No Way Out - Bullet For My Valentine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ian
Song: No Way Out
Album: Venom
Band: Bullet For My Valentine
Tuning: Drop C (CGCFAD)
Not sure if this 100% correct, but it should be close and give you an idea of how to play the song.
In some of the chugs the rhythms are not 100% right as this is a general idea and you should be able
find the right rhythm just by listening to the song.
If you do find any mistakes please let me know and I will fix the tab. This is my first tab so constructive
criticism is appreciated!
This song isn't too hard for experienced players familiar with hard rock and metal music but may be
a little tricky for people starting out or players that are not used to the genre.
Enjoy!
