Disturbed: Hell
Transcribed by: mysticguitar77
Tuning: Drop Db (Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb)
Notes: Alright, here's the first single off of the new Disturbed b-side album, The Lost
Children. Most, if not all, covers and tabs of this song are not played accurately at
all, so I decided to learn it myself. I'm about 95% sure this is how it's played. The
only part I'm not sure about is the final chord in the chorus. That's definitely the right
spot, but I think the chord is altered slightly while you're strumming. It's very
subtle, you can only hear the alteration if you listen closely. If anybody can figure it out,
please let me know. And without further ado, let's begin.

Note: This is the signature Dan Donegan riff. He uses these types of bends in a lot of
his writing. To correctly play it, you bend the note to the pitch of the note under it.
So, say for the first bend, you bend the 13th fret of the B string to the pitch of the
10th fret of the high E string. This creates a cool dissonance within the bend to create
that effect.
Play Riff 5 x6 (last time through, exclude the last bend)
Play Riff 4 "Now I can't stay behind..."

* * * * * * * * * *
Play Riff 6 x3 (then play last part of Riff 4 with a downward slide at the end)
Play Riff 1 "Burning now I bring you hell!"
Final notes: Listen to the song for when each part kicks in and follow all my notes
because I follow the song exactly when tabbing it, nothing gets left out. Enjoy!
