Antichrist Superstar
Marilyn Manson
Text File
This song is basically one main riff played over and the order being jiggled around abit
and another smaller riff, but they are both quite easy and I managed to play along with
the song suprsingly quickly
Because of the Low tuning you may have to restring to a thicker/heavier string
Drop B tuning
