Tabs

band - Candlemass
song - A augmentedA Sorcerer's Pledge
album - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
composer - Leif Edling

Tuning is somewhere between Eb MajorEb and D MajorD (if you have an electric guitar tuner, tune at the
point before D MajorD turns to Eb MajorEb). If you want to play it like they do live, tune to C#C# (aka.
Sabbath tuning). Right now, it will be tabbed for D.

/ - slide up
\ - slide down
# - pick slide
~ - bend string
. - palm mute
