Slayer Gates tab by Mick Gordon

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.

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.
