Thanks a lot to Yani and Ray for giving me the opportunity to do this.

-------------------------------------------------------------

This is currently slated to be the first single from the Obsolete album.  
It is a moody song that fluctuates from quiet and spiritual to the loud 
and passionately heavy.  The hammer-on series of notes in Riffs A and B 
may prove somewhat difficult to memorize.  However, this is nothing that 
listening to the track won't soon fix.  

There shouldn't be very many challenges in the way of technique here.  
It is, nonetheless, a good place to practice the powerful, doom-colored, 
sustaining chords that make the end of the song so memorable.  Learn how 
to control the strings and still make them resonate.  Have fun!

Tune all strings down a perfect fourth (B, E, A, D)
