From the Album Deathcrush, originally printed in 1000 copies in 1987,
and re-released in 1993 on CD.
Tuning: C(D could do)

The whole riff is played fast in the same tempo, but the end has ��� between the
power-grips to show that you play at fret nr 8,10 and 12�
It may also sound better and more groovy if you play only 3 strokes on each
notes and only stroke down, not up and down. Do what you like best.
Riff C

Fast.
I often let out the (7). This is different on some of the releases
and live shows.
Riff D

There should be no problem to find out where riff E and F is played along with the bass.

The ending that is inside()is played on some live recordings. I�ve seen it on
DVD, and heard it on CD. Do what you think sounds best.
Again, you can take three down strokes, instead of stroking up and down.
