Notes : Severed Savior utilize varying dgrees of palm muting in this

each riff. Also, the solo will not be absolutely perfect as
it's played at a fair old pace but it should be close enough
for most.

Riff A: All notes are lightly palm muted unless notated otherwise

Solo 1: The bars here are more of a guide than anything, although
they are probably not that dissimilar to the backing.
However, I recommend that you listen to the CD for the
correct timing and phrasing.

I'm quite happy with how this turned out - especially considering
how technical this song gets on numerous occasions. Despite this,
I don't profess this tab to be perfect so any corrections are
welcome. In addition, any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Also, I encourage you to register a rating that reflects the
quality of this tab. The only way I know that a tab needs
improving or not is if people give it an accurate rating.
Thanks in advance.
