Slipknot Chords & Tabs

Version: 10 Type: Tab

Before I Forget Tab

Before you play it, you must tune your guitar into drop B (B-F#-B-E-G#-Db)
and to make sure your guitar sound better, you must calibrate your guitar and buy the 
right string gauge for the tunning.
I bought Ernie Ball .12 or .11.
If you have any correction to make, send an e-mail to me gustavoramoscl@yahoo.com
This song doest belong to me, it belongs to its owners. =)
Intro:
This intro, is only played on the last string(B), to do so, you will need hammer on and 
pull off skills and also palm muting skills, and a quick right hand( pic hand).and make 
sure that every 0 comes right after the normal notes. do not play without the 0 mutted

usually i do this with just my left hand, but i suppose you can use your pic to play this too.

F#-0--2-0-2-3-2-0-2-0-2-0-2-3-2-0-2-12-0-2-12-0-2-12-2-3-2-12-0-2-12-0-2-12-0-|

And so it goes on and on until the breakdown ends.
i didnt do the rest because besides of my lazyness, i think that discovering how to 
organize yourself musically is a better way to understand how to play, and also a way to 
understand any mistakes, so if you find one, let me know ;).
good luck and keep rockin.
