- ** Cause of Death
- ** by OBITUARY
- ** from the album 'Cause of Death'
- ** Transcribed by Kevin Phillips, kphill@iconz.co.nz
-
- Here is a groovy, semi-funky song from the album of the same name.
- This album is one of my all time fav's - lots of atmosphere, sound Fx, and
- some cool grinding guitar noises.. Also one hell of a great Drum mix!
-
- As always, RIFF's are first, then Song STRUCTURE. 'x' means a palm-mute,
- and I apologise for any mistakes.. If somebody fixes something, can you
- email me with it so I can update my tab collection? Thanks!
-
- For those who are interested, I have also Tabbed 'INFECTED' and 'MEMORIES
- REMAIN', but seem to have misplaced the tab sheets somewhere for now..
- Will get them uploaded soon.. Anybody else got TAB from this great album
- that they'd like to share?
-
- Enjoy..

- *****************
- **SPECIAL NOTE:**
- ******************************************************************************
- Note that Obituary uses a lot of slight variations in their riffing. One time
- a riff may have a C5-chord like: D:--5--
- A:--3--
- E:-----
-
- Whereas, the next time around, they get more 'Grind' into it by using:
- D:--5--
- A:--3--
- E:--3-- <-Add a 4th (is that right-'4th'?)
-
- RIFF D has this variation, usually always on the second repitition. Listen
- to the album to hear this.. I didn't tab it because its basically a copy of the
- first time around! (and cause I'm lazy! - Plus this costs $$$ to eMail/FTP!)
- ******************************************************************************
