Might be better to give you an example. Being the kind chap that I am, here goes:
Code:
|-15-14-15-12-15-10-15----15----15----15----15-----|
|----------------------13----12--------------------|
|----------------------------------14----12----11~-|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------|
The "15" in the above example is the pedal tone. It also forms the basis of many thrash and melodic death style riffs, eg:
Code:
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|----7---8---7---8---10-8-7---|
|-000-000-000-000-000-----10~-|
This time the open "0" is the pedal tone.
Hope that helps.
