 Riff #4:
 --------
 There are 2 guitars present on this part - the bass does the single notes
 and the guitar just does the power chords and harmonics.  I tabbed this 
 so you can play both with one guitar (that's how I do it anyway).

 Be sure to let the power chords and harmonics ring as long as you can
 before switching back to the single note riff.

 Sound tip:
 ----------

 To get your guitar to sound like the recording, I recommend
 a ton of distortion with either an overdrive or heavy metal
 pedal. My DOD Death Metal pedal works perfectly for on all
 of my guitars.

 I hope you find this tab useful.  If this tab has helped you,
 please drop me a line and let me know.  It's nice to know the
 work involved in writing this tab is appreciated. I've learned
 that Writing guitar tab is harder and more time consuming than
 it looks...


 Right you are Ken!
 and remember.........DON'T GET ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!

 Enjoy!
