Tomb Of Gilgamesh by Tourniquet
Tomb Of Gilgamesh
r = rest
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
h = hammer on
p = pull off
PM = Palm mute
tr = tremolo/trill--you'll get the idea
() = Watch! This note might not be there.
It might be a shared one, where you go to the next riff on that note,
but it's there just to show you where to go.

version 2
main riff
I've seen a different version of this riff using Drop-D tuning. This
is however how I play it, using a guitar with all strings tuned down
one whole step (dafcgD), which feels more natural to me.
Not sure about the time, but I think it's in 12/8 and tempo is around
220 bpm. (Let's just say: Play it as fast as you can. If you can play
it a lot faster than on the record, accurately of course, you're a
pretty good guitar player.
All notes are 1/8:s, so all you need to concentrate on is playing on
time.
