Riff 1
Verse
Chorus
Now GTR1 plays a solo over the verse riff as a melody
GTR2 plays the verse riff four times.
I dont have solo right now for three reasons:
1:two of my strings are broke
2:I dont think im good enough to figure out the solo correctly
and 3: I dont want to just steal it off another tab.(which probably stole it anyway)
It would be great if another Slayer fan would donate the solo(s) to my tab.
If you need help figuring it out, I can tell you that its probably based on the E Phrygian scale (or mode, w/e)
Then you do the Chorus while the other guitar does solo licks over it.
Now for the kik-ass inturlude!
INTURLUDE!!! GTR1

Now Kerry Kings solo. I like this one better than the first one but I think Jeff Hanneman is the backbone of Slayer. It doesnt sound TOO hard. maybe I'll figure it out later and put it on the tab.
This the melody:
