 KF> wow cool, can you give me 'Hammer smashed face?' that song rules. 
yes it does. I'm listening to it right now!
Do you have the lyrics? Can you post them?
Okay, here is 'Hammer Smashed Face' by Cannibal Corpse.  It's a
bit difficult to hear the guitar at some bits (!) so I'm not
claiming that it is perfect.

Riff 11 - The slow grinding one
~~~~~~~
I-------------------------------I  On the original, the two guitars do
I-------------------------------I  a trill as indicated by the 4343434.
I-------------------------------I  But, if you just play the 2 on the
I----------43434343-------------I  bottom string and give it a lot of
I--2-2-2--------------------7\--I  vibrato is sounds kinda similar and
I--0-0-0---2~~~~~~~----1-1--7\--I  is a lot easier to do.
  PM---+              PM-+
