So Drop to D, then another 3 frets down... takes the e string down to a B.
This is what the lowest note on a 7 stringer would be. Me thinks that the tab is indeed fiddled with so people can play it on a six string guitar.
I think Mick Thompson is a good guitarist, he can shred quite well when I have heard him outside the 'knot. But none of the band show any real musicianship in 'knot coz simply there is no room for anything musical, their individual talents are wasted. I also think that Corey Taylor is a very good vocalist, or at least he is when he sings in Stonesour.
Korn didn't pioneer the seven string. Steve Vai did. In fact originally Korn used Vai signature Ibanez's until they got their own signature 7 stringer, the K-7. Steve Vai incidentally makes a mockery of 237 bpm. He has been known to play at 21 notes per second, which works out at 1260 bpm.
If you want something heavy and musical check out Nickelbacks first album. Yes I am being serious. Or Stiltskin! (Anyone remember them?)
Noobster, what do you mean part of the string is stuck under the bridge? What type of guitar have you got? Which E string? If it is a strat that you have (Fender, Squier or any other copy) and a string has snapped and left the end in the block then just get a bit of wire, a needle...anything that will fit into the block from the top and push the end out. If it is a Floyd Rose trem, i.e one with bolts over the strings at the nut, then be VERY careful. If you aren't you can damage the trem's edge and it will never be the same again. If it is a tune-o-matic bridge i.e a les paul stylee, then the most that could have happened is you managed to jam a string into a groove on a saddle. Happened to me once when I went up a gauge of strings. It just pulled out then.

Yeah they do. It's a fact.
Can anyone tell me how to re-string my E-string? :(
I swear that part of the string is trapped under the bridge and I can't get it out :|
Might take it to my veteran mate who has 14 guitars and 20-years of knowledge :D
