Checkmate- Bring The Heat
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ben Campbell
Email: [email protected]
Band: Bring The Heat
Song: Checkmate
www.myspace.com/bringtheheat570
Tuning: Drop A (or Drop B. your choice)
When I started to figure the song out my guitar was in drop A. So I tabbed it in drop A.
However Im pretty sure its just in drop B though. I like using drop A because in the
first breakdown I like chugging the bottom a and e open. If you use drop B just
play everything 2 frets lower.
Also, I tabbed it like I play it with one guitar. I add a few random extra things to
make one guitar a little more heavy.
Listen to figure out weather to palm mute hard or light. and when to let it ring

* because one guitar seems play the 9/7 and 10/8 and the other an octave lower on the
low a and e strings, I like to still use the low a to keep the sound full.
