“Leechmaster” is a hardcore tremolo workout for the guitarist.  This 
song takes a lot of study and practice to get it to sound like the 
recording.  It is important to pace yourself, make sure your wrist is 
under control, and that you’re locked in well with your drummer.  Have 
fun!


Tune all strings down a perfect fourth (B, E, A, D, F#, B)

Riff B


Use your ring finger to play the fifth fret on the B string, use your 
pinkie finger to play the fifth fret on the E string, use your middle 
finger to play the fourth fret on the E string, and use your index 
finger to play the third fret on the B string.  Although awkward at 
first, this is the smoothest method of playing this riff.
