The Trial Tab by King Diamond


King Diamond's The Trial (Chambre Ardente) on the album The Eye.
Very good song.  Has a lot of spirit, tempo changes and diff'rent rhythm.
Relativelay easy to play, so if you're a beginner and want to play
a King Diamond Song, this is the best song to learn (you'll improve
many skills in trying to play it)!

When King Diamond begins to sing, play Rhythm 1 then (Rhythm 3) :

B |--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------8--|
G |--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------7--|
D |-------8------|-------8---8--|-------8------|-------8---5--|

E |-000000--0-0--|-000000--0-6--|-000000--0-0--|-000000--0----|

After that, play the rhythms above in that order : Rhythm 2, 1, 3, 1.

Now for the first solo :
     T H P    T H P      T H P             T H P   T H P              P

    PM--------/         PM--------/      PM--------/        PM/       PM
By the way, I'll call the rhythm under the first solo : RHYTHM 4

And Here's the 5th Rhythm played 3 times (The last time, play only the 2 first
bars) 
E |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
B |-----------------|-----------------|-----------8-|-----------8-|
G |-----------------|-----------------|-----------7-|-----------7-|
D |-----------------|-----------------|-----------5-|-----------5-|
A |-----------------|-----------------|-------------|-------------|
E |-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-2-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-|-0-0-0-0-0---|-0-0-0-0-0---|
    PM------------/   PM------------/   PM------/     PM------/
          (*) Take Care of that G5 chord, I find it very hard to do. Here's a
          tip : upstrike it!  If you still are unable to strike it in time,
          try to take it on the A string at fret 10, it's easier but doesn't
          sound the same.

Rhythm 6 (2 times):
E |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
B |------------|------------|------------|---------------|
G |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
D |---------3--|---------3--|---------5--|---4-------3---|
A |---------1--|---------1--|---------3--|---2-------1---|
E |-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-00000----|-0-------0-----|
    PM-----/     Pm-----/     PM-----/     PM      PM
(*) There's lot of tremolo bar-harmonic-reverb-echo effect over this part.

Rhythm 7 :
E |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
B |-------------|-----------|------------|---------|
G |-------------|-----------|------------|-------5-|
