Some people use the third finger while holding Power Chords,but in my

opinion using also the small one makes finger evolutions easier.

p - pull off

h - hammer on

\ - slide down

^ - interrupted note

I'm not sure if A2 sounds ideal,so instead one you may play A1 twice,but let

cease notes at the end of Riff A1 the second time (like in Riff A2).

Riff F1,Riff F2 and Riff F3 have the same lenght.

Here's the omposition's structure:

Riff A1*2

Riff A2

Riff B

Riff C1*5 (The last time instead of beginning of Riff C1 play Filling C)

Riff C2+C1+C2

Riff D*4

Riff F1*4

Riff E*4

Riff A1(modified)*4

Riff (C1+C2)*3 (The first time instead of beginning of Riff C1 play Filling C)

Riff D*4

Riff F2+F3

Riff A1(modified)*6 (This part doesn't occur in original recording.There is

only one guitarist in Behemoth,and at the end he is playing solo with

moaning tones using vibrato,however the bass guitar plays like in Riff A1

and Riff A2.When you are playing this song without bass accompany,it's

better to play Riff A1 instead of solo.)

Listen to the original recording in order to catch the relevant timing.It is

avaivable on the latest LP of Behemoth-"PANDEMONIC INCANTATIONS"from

Solistitium Rec.(Germany).I hope that playing this composition will be

a pleasure for you-at last Adas Darski (guit/voc in Behemoth) managed to

compose something really good.S T A Y B R U T A L ! ! ! Piotr.
