Song: They Only Come Out At Night Band: Lordi Tabbed by: unspeakable.elvis@gmail.com Legend: . palm mute h hammer on p pull off / slide up to note \ slide down from note 16\12 slide from 16th fret to 12th fret 7b9 bend 7th fret major second up 9r7 release previous bend ~ vibrato [6] artificial (pinch) harmonic at 6th fret Lots of artificial harmonics in the song; I find them easier to play on the bridge pickup with slightly thicker strings, but then everyone probably has their own method. Good luck!
