Twist Of Cain tab by Danzig

Guitar tabs

This is my first attempt at tabbing. I picked this song because it was
fairly simple (no solo!).  Listen to the song to get down the correct
timings. Riffs A and C especially have a very bluesy feel to them.

Please send any comments or corrections to bmccoy@CapAccess.org

Notes:

(1) I'm not sure exactly what John Christ is doing here. There may be an
  overdubbed tone on this note. You really need lots of distortion to make
  it squeal. I think a cranked tube amp like a Marshall with a touch of
  feedback does the trick!

(2) I think this actually sounds better just playing the 4th and 5th strings,
  which is why I put the 6th string note in parentheses. It has a stronger
  sound to it, since the flatted 5th isn't swallowed up by both the root and
  octave tones.

TAB: TWIST OF CAIN (Intro) by Danzig
ALBUM: DANZIG


    This is my basic guesse that I did using an acustic
    guitar. This is my first attempt at play by ear so
    don't haggle me if it is wrong!
