Mastodon: "Black tounge" tab Tuning: Standard D The main riff bellow is actually played by both guitars in two different tones that overlaps each other. I made it possible for you ro play it with only one guitar.

It`s basicaly the same structure once again untill you meet the pre-chorus or whatever you`ll call it. "You can run to the sea..."
