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 augmentedA and 
C majorC especially have a very bluesy feel to them.

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
