Raining Blood tab by Slayer

Solo tabs

Tuning: Eb MajorEb

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

Section 1:
e|--\/\/-----------20~~~~~~~~~~~-------------|
BB|--\/\/-------15-------------------15-------|
G+G|--\/\/--2/18--------------------------18-17|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|----------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------!!|

! means pick scrape

Section 2:
e|----------------------------22~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~|
BB|----------------------------------------------|
G+G|--22~~~~~~22~~~~~~22~~~~~~--------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|----------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------------------------------|
Wild whammy vibrato!

Continue doing some crazy shaking on that D MajorD note and then Jeff does:
e|-------------------------------------\\\|
BB|-------------------------------------\\\|
G+G|---22HF-22HF-22HF-22HF---15/5-15/5---\\\|
D MajorD|-------------------------15/5-15/5---------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------|

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~~~~~----------------|
BB|--------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------------------------------flutter---|
D MajorD|--------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|--------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------|

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|
BB|-----15---------------------------------------|
G+G|--18------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|----------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------------------------------|

repeat these sections and then it ends with horse flutter.

There you go!
