Song:Vikingland Artist:Satyricon Album:The Shadowthrone Tabbed by:Asbeel@hotmail.com Pretty staightforward song ... at first listen !! If your a crazy perfectionist like me you will notice some strange grooves in the middle and at the end . There seems to be no real pattern , but have no fear I will do It all because , yes , I am that much of a guitar nazi . Some stuff you may prefer to play on the G string ( tremelo riffs ) but I have It on d because I prefer the tone , no other reason . Whatever tickles your pickle .... Here we go . Key: v=vibrato /=slide pm=palm mute h=hammer-on p=pull-off ()=artificial harmonic Riff 1x6 -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- ---7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7-7/8-8-- ---7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7--7/5-7/8--7-7-7/8-8-- ---5-5--5/3-5/6--5-5--5/3-5/6--5-5--5/3-5/6--5-5-5/6-6-- Riff 2x4 x8 pick very fast , ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ---12-10-------13-12-13-12-- ---------13-12-------------- ---------------------------- Riff 2b x8 Octave lower --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- --------------------- ---5-3-----6-5-6-5--- -------6-5----------- This is the first confusing part , just play It exactly how I have shown and listen .
