Tabbed by Antti Leiviska

Hey all Death-fans!
*******************
Here's the tab for the opening song from the latest Death album
Symbolic. The solo isn't tabbed because I can't play it :(
If someone has the solo, please e-mail it to me, I would
appreciate it.
I included timing and I think it is pretty correct. The palm-muted
section in Rhy.Fig.2 is a real killer for your picking hand, so'
practice it first slowly with a metronome gradually increasing
tempo. This helps your learning a lot. And play the ending of
Rhy.Fig.4 and Rhy.Fig.6 with downstrokes.
Send feedback, corrections and additions to amok@linux.muhos.fi.
Have fun!
Chuck Schuldiner - guitar and vocals
Kelly Conlon - bass
Gene Hoglan - drums
Bobby Koelble - guitar
