Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) This is a tab of Slayer Gates from the Doom Eternal OST by Mick Gordon. Tuning for 7 String : E Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb Tuning for 8 String : E Bb Eb Ab Db Gb bb eb Though this may seem like an odd tuning, this is the same tuning Meshuggah used on Perpetual Black Second, and Stengah, maybe a few others. Just tune your bottom string to E and the rest of your strings half a step-down. When playing this song on a 7 or 6 string, remember to have heavy gauge strings for your bottom string for better tuning stability.
