Raining Blood

Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, eb

A note:
In order to play this solo to any good effect you MUST have a double-locking tremolo.

Section 1:
e|--<3>\/\/-----------20~~~~~~~~~~~-------------|
B|--<3>\/\/-------15-------------------15-------|
G|--<3>\/\/--2/18--------------------------18-17|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------!!|

! means pick scrape

Section 2:
e|----------------------------22~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|--22~~~~~~22~~~~~~22~~~~~~--------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
Wild whammy vibrato!

Continue doing some crazy shaking on that D note and then Jeff does:
e|-------------------------------------<3>\\\|
B|-------------------------------------<3>\\\|
G|---22HF-22HF-22HF-22HF---15/5-15/5---<3>\\\|
D|-------------------------15/5-15/5---------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

hit that then quickly hit this
e|---26DIVE!|

26 means hit a harmonic near the pickup and then do a slow, sustained whammy dive while:
e|--22~~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~22~~~~~----------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------<3>flutter---|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

This is Kings bit during the first Jeff section

return to section 3 horse flutter!

Do these parts about 3 times or so and then in the distance hit this:
e|--------22-24-20--13--20--21--18--20-21-20-22D|
B|-----15---------------------------------------|
G|--18------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|

repeat these sections and then it ends with horse flutter.

There you go!
