Quick Lick: Slayer - "Die By The Sword"

In Quick Licks, we'll be bringing you short, bite-sized video lessons that show you how to play classic riffs from your favorite songs.

In the following video, Guitar World's Matt Scharfglass shows you how to play the main riff to "Die By the Sword" from Slayer's debut album, Show No Mercy.

This Quick Lick is one of many coinciding with the "Big Four Weeks," our month-long celebration of all things Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax leading up to the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium on September 14.
