WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Lordi - They Only Come Out At Night Tabs | Ver. 1
Band: Lordi
Legend:
. palm mute
h hammer on
p pull off
/ slide up to note
\ slide down from note
16\12 slide from 16th fret to 12th fret
7b9 bend 7th fret major second up
9r7 release previous bend
~ vibrato
[6] artificial (pinch) harmonic at 6th fret
Lots of artificial harmonics in the song; I find them easier to
play on the bridge pickup with slightly thicker strings, but
then everyone probably has their own method. Good luck!
