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

Song

Pulse of the Maggots

Solo

Tabbed by: George Frost

Email: george@ezaypage.fslife.co.uk

Tuning: Drop B (B F# B E G# C#)

Tempo: 192

This is a stupidly hard shred solo, so take it bar by bar, mastering each in

turn. Use sweep picking and hard alternate picking. Be careful of the three

stage bends and the string skipping when sweeping.
