Ethereal
by High on Fire
from Death is this Communion
Tabbed by Willothius.
[One of the first things I tabbed, since so few HoF tabs are available.
Some of the fills are quite difficult to hear/play, but watch the timing of the slides
and you'll find that it comes veeeery close to what M.Pike does... ]
