"We call this the Mr Bungle chord," Schaffer explains, showing the
chord that Korn use for their movable tritone diad, like in example 11
You can also add a double of the low note an octave higher, like in
example 12. This can be seen in action by a glance back at example 2.

The intro to "K@#%!" (LiP), (example 13), is totally comprised
of 'Mr Bungle' chords. After doing this for a short while, they revert
back to power chords, hammering the riff, as shown in example 14.

Example 15 is the shape of the chord being strummed at the start of
"Blind" (Korn). Basically it is a tritone chord (E in this case), and is
played on the D G B strings (example 16), with a low B thrown in at the
second fret on the A string. This all adds up to dissonance as it definately
jars with the Bb note. In isolation, we can see that these two notes,
(example 17), create an interval a half step short of an octave, or namely
a major seventh. This is our third of our trio of evil intervals.
