Song

GRAVE - WORTH THE WAIT

(1996 - HATING LIFE)

Version 1.0 - May 2001

This song is performed on a 6-string guitar tuned down to B

(B, E, A, D, G, B) - the guitar sound is very harsh, with

absolutely no mids. There are 2 guitars which sometimes

needed to be transcribed separately.

This time I didn't give you the exact timing but it's easy

to figure out when you listen to the record.

I didn't tab the solo. I think you can just improvise in

G minor (pentatonic).

If you have any corrections or anything to say feel free to
