Slayer - Bitter Peace Tab

Notation explanation:
/=3=\
|---------|
|--0-0-0--| Triplets. Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2.
|---------|

|9:-| |2:-|
|8:-| |4:-| Time signature changes. All bars are 4/4 otherwise.
|---| |---|

|---3-/5--| Pick the 3rd fret, slide to the 5th and pick it as well.
|---------|
|---3//5--| Pick the 3rd fret and slide to the 5th.

Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use
8 dashes one beat.

Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth
string to Db. Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.
