Finally returning and providing some tabs for this classic! A good mix of a slow sludge riff in the first half then some classic fast gallops in the second half.
For the first half of the song pay attention to the little details such as the small bends and slides in the sludge riff. Guitar 2 is spending a lot of time smashing out those open C power chords!
For the second half practise getting those gallops nice and tight.
I went a little overboard with tracking on this one and ended up quad tracking in places. Also I have a noise gate on the guitars to help clamp down the sound when I'm not playing anything. Same on the bass. Helps keep those short power chords nice and snappy.
Bass cover and tabs to follow soon!
Questions below as always, I do my best to answering them when I can!

[@thehoppo]

Lovely lovey birds!

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Singing such a lovely song... Before the riffs come crushing back in

[@lachevre_mtb]

One of my favorite song ever...This one and "what a horrible night to have a curse" and you have a tutorial for each one ! Thanks.

[@dissonant_a]

You’re a crack up mate, loved the jig with the birds 😂 top shelf playing as always!

[@claytonicForce]

Love your videos. Thank you for the tabs.

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Glad they've helped!

[@Sispheor]

Merci monsieur ! 🫡

[@TrendKill92]

Well done. Ive followed a few of your videos for tabs, thanks for the help!

[@TrendKill92]

BTW check out my ocean planet cover, I think you would appreciate it! It's probably one of my better covers yet, have a nice day!

[@Cameron9788]

Beast of a song and beast playing! Love this song. Noticed some diffrences to how I play it so I'll have to make some changes! lol. Awesome as always mate!

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Thanks for the support as always 🤘🤘 I found some slight differences from how I use to play it too after looking at some live videos

[@Cameron9788]

@@ShadowMantraSteve Always welcome mate!. Your videos always make me wanna pick up my guitar again haha. Live videos are a goldmine for learning how to play stuff. It's been fun learning Natural Elements by Liverum by ear since there's no live videos or tabs out there. Such a great song.

[@liamsexton7758]

Thank you so much for all the work you do to provide such excellent tabs. Ive learned so much because of your videos and I look forward to every upload 🙏🏼❤️

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

Glad they've been helpful! Appreciate the support too 🤘🤘

[@wormwza8788]

[@ShadowMantraSteve]

[@zaczakariclips]

Can you do Pray? I love that song

[@MemnochCardiel]

Wait. How'd you do a Harmonised bend? how is that different from a normal bending?

[@eduardovazquez5923]

Hi @Shadow Mantra, is there a way I can download the tabs and the backing track? It doesn't matter if there is a cost for it.
Regards!
