Band: Mastodon
Album: Crack the Skye
Track 1: Oblivion
Tabbed By: Jamie Hough
Before I start can I just point out that I know this isnt 100% correct - its probably
50% correct (if that). I have worked for HOURS on trying to get this tab down but Im
great difficulty. Therefore I thought I could post what Ive come up with so far and hope
someone with a far greater knowledge of guitar can fill in the blanks/improve parts to
tab. I cower from the hordes of fellow Mastodon fans who will find this 'incomplete' tab
and feel the need to tell me in the comments box, but please know that I am only trying
aid the collective effort for someone to get a full tab out soon... lets begin!

This is the part that has been KILLING me to figure out - its based around the following

Ok, thats as much as I can do for now. Again, I apologise for its incompleteness and
but I hope Ive done enough for someone more talented than me to do the rest of the work.
comments and obviously corrections please leave in the box or message me - just try to
nice!
