This is a really heavy song, and it is difficult to play. So I recommend playin' it
and then working,
your way up to the slipknot speed. So practice makes perfect. The tuning for this song
A E A D F# B.
Intro: This part is pretty simple but the open power chords have to be played really really fast. This
is a good excercise for your alternate picking.
