Band : Deftones Song : Deathblow Album : Deftones (2003) Tabbed by: Cross 7/16/03 Email:xcrossx1@yahoo.com I finally decided to release my tabs to the public (check the bottom for the reason why I didn't in the first place). Tuning: Here is Stephen's REAL tuning G#,C#,F#,B,E,G#,C#. Thats 4 steps down from regular tuning and 1 1/2 steps down for 7 string. I play these on a regular Guitar so I don't have the extra C# but it still sounds 99-100% correct.

According that i have a standard six strings acoustic guitar, the song is made on a 7 strings baritone (or 6 strings baritone), so it may sound wierd on your guitar. Comments: see at the end.\/ Intro C#------------------------------------------------------------------------ <>slide from 3rd fret to 12 fret. \ slide backward (eg 12\3) >>slide from 12 fret to 3rd fret Comments to [beto_zwitter@hotmail.com]
