Vikingland by Satyricon Song:Vikingland Artist:Satyricon Album:The Shadowthrone Tabbed by:Asbeel@hotmail.com Pretty staightforward song ... at first listen !! If your a crazy perfectionist like me you will notice some strange grooves in the middle and at the end . There seems to be no real pattern , but have no fear I will do It all because , yes , I am that much of a guitar nazi . Some stuff you may prefer to play on the G string ( tremelo riffs ) but I have It on d because I prefer the tone , no other reason . Whatever tickles your pickle .... Here we go .
