                  "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
