Suicide Nation At the Gates I play this in drop D because I find it much easier and more convenient, but it is NOT how it is meant to be played. I do it simply because it is more convenient. It should be played in drop B. The only differences between the two ways of playing though, is that some of the 9's of the D string and 2's of the A string while in drop D are open notes on the B string of Drop B. I will note where these spots are with a "*". Besides that, this tab is perfect in all (xguitar.com)
