Skin Ticket by Slipknot
Tabbed by Jason
This is an amazing song. It?s not as fast as most other Slipknot
songs but it captures a pure feeling of complete psychosis?I love it!
A few notes about this song: the tuning is drop A, NOT Slipknot?s
usual drop B. That means tune your low E string down to D, then tune
the entire guitar down 2 ? steps. (Low to high: A E A D F# B)
Also, effects are very important in this song, use a wah pedal and
various effects on Riff 1.
Notation Key:
/ -Slide
<5> - Harmonic
pm - Palm mute
b - Bend ? step
# - Tremolo picking
Riff 1 (use as many effects as possible)

That?s it, a fairly complex song but it shouldn?t be too hard to
figure out where all the riffs go. Send questions, comments, and
