BLOODBATH - WAYS TO THE GRAVE
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.
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.

Ok, this is all checked and as close as I can possibly get it to being 100% correct. Any mistakes are transcription error by me, not mis-typing. I'll be very impressed if anyone can find anything wrong with it though I spent over an hour doing this in detail, some of it goes by really quick (as a comparison, the other songs took about 15 minutes). It's possible I made some mistakes though
The fret positioning of some of it may not be in the best place- I haven't really practised it up to make sure it's all easy to play, so if you find some of it difficult to play, it may be worth taking a moment to work out other places to play some of the notes.

Razed, let me know when I can expect delivery of your first child

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

man, you're a fucking machine!

Thanks again... I guess there will be nothing left for me to tab out when I'll finally have enough time.

 

[SFall]

Oh my! Keep up the good work man, you're insane.

Are you gonna upload them to Mxtabs? I can do it for you of course....

 

[yourdeadgroom]

SFall @ I'm not familiar with Mxtabs (or any tab sites for that matter, anything I want to play I figure out for myself, it helps me learn the song ). Upload it wherever you like (I'm not the least bit concerned about where these end up, or if I even get credit for them or anything, so do what you need to with them If you need to include an email address on them to be able to submit, you can PM me for one, or for simplicity you can just put your own name on them and pretend they're yours(like I said, I don't care what happens to them)).
Also, did you see the changes I suggested for your transcription of 'Mass Strangulation'? Agree/disagree with any of them?

 

[Razed]

YES

you win at life, sir.

Thanks much.

 

[SFall]

K I uploaded those 3 tabs as is, didn't change a thing.

Should be on Mxtabs in a couple of days....

And yeah thanks for the help. That's the first song I've tabbed, so my ear isn't trained at all.

[Edit = ops! didn't see bathe in blood.....you're a monster dude!]

[Edit2 = Ohh...and I doubt I'll do The Soulcollector. Tabbing takes me so long and I'm gonna be away all weekend. Since you're so damned fast, you can probably do it in 5-10 min. ]

 

[Innbydelse]

they tune to B eh?


that is good

cause i do too


well with an added high E string

Pretty decent effort for a first time

[Edit2 = Ohh...and I doubt I'll do The Soulcollector. Tabbing takes me so long and I'm gonna be away all weekend. Since you're so damned fast, you can probably do it in 5-10 min. ]

OK, I'll add that to my 'to do' list
