Biography:
Baroness is a metal band that plays an eclectic brand of sludge, embracing the ferocity and sharp technique of new-millennium metal but with melodic accents and intelligent guitar work that suggests the influence of sludge and post-metal bands.
Baroness formed in the Summer 2003 in Savannah, GA, United States with all members, past and present, hailing from Lexington, VA in the foothills of the mighty Blue Ridge Mountains. Maybe that’s where the band draws inspiration for their music

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Most of this song is going to be done using the Am and Fmaj7 chords. I would suggest playing the Fmaj7 chord
with your thumb on the 6th string, ring finger on the 5th string, pinky finger on the 4th string,
middle finger the 3rd string, and index finger on the 2nd string, letting the 1st string ring.
This allows for easy pull-offs and hammer-ons using the index finger.
Listen to the original song for the timing of the pull-offs/hammer-ons of the first fret of the B string.
They should happen twice per chord, on the 4 & of the count.
I'll have those parts listed as Asus2 and Fmaj7b5.
This repeats throughout the intro, choruses, verses, and sections labeled Bridge A. Bridge B has a very
different progression you can play with the same strumming pattern.
