The Druid Ver 1 by Sleep
Sleep - The Druid ver 1 guitar tab
Sleep - The Druid …on… Sleep’s Holy Mountain (Earache Records)
*(newly improved tab by me)*
This is a great song by a great band, largely instrumental, so for your pleasure I have transcribed the bass break, because I cant work out the guitar solo for definite. I think its largely random anyway, but the best thing to do is LOTS of random speed-shredding with many arpeggios which are definitely on record. You may also want to see my Dragonaut tab if you haven’t already.

*Guitar solo* (one thing matt pike does is put the bass break in trebled note form,
its easy you can work it out)
After many bars, at the end of the solo, we reach an edited bass break in guitar form use the rhythm of it
