodbath songs in two hours. Fun, fun...
