Bitter Peace Slayer
SLAYER BITTER PEACE From their '98 album 'Diabolus in Musica' Tabbed by: Jason Mathie Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca This song has one of the most unusual structures for a Slayer song. If you try to play along with the CD, I guarantee that bar of 9/8 will ruin your timing. Very odd transition. Comments: I will only show the bottom three strings throughout this tab. Notation explanation: /=3=\ |---------| |--0-0-0--| Triplets. Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2. |---------| |9:-| |2:-| |8:-| |4:-| Time signature changes. All bars are 4/4 otherwise. |---| |---| |---3-/5--| Pick the 3rd fret, slide to the 5th and pick it as well. |---------| |---3//5--| Pick the 3rd fret and slide to the 5th. Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat. Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use 8 dashes one beat. Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth string to Db. Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Tempo: 80 bpm Riff A1 Db |--LeftGtr-----------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1-2-5-5-4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1-2-5-5-4---| P.M |. . . . . . | | | Db |--RightGtr----------------------| Ab |----------------------2-5-5-4---| Db |----------------------2-5-5-4---| Play Riff A1 4x Then play: Db |--LeftGtr-----------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1---5-5-4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1-025-5-4---| P.M |. . . . . . | | | Db |--RightGtr----------------------| Ab |------------------------5-5-4---| Db |----------------------025-5-4---| Riff A2 Db |--------------------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1h2-5-5-4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1h2-5-5-4---| Both Gtrs Play Riff A2 4x Then play: /=== repeat 3x =================\ Db||*--------------------------------*||--------------------------------| Ab||*-3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1--*||3---6---5--\1---------3\2-------| Db||--3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1---||3---6---5--\1---3-5-6-----5-4-1-| Riff A3 Db |--------------------------------| Ab |0---2---1---0---2---1///5---4---| Db |0---2---1---0---2---1///5---4---| Play Riff A3 3x Then play: Db |---------------------------------|--------------------3-----------| Ab |-3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1---|3---6---5--\1---2-3---2-1-------| Db |-3---6---5---3---6---5---4--\1---|3---6---5--\1-------------5-4-1-| Play Riff A2 4x, followed by Db|0---------------| After this there is 8 bars of bass and drums Ab|0-----let-ring--| The drums sort of just peter out, after that Db|0---------------| there is about 3 beats silence and..

Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca Author/Artist: Slayer Title: Bitter Peace Album: Diabolus in musica Transcribed by: metallihead-zooner@geocities.com As always from http://www.slayerized.com This song is actually far more complicated than it seems, riffs are played in odd quantities such as in the first little area below, i tried to put the time of where each bar or riff starts, and the amount of times you need to play it, Please note that if there is no "x whatever" it means to play it once only. -----------------|----------------|-----------------|----------------|
