YouTube Video: https://youtu.be/H038OVmmqCk In this sludge metal guitar lesson I'm teaching you Blank by EYEHATEGOD, the opening track from Take As Needed For Pain. The song is broken down into its main riffs, each demonstrated and explained in full detail. C Standard Tuning: C-F-A#-D#-G-C The song is played in the key of C Minor and it's riffs utilize elements from the Natural Minor Scale {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} and Phrygian Mode {R, b2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} along with the Diminished Fifth ,b5 , from the Blues Scale and the Major Third, M3. In general, the song makes great use of chromatic passing tones as it blends the various minor scales.
