"Thor - The Powerhead", as recorded on "Hell on Wheels Live" by Manowar (sorry about that "as recorded...", but it saves me typing crap like "the choir part transcribed to the guitar" etc.) Intro: E B G D 999 999 999 999 11 12 - 2 times 5 7 A 777 777 777 777 9 10 3 5 E Play it two times and then: E B G D 999 999 999 999 11 12 7 9 7 5 7 4 5 7 5 4 7 A 777 777 777 777 9 10 5 7 5 3 5 2 3 5 3 2 5 E Now, Riff 1: E B G D 9 9 7 5 555555 777777 A 7 7 5 3 333333 555555 E "palm muted " Play two times, then Riff 2: E B G D 9 9 7 5 4 A 7 7 9 10 5 E The Chorus: E 7 B 7 8 10 8 7 ~~ 7(1) 8 10 8 7 G 9 7(2) 7~~ - two times D 9 9 7 7(3) A 7 5 E ~~ - quick legato (hammer - on, pull - off) with the next fret (7,8) Second part is a real nice technical exercise - the numbers in brackets are the fingers you play notes with (would br hard without it). It may look pointless, but it's the easier and the best way. 1 means forefinger, not thumb. E B G D 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 7 A 33333333 55555555 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 9 E " palm muted " Now, the solo: It starts with what I have tabbed, then it gets arythmic, fast and wild, (i.e. hard to tab and great to listen), so improvise! E 3 2 ~~ 5 7 ~~ 10 12 ~~ 15 14 ~~ 12 sl 19 B G D A E And that's it!
