I think the end of the chorus is actually like this Drop B, ofcourse ||------------------------------- ||------------------------------- ||------------------------------- ||-7--7--8p7-8\10-10/5-5\7-8-8-p7- ||-7--7--8p7-8\10-10/5-5\7-8-8-p7- ||-7--7--8p7-8\10-10/5-5\7-8-8-p7- It probably doesnt look right, but if you nailed the timing right, youll hear it. It may sound too melodic for a slipknot song, but hey, isnt this whole album a new step ;-) Just try it And WOWdoritos, NEVER compare to vids of songs, cuz unless they're live, they're mostly played around the same frets, but never exactly the song. :-)
