Band: Vader Album: Litany Song: Litany Copyright (c) Metal Blade Records Transcribed By: Andrew Cray Email: pain_infliction@hotmail.com . - palm mute / - slide up to \ - slide down to ~ - vibrato h - hammer on b - Bend p - pull off Suffixes for bend t - tap f - full bend h - half bend ph - pinched harmonic q - quarter bend t - tap bend * - see comment ^ - Hold bend r release bend x - Stuccatto ~ - vibrato bend , - slight palm mute () - ghost note, sustained note " - tremolo note - Trill Tunning - whole step (D etc.) Note: This is my favourite song from the album (that and Cold Demons). It's not actually that hard to play (all riffs are played fairly fast) but there are loads of different fills and variations, which is quite common with Vader. All the fast picking parts are not accurate but listen to the song for lengths and timings. Feel free to Email me if you have any questions.

As I say it's not that hard to play but there are lots of variations and fills to remember and it can get confusing. Send along any corrections you have as well.
