info_outlineYouTube Video: https://youtu.be/SM_3JvTR55k
In this doom metal guitar lesson I teach you the entire rhythm section from Dragonaut by Sleep. The song is broken down into its main riffs, each demonstrated and explained in full detail. C Standard Tuning: C-F-A#-D#-G-C
The song begins with the classic intro riff in the key of F Minor and utilizes the F Minor Pentatonic Scale {R, b3, p4, p5, b7} before modulating down to the key of C Minor. The remainder of the song's riffs utilize elements from the C Blues Scale {R, b3, p4, b5, p5, b7}.
