-------------------------------------------------------------------|      Toki plays that riff twice,
 
 
While Skwisgaar plays the legato fill, use a whammy PEDAL to quickly raise the first note an octave.

basically great tab, dethklok is basically the greatest. umm... when i play the "8-8-8-10-8-8-8-11-8-8-8-10" part i mute it just a weencie tiny bit w/ my palm, which i think makes it sound maybe a bit better, but that's such a minor insignificant detail it's basically irrelevant, and it's only an opinion anyways. sick tab dude, five stars.
