Slayer – Point tab

                                 SLAYER
                               P O I N T
                From their '98 album 'Diabolis in Musica'

Tabbed by:  Jason Mathie
            Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca

Comments:

I will only show the bottom four strings throughout this tab.

Instead of simply showing palm muting, I will show heavy palm muting and
light palm muting, using H.M and L.M rather than P.M.

Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth
string to Db.  Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.

Tempo: 100 bpm
