Gently
~~~~~~
By: Slipknot
This Score tabbed by: Bill Dunn
Personal Notes: After over a week of playing back parts of the song over and over again, i finally got tb his song done in it's entirety. I used Power Tab Editor, and when i played it back, it sounded pretty close, but keep in mind that this is my interpertation, and im sticking to it.
Notes on this song: A very different (yet very pretty) song done by four of the same memebers of the band that brought you "Wait and Bleed," "Only one," and my personal favorite, "Snap." The introduction of this song is the only real hard part. The rest should come easy to you. Like all songs on the MFKR album, a lot of palm muting is done.
Tuning- All strings tuned down a whole step, 6th string down two whole steps (C G C F A D)
Introduction (no distortion)- only Gtr I plays first time, Gtr II comes in second time
Gtr I
