CHORD SHAPES
Welcome to Throwback Thursday’s where I teach you a classic hit from the last 4-5 decades! This week, by request, I’ll be covering a Snuff Guitar Tutorial from metal band Slipknot! I absolutely love this track and for all the amazing heavy songs they write, they’re just as capable of writing a softer emotional ballad. In the recorded version the guitarists actually tune their guitars down 3 semitones which is a real hassle, so I teach you an easy way to play this is standard tuning. Chord and structure wise, this is an incredibly easy song and is based off just 6 chord shapes. There’s also some really nice lead parts to learn.
At the end of the video i’ll be playing through the entirety of #snuff with a vocal track on top for you to play along to. Enjoy! Like this #snuff video by #slipknot and subscribe to the channel for more videos in the future!

[Verse]
Em G/B C G/B
Bury all your secrets in my skin
Em G/B C G/B
Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
Em G/B C G/B
The air around me still feels like a cage
Em G/B C G/B
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again…
[Break]
Em G/B C G/B
Em G/B C
[Chorus]
D Em
So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know.
D Em
My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there.
D Em
Deliver me into my Fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate
D
I don't deserve to have you…
C Em
My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know
[Verse]
Em G/B C G/B
I still press your letters to my lips
Em G/B C G/B
And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
Em G/B C G/B
I couldn't face a life without your light
Em G/B C
But all of that was ripped apart… when you refused to fight
[Chorus]
D Em
So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear.
D Em
You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough?
D Em
I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end.
D
I never claimed to be a Saint…
C Em
My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go
[Solo]
Em G/B C G/B
Em G/B C G/B
Em G/B C G/B

[Chorus]
D
So Break Yourself Against My Stones
Em
And Spit Your Pity In My Soul
D
You Never Needed Any Help
Em
You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself
D
And I Won't Listen To Your Shame
Em
You Ran Away - You're All The Same
D
Angels Lie To Keep Control…
C
My Love Was Punished Long Ago
Em D/F# G G/B C
If You Still Care, Don't Ever Let Me Know
If you still care, don't ever let me know…
[Outro]
Em G/B C G/B
