Tomb Of Gilgamesh Solo

Tourniquet

Tom: A

From the album: Microscopic view of a telescopic realm.

I've seen a different version of this riff using Drop-D tuning. This
is however how I play it, using a guitar with all strings tuned down
one whole step (dafcgD), which feels more natural to me.

Not sure about the time, but I think it's in 12/8 and tempo is around
220 bpm. (Let's just say: Play it as fast as you can. If you can play
it a lot faster than on the record, accurately of course,  you're a
pretty good guitar player.

All notes are 1/8:s, so all you need to concentrate on is playing on
time.
