Tuning Bb

I used some of azagthoth_666's tab, but only about half was usuable. It was also
an incompcomplete tab, so I tabbed the wrong parts and the parts that were not
on his tab, and I added them in.

Im dont know if Morbid Angel uses 7-string guitars, but all I have is a 6-string
LTD with 12's that is tuned 3 steps down, but I formatted this tab in 6-string
format anyways, because it makes it much shorter, and there are no solos
anyways. If there are any mistakes, be sure to let me know, the tab isn't going
to get any better if no one tells me what is wrong with it.
