Mastodon: "Black tounge" tab
Tuning: Standard D
The main riff bellow is actually played by both guitars in two different tones that
overlaps each other. I made it possible for you ro play it with only one guitar.

Then after playing this riff, you go back to playing the same thing one more time. It`s
basicaly the same structure once again untill you meet the pre-chorus or whatever you`ll
call it.
"You can run to the sea..."

Then you`ll have to learn this awesome riff (At least i think so). I think it works like

Well, here you have the main base of the awesome song from mastodon! I promise to tab
the solo and the ending in a tab later on. If you are new to Mastodon i recomend you to
check out their previous works too!! By the way, this was my first tab. Hope i did okay.
