Never thought I'd see a request for Annihilator on the tab group, it's good
to see because they are my favourite band and Jeff Waters is my favourite
guitarist. It's not all here, and it's done from memory, so don't expect it
to be perfect...

ANNIHILATOR - Alison Hell(Incomplete)

Tabbed by Morgan Phillips


The intro goes:

(clean electric)

let the notes ring out
-----------------------------
-----------------------------

-2-------2----------1-------1
---0--0---------------0--0---
-----------------------------


then the rhythm guitar comes in:

-----------------------------
--------------------8--------
--7-----------------8--------
--7-----------------6--------
--5--------------------------


the clean picking gets busier when the rhythm comes in

------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

-2--------2-------2-------2-------1-------1-------1-------1-------
----0--0----0--0----0--0----0--0----0--0----0--0----0--0----0--0--
------------------------------------------------------------------


there's a harmonic here but I can't remember where it's played


the cool riff (I think so anyway!)

both guitars:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Last time this bit is harmonised
(haven't worked it out yet)


now comes the clean electric picking part - I haven't really worked it
out yet...sorry


then the rhythm comes in:

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---

---7---------7-----7-7---6-------6-----6-6---7---------7-----7-7---6
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------- cont.
^^^ ^^^ ^^^ ^^^
let these chords ring


-------------
------h------
------4------
------------- X 2

1st time play the natural harmonic here
and dive it with the bar,
second time it's just a pick scrape down the A string


now the verse riff starts:

Alice isn't it frightening Alice aren't you scared
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---5-----------------------------5-------4----------------------------------
---3---0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0--3--0-0--2---0-0-0--0-0-0--0----------------
-------------------------------------------------------------0-0-2-3-5-3-2--
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
play these with pinch
harmonics

the verses all follow this pattern except for the stops occassionally.
listen to the rhythm because the chords stay the same as here.


I can't remember the rest - I'll try and work out a complete version soon.

Morgan.
