Song: Barbarian
Band: Electric Wizard
Album: Dopethrone
For those who don't know, this song is about Conan the Barbarian. I kid you not.
This is a very good, very slow doom song. Play very slowly!
The guitar is tuned to a friggen G, as well, so thats about 6 steps down
from normal tuning - if you need a guide to tuning, wholenote.com has one.
b = bend
If you have trouble bending an open note, just push upwards at
the very, very end of your guitar - the 0th fret, if you like.
If you want to, instead of bending it sounds fine just to do a
hammer-on - this might make the 0b1's easier.

This goes on for a while, then the whole thing is repeated.
As for strange popping sound effects in the background, i have no idea. ^_^

| Fucking awesome song! Love the riff at the last part... Wish someone could figure out what he said at the third line of the last verse though... I'm thinking, if this song is anything but a tribute to conan, could it be about society and how Electric Wizard percieves it as flawed? "Conan rules with an iron fist Many people, they look up to him" could be about the government, and how they're in control of everything. And while normal people like this, Electric Wizard would rather have it some other way "You think you're civilized, but you will never understand" Fits with the whole "Legalize drugs & Murder" theme throghout their music. But then again, this song is probably just written purely for its entertainment value, telling the story of Conan the barbarian. | |
