DETUNE GUITAR 1 SEMITONE TO Eb
    
             Eb G# C# F# Bb Eb

---------------------------------------------------------


Intro: 


There are essentially three sections to this song apart from the intro (which I don't know how to play but it may just 
be thrashing all the strings open). Here is an example of all three sections:  
S= slide

Note- The whole tune includes a large amount of tremolo picking
