Echoes In The Well - Corrosion of Conformity From the album Blind *****************************DROP**D**TUNING****************************** Intro: (BASS) This bass part if played throughout all of the song except the chorus and at the end (I think). Just follow rythm guitar for those parts of the song, since I think the bass and rythm play the same stuff there.

In this case (drop D tuning) a simple D blues scal would look like this: E|-----------------------------------------10--13--| B|---------------------------------10--13----------| G|-------------------------10--12------------------| D|-----------------10--12--------------------------| A|---------10--12----------------------------------| D|-12--15------------------------------------------| Just improvise stuff on those notes through the whole song. Do a lot of bends and stuff to give it more style than just plain notes... Intro: (GUITAR) Let the bass player do that riff above a few times, then slide down (off the fretboard) and then start in with the main riff. Make sure to REALLY bend those F5 chords!!!!

I usually don't figure out a song enough to tab it in a few months. If anybody's interested, I finally got around to sitting down and tabbing up one of the solos from the Black Sabbath classic "War Pigs". If anybody's interested, please e-mail me.
