Live for the Kill Amon Amarth
"Live For the Kill" by Amon Amarth (from "Twilight of the Thundergod")
B standard tuning
[B] [E] [A] [D] [F#] [B]
post any comments in the comments section. I will post any additional finds in the comments.
I'd like to point out that you can ALMOST play this song in E standard. But if you're
along with
the CD you'l want to be in B standard to be able to go between songs easily. There is
a rhythm part
that requires to be in B standard.
Main SOLO credit - Sam B

x = staccato stop. hit the note than stop it

Some of this uses a wah pedal, check his pro tab for where.
