Chords

"Live For the Kill" by Amon Amarth (from "Twilight of the Thundergod") B standard tuning post any comments in the comments section. I will post any additional finds in the comments. I'd like to point out that you can ALMOST play this song in E standard. But if you're along with the CD you'l want to be in B standard to be able to go between songs easily. There is a rhythm part that requires to be in B standard. Tabbed by Darkling83 Main SOLO credit - Sam B . = Palm Mute x = staccato stop. hit the note than stop it ' = tremolo pick / = slide h = hammer on Riff A
