Never thought I'd see a request for Annihilator on the tab group, it's good
to see because they are my favourite band and Jeff Waters is my favourite
guitarist. It's not all here, and it's done from memory, so don't expect it
to be perfect...
ANNIHILATOR - Alison Hell(Incomplete)
The intro goes:
(clean electric)
let the notes ring out

then the rhythm guitar comes in:

the clean picking gets busier when the rhythm comes in

there's a harmonic here but I can't remember where it's played
the cool riff (I think so anyway!)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Last time this bit is harmonised
(haven't worked it out yet)
now comes the clean electric picking part - I haven't really worked it
out yet...sorry
then the rhythm comes in:
---------------------------------------

-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

1st time play the natural harmonic here
and dive it with the bar,
second time it's just a pick scrape down the A string
now the verse riff starts:
Alice isn't it frightening Alice aren't you scared

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
play these with pinch
harmonics
the verses all follow this pattern except for the stops occassionally.
listen to the rhythm because the chords stay the same as here.
I can't remember the rest - I'll try and work out a complete version soon.
Morgan.
