This is the song "Touching the void" By Soulfly from the album "Conquer".
Tuning is Drop C (CGCFAD)
This is my first tab, so there will most likely be some mistakes but I don't know for
I transcribed this by ear and it sounds a lot like it. Hopefully it is because I think i
much suck at guitar, but I love playing. Its tabbed up until the Tribal drumming part
at the end.
h = Hammer on
* = Pinch Harmonic
PM|--| = Palm Mute
/ = finger Slide
Anyway, this is Touching the Void:
