pHat by Forbidden
tabbed by Aaron Richards
does anybody besides me listen to Forbidden? unfortunately they are no
longer a band but they have some really good shit on CD. this song is
really heavy and some of it's hard to hear, but i did my best. all the
guitar is basically a variation on two different riffs. Tune down about
one whole step. oh yeah, and part of this song has a weird time sig.
Gtr. 1- left spkr.
play 3x 4th time

alot of riffs a & a1 and putting in the fills 1 & 2 in some places ,
except for verse 3 which is the same as verse 1 and 2. this song ends
