Theme and Variation Drop B Metal Riff

So I discovered today that the Evil Twin himself Nick Cantanese has a guitar lesson at jamplay on how to play 'Funeral Bell' by Black Label Society. I was psyched to learn this so I grabbed my guitar and tuned down to match Nick with Drop B tuning down a half step. The tuning is monstrously heavy so I thought I'd take a minute and record a lick using the same tuning. Basically you tune down a half step and then drop your low E string to Bb. I recorded the guitar lick following the tab then threw in a couple variations for fun.
Hope you dig it.
