Boys, you asked me for this one too... So, let's go...
This song ain't just easy to play, like all their songs. But everyone's
able to get
any Pirates From Hell song. So, if you don't get it soon, just keep trying.

I'm posting here "Life After Death", one of the best songs. I'm great
friend of
the band, so I get used to their sound, I mean, I played with the band
years ago and it's
easy for me getting their musics... I used to play a lot of their songs in
the beginning,
like "The Seventh Seal", but I didn't know this one at that time, but I
knew the way that
the other boys used to play, but the their solos and harmonies.
Here we go...

In live gigs, Marck used to do a short solo during this part. Just try it
on Em5.
Marck and Vinny do a great harmony solo (album and live), but it's so hard
to do.

To return to the verses, you hold on F#5 for awile, then Marck does the
riff 2.

It's all the riffs for "Life After Death".
The riffs go like this:

 1 Intro. Grt2 begins first, then Grt1 enters.
 2 Riff 2. Before the first intercalude, only Gtr1 plays the riffs.
 3 Intercalude. Gtr2 does the intercalude and gtr1 does the riff 2.
 4 Gtr3 begins to play the riff 3 (intercalude), as gtr1 keeps doinf the
riif 2.
 5 Gtr1 and 2 play the riffs 2 for the verses. Vocal enters here.
 6 before chorus, only gtr2 does riff 3. Gtr1 does riff 2.
 7 Chorus.
 8 Intercalude. gtr1, 2, 3  do this part.
 9 Gtr1 and 2 play the riffs 2 for the verses. Vocal enters again.
10 before chorus, only gtr2 does riff 3. Gtr1 does riff 2.
11 Chorus.
12 Intercalude. gtr1, 2, 3  do this part, once more.
13 Riff 5. Instrumental breaks begins.
14 Riff 6. still on solos (not posted).
15 Riff 7. Another solo (only live versions - not posted), harmony solo
