Song

"Grinder" as recorded by Six Feet Under

Original version by Judas Priest

tabbed by Aaron Richards

I can never decide if Allen West use drop D tuning or tune all

strings down 1 step. For this song at least, I believe it's

just regular D tuning, not drop. i did the solo as well.

play that 4x riff A ( x2)

the last chorus is a little different from the others.

play riff B 3 times "Grinder, bitch!..."

then the 4th time goes

" Grinder, motherfucker!" "Grin-der!"

hope that wasn't hard to understand. The riff structure was kind

of fucked up, or "fickt auf" as we say in Germany. there were

little variations on each riff that I had to keep putting in.

h- hammer on

p- pull off

.-palm mute

a.h.- artificial harmonic

b- bend note up 1 full step

r- release bend

tr- trill

>- depress whammy bar slightly

~- vibrato

/- slide
