BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS.(Intro / main riff). Album : Killing Joke 2003.

As played currently live.

Listening to a Manchester gig from the 2003 tour, I’ve noticed that Geordie was playing the main riff of this track differently…the rest of the song doesn't seem to differ though.
It seems that he plays the A open string added to the F-4 note, that gives a “deeper” sound, and he lets the two notes more ringing than on the studio version.

INTRO / MAIN RIFF. Low D-4 = palm-muted except D-(4).

A-----0-----0-------0-----------------0-----0-------0--0----0-
