• Song:

    Oblivion

  • Artist:

    Mastodon

This isn't quite the whole song but I worked out the intro, verse and chorus parts. 
that I'm a bit stuck but will keep working on it.

Listen to the song to get the timing right, I haven't really shown how it's timed, just 
notes played.

* Natural harmonic
. Palm mute
.- Palm mute on 2 digit note (e.g 10 with .- underneath means single muted note on 10th 
10 with .. underneath means two separate muted notes; first on the 1st fret then on the 
fret.)
/ Slide up
\ Slide down
h Hammer on

Enjoy,
