Scrolls of the Megilloth
Mortification
From the album "Scrolls of the Megilloth"
1992 Intense Records
Frontline Music Group
This song, to some people, IS Mortification. One of my favorite songs to hear
live. Tune your guitars to C sharp. Please don't count the number of notes I put
down and expect that to be the right ammount. Come on. This is grind (and it was
tabbed on an accoustic). Have fun.
Here's a little hint: when you play something this fast, put your fingers in the
form that you use for power chords and just play the indicated notes with your
first finger (but you already know this, being the incredible Christian guitar
player that you are).
This way, if you hit the wrong string, it won't sound bad. And just the pressure
of having your other finger there will add a litle harmony.
When you listen to the CD, it will seem like there are two guitars, with one
playing a higher part. That high part is the sound of the pick hitting the
strings. You usualy can't notice it, but when you play really fast, like on
this song, it stands out.
After the organ plays for a while guitar1 comes in with Riff a:

Ah, yes, the good ol' days of Mortification. That last part is the only area
where you can play something different than what is indicated. If you can't
figure out other ways to play it, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. Remember
that this song is copywrited, which I guess gives them special rights. I don't
really know, but I think that you aren't allowed to play this in public or
something.
Oh Well.
