This is my first attempt at tabbing.  I picked this song because it was     
fairly simple (no solo!).   Listen to the song to get down the correct  
timings.  Riffs A and C especially have a very bluesy feel to them.

(1) I'm not sure exactly what John Christ is doing here.  There may be an  
    overdubbed tone on this note.  You really need lots of distortion to make 
    it squeal.  I think a cranked tube amp like a Marshall with a touch of  
    feedback does the trick! 

(2) I think this actually sounds better just playing the 4th and 5th strings, 
    which is why I put the 6th string note in parentheses.  It has a stronger  
    sound to it, since the flatted 5th isn't swallowed up by both the root and  
    octave tones.

TAB: TWIST OF CAIN (Intro) by Danzig 
ALBUM: DANZIG 


        This is my basic guesse that I did using an acustic 
        guitar. This is my first attempt at play by ear so 
        don't haggle me if it is wrong!
