Okay, here is 'Hammer Smashed Face' by Cannibal Corpse. It's a bit difficult to hear the guitar at some bits (!) so I'm not claiming that it is perfect.
Riff 7 - The main chorus bit, and the one that people recognise! ~~~~~~ I-----------------------------I------------------------------I I-----------------------------I------------------------------I I--------------------2--------I------------------------------I I-2h5p2--1h4p1--4-4--0--------I--------------------3---------I I---------------2-2-----2-1---I--3h6p3-2h5p2--5-5--1---------I I---------------------------3-I---------------3-3-----3-2-0--I PM--+ PM--+
Riff 8 - the second chorus riff ~~~~~~ I-----------------------------I I-----------------------------I I-----------------------------I I---------------------(p.h)---I I--2h5p2--1h4p1---------1-----I I----------------2h3p2-----0--I
Riff 11 - The slow grinding one ~~~~~~~ I-------------------------------I On the original, the two guitars do I-------------------------------I a trill as indicated by the 4343434. I-------------------------------I But, if you just play the 2 on the I----------43434343-------------I bottom string and give it a lot of I--2-2-2--------------------7\--I vibrato is sounds kinda similar and I--0-0-0---2~~~~~~~----1-1--7\--I is a lot easier to do. PM---+ PM-+
And here's how to put it all together...
The introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Riff 1, played 3 times then riff 2. Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2. Riff 1a, played 3 times then riff 2. Then for the last few bars, pick the open E string fast with palm muting.
The bass solo ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The verse ~~~~~~~~~ Riff 3, played 4 times Riff 4, played 4 times Riff 3, played 4 times
Riff 5, played 8 times
Chorus ~~~~~~ Fill 6, once Riff 7, played twice Riff 8, played 4 times Fill 6, once Riff 7, played twice.
The rest of it ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Riff 5, played 8 times
Riff 1, played 3 times Play this 4 times: Riff 9, played 3 times then Riff 10 once.
Riff 4, 4 times Riff 3, 4 times
Riff 5, 8 times
Chorus, as above
Riff 5, 8 times
Riff 1, 3 times.
Riff 11, 12 times.
Then come the two chorus riffs, 7 and 8, but with drastically altered timing. Listen to the recording, and you should see what I mean.
Riff 8, 4 times Riff 5, 8 times
Riff 1, 3 times
Then an abrupt finish on E5.
