Band- Queens Of The Stone Age
Song- The Sky Is Falling
This is how it`s played on the CD, and it`s played with a pick.
To get this tuning its easier to tune a 5 string half a step up.
p ... Pull Off b ... Bend
/ ... Slide Down h ... Hammer On r ... Release Bend
This is all my own work. Enjoy.
6/8 Time
Most of this song is played on the 12th fret or above, that`s why it sounds boomy at times.
If you use standard tuning you can still play it easily by transposing
