Reign In Blood tab by Slayer

Originally recorded by Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman on 1986's Reign In Blood.

Yes everybody, your eyes have NOT fooled you!!!
All you slayer fans, I have spent time with a device that allowed me find out how to truly play the
Reign in Blood guitar solo NOTE FOR NOTE!!!
If you notice any mistakes, email me at Whackooyzero@Yahoo.com and I will fix them!


Tuning: Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, eb

A note:
In order to play this solo to any good effect you MUST have a double-locking tremolo.

Section 1:
e|--\/\/-----------20~~~~~~~~~~~-------------|
B|--\/\/-------15-------------------15-------|
G|--\/\/--2/18--------------------------18-17|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------!!|

! means pick scrape

Section 2:
e|----------------------------22~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|--22~~~~~~22~~~~~~22~~~~~~--------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|
Wild whammy vibrato!

Continue doing some crazy shaking on that D note and then Jeff does:
e|-------------------------------------\\\|
B|-------------------------------------\\\|
G|---22HF-22HF-22HF-22HF---15/5-15/5---\\\|
D|-------------------------15/5-15/5---------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

hit that then quickly hit this
e|---26DIVE!|

26 means hit a harmonic near the pickup and then do a slow, sustained whammy dive while:
e|--22~~~~~~~22~~~~~~~~22~~~~~----------------|
B|--------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------flutter---|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

This is Kings bit during the first Jeff section

return to section 3 horse flutter!

Do these parts about 3 times or so and then in the distance hit this:
e|--------22-24-20--13--20--21--18--20-21-20-22D|
B|-----15---------------------------------------|
G|--18------------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------|

repeat these sections and then it ends with horse flutter.

There you go!
