Serial Killer

Slash's Snakepit
TabTuningHalf-Step Down
★4.2(7)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Like all of the Snakepit music, tune down 1/2 a step.

Rhythm Lead

-----------------/-------------------------------------------------------------|

---x--x--5-------/------5------5-----------------------------------------------|

I can't be bothered to write out how many times you should play the above bit

just listen to the CD for that + timing, anyway...

Lead/Rhythm parts how the rhythm ends

-------------------------------------------------------------/-----------------|
--------------------------------------3---------------5b-----/-----------------|
----------------------------------------1----------------6---/-----------------|
-----6-7---6-7--10-9-8-7/5/7-7-6-5-3--------2----------------/--------3--------|
---5------5-----8--7-6-5/3/5-5-4-3-1-----------4---5---------/------4----------|
-------------------------------------------------5-----------/----5------------|

Again for the rhythm part i'll just write the chord shapes and not the timing etc..

Rhythm then to the above part again
