The Grudge Guitar Tablature
drop d tuning
h = hammer on
p = pull off
/ = slide up
 = slide down
x = mute

The timing on this song is a bit tricky (at least, for me, cause I'm 
rhythmically impaired.)  Just listen to the CD and it shouldn't be too tough.


intro/verse (palm muted)

d-0h2p0-0


intro (pt. 2) (palm muted)

after the first verse, strum an open D chord on the bottom three strings at a 
steady rhythm


second verse - not exactly sure about this, email me if you figure out a better 
way.

d-0-----/5--3/5--0-------3/5


again, play an open D on the bottom three strings, then go back to the intro 
parts for the buildup to the big scream


during big scream:

b-------3---------
g-------2---------
d-0h2p0-0--0h2p0-3
a-0h2p0----0h2p0-3
d-0h2p0----0h2p0-3


next part ("let go") is palm muted open D on bottom three strings.  listen to CD 
to get the emphasis right.
