1. Note that there may be mistakes, and I may play some parts differently
from others. All corrections and suggestions are welcome.
2. As always with Cradle of Filth songs, there are keyboard intros
and interludes. I have tried my best to capture the original
sound with the guitar.
~: Vibrato
h: Hammer on
p: Pulling off
s: Slide
t: Trill
m: Palm mute
4. For those parts played more than once, please listen to the song itself.
It should be simple to figure out how many times you need to play the
part. And it goes the same for the case when the guitar plays thrills.
Tune down 1 step, so the sixth string becomes D.
Intro keyboard section Part I:
Very cool keyboard section, indeed. If you play this on a guitar, it still
sounds awesome, especially with those open strings... There are many ways
to play this part, but I convinced myself that it sounds best with this
position, lots of open strings...
Figure A:
-------------------- Play this 4 times. If you use a little bit of
| 0 distortion, it sounds even better, well, at least |
| 0 0 to me... |

Figure B:

Intro guitar: While the intro keyboard part I is being played, this guitar
part is played, too. Repeat this a couple of times.

This is where the guitar comes in.

From now on, play Figure G several times until the vocal comes in.
Also, please listen to the song carefully to figure out how many times you
need to play the following parts and which parts you need to play.

Figure J: If you use a bit of picking harmonics, it sounds a bit more
spooky and thus, better.

Figure W': It is basically the same as Figure W except for that you play
every note only once, with palm mute all the way.

Figure Y: This part, I am not really sure exactly how CoF play, but this is
the way I play it:

Figure Z: Although I know it's unneccesary to mention this here, I'll do
it anyway, because I love this "huge, explosive ending" so much...
