that mastodon uses? They have an extremely different sound than most, and its hard to differentiate.

I'll get you the tuning no sweat. At least the lowest note. I'll see about scales.

Edit: Alright. I used "March Of The Fire Ants" for the song. It sounds like Dropped A to me. That way you can let the rhythm ring while you play the leads for the intro. The scale is Double Harmonic Minor. The notes in the scale are A, Bb, C#, D, E, F, G#. So that means 1, b2, 3, 4, 5, b6, 7. Which means...


A |-0-1-4-5-7-8-11|
E |-0-1-4-5-7-8-11|
A |-0-1-4-5-7-8-11|

Intervals
1/2 - 1+1/2 - 1/2 - 1 - 1/2 - 1+1/2 - 1/2

If the scale's third degree isn't flattened, wouldn't that make it a major scale? You called it double harmonic MINOR but it has a major third? Not trying to piss you off ( ), just wondering.

It's not a minor scale, unless you start on the 4th interval or the 7th. For the record it's the "Double Harmonic" I think the author threw in "minor" by mistake.

Also, x2xAtreyux2x, your notes are correct, but your tab is wrong.

It should be:

E |-0-1-4-5-6-9-10|

intervals: 1,b2,3,4,5,b6,7
half-steps: 1-3-1-2-1-3-1
notes: A,Bb,C#,D,E,F,G#

EDIT: my bad your tab is right, drop A tuning power chords.

A |-0-1-4-5-7-8-11|
