Tabs
Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)
This is a tab of Slayer Gates from the Doom Eternal OST by Mick Gordon.
Tuning for 7 String : E MajorE Eb MajorEb AbAb DbDb GbGb Bb majorBb eb
Tuning for 8 String : E MajorE Bb majorBb Eb MajorEb AbAb DbDb GbGb 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 MajorE 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.
Also, watch my cover of this song on Youtube!

Riff 3 pt 1 x2
When bending, bend half a step and bend back quickly. The effect is kinda like hitting the string hard,
and then it goes back in tune.
