Mastodon - Oblivion
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Shannon
E-mail: sleedelorme@gmail.com
This was tabbed based on some youtuber's videos, Mastodon's video Live at the Aragon,
and the studio recording. I did my best to make sure it was as accurate as possible to the
studio recording. This is the song IN IT'S ENTIRETY, no parts should be missing from
this tab, I hope you enjoy it, this is my first tab. Also, don't be afraid to use a pick for
this one, Troy does, but it can be played either way.
Bass comes in at 0:10
Tuning: Drop C [CGCF]

VERSE:
You can play this as it is tabbed, or double all the notes on the low C string to keep
pace with the rhythm guitar (I believe)

SOLO:
This covers the slow part right before the solo, the solo itself, and then the parts
after the solo before the start of the last chorus, I just grouped it together for the sake
of convenience.
