This video is [F] for people who wanted [Gm] to learn Creeping Death.
First off it's standard tune and the first riff is basically [D#] the E string, palm muted,
alternate [A] picked five times.
[E]
[N] Yeah, then it's going to go to the E5.
[E]
[D] [E]
[D] [E] And then this one rests, this E5 rests.
And then you're going to rest it on the D.
[D] [F#] Let me move my camera over so you can see
down my neck.
Okay, [E] then it's just going to be the A to G to an F sharp to an E.
Now the second guitarist,
this [Gm] part I'm going to play slow for you so you can just get a feel for it and then as
you practice along you can build your speeds up and be able to play with the record.
[F] Basically it's a palm [E] muted E note.
[G] And then the next note [E] is, let's see, [F] fifth string second fret, fourth string second fret,
just bar it with your first finger and just [Em] kind of get the rhythm down which is this.
And then there's a pull off there.
First you're going to pluck the fifth string [G]
[B] second fret and [Em] on that same string you're
going to pluck the third [C] fret.
[Em] And then here's the pull off.
You're [A] going to pluck the [B] fifth string [F#] second fret, hammer on with your middle finger and
then pull off with both fingers so it's going to sound like [B] this.
[A] [C] [Em]
If you're not familiar with those pull offs [E] and hammer ons and all that just go ahead
and practice it and practice it before you attempt to try it with the riff because it's
not going to work out.
[F#] But if you are familiar with it just [B] practice it.
[A] [G] With the riff [B] it sounds like this.
[C] [B]
[Em]
[C] [A] [Em] The next riff is pretty easy.
It's just [E] two E's, two palm muted E's, to a [Em] G to an F sharp.
[F#] [G]
[C#] [G] [F#] [Em]
[C#] [N] And then the chorus is, well I'm not going to show you how many times you do this riff
and how many times you do [Gm] that riff.
You just have to go to the record and find out.
I'm just going to show you the main riff.
The chorus [E] is open E, palm muted E three times, and then to a C [B] to a D so [B] it's going to sound like this.
[Gm] [D]
[F] To an F5 to an E5, [E] three more palm mutes on the E, [E] to the C and then to the D.
[D] [G] And then you're going to go high, you're going to go to F5 to [F] G5, [A#] back to the E, [Em] palm mute
E three times, C to the D.
[D] [E] And then to the F5 to the E5 again.
[Em] Back to the [E]
C, D, or palm mute E three times, C and D.
[D]
And then you go to a B, a C sharp [G#] or a D flat, I'm not sure, [D#]
and then to F sharp.
[F#] [B] Go back to the main riff.
[D]
[E] Basically the riffs that I'm not going to show you [G] are kind of consisted of those same riffs.
As soon as you practice a lot and practice and practice, make sure you don't strain yourself,
you'll be able to play at these speeds.
