 Okay, here is 'Hammer Smashed Face' by Cannibal Corpse.  It's a
 bit difficult to hear the guitar at some bits (!) so I'm not
 claiming that it is perfect.
 Please send any corrections to abx@dcs.ed.ac.uk.

 Riff 11 - The slow grinding one

 I-------------------------------I  On the original, the two guitars do

 I-------------------------------I  But, if you just play the 2 on the

 I--2-2-2--------------------7\--I  vibrato is sounds kinda similar and
 I--0-0-0---2~~~~~~~----1-1--7\--I  is a lot easier to do.
   PM---+              PM-+
 
 And here's how to put it all together...
 
 The introduction
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Riff 1, played 3 times then riff 2.
 Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2.
 Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2.
 Then for the last few bars, pick the open E string fast with palm muting.
 
 The bass solo 
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 The verse
 ~~~~~~~~~
 Riff 3, played 4 times
 Riff 4, played 4 times
 Riff 3, played 4 times
 
 Riff 5, played 8 times
 
 Chorus
 ~~~~~~
 Fill 6, once
 Riff 7, played twice
 Riff 8, played 4 times
 Fill 6, once
 Riff 7, played twice.
 
 The rest of it
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Riff 5, played 8 times
 
 Riff 1, played 3 times
 Play this 4 times: Riff 9, played 3 times then Riff 10 once.
 
 Riff 4, 4 times
 Riff 3, 4 times
 
 Riff 5, 8 times
 
 Chorus, as above
 
 Riff 5, 8 times
 
 Riff 1, 3 times.
 
 Riff 11, 12 times.
 
 Then come the two chorus riffs, 7 and 8, but with drastically altered timing.
 Listen to the recording, and you should see what I mean.
 
 Riff 8, 4 times
 Riff 5, 8 times
 
 Riff 1, 3 times
 
 Then an abrupt finish on E5.  
 
 Enjoy!
 Andrew
