Kyuss plays in C standard tuning but I tabbed this out in E standard. Im pretty sure this
is all right.
Also, turn the lows way up and the highs down to get the right kind of sound.
^ = Hammer On/Pull Off
/ = Slide Up
= Slide down
() = Optional note

**These breakdowns you can play as they are shown or you can play the corresponding
notes in time with kick drum. Both ways sound fine. Personal preference comes into play.**

Kyuss (pronounced /?ka?.?s/ KYE-?s) was an influential American stoner rock/metal band, originally from Palm Desert, California. After forming in the late 1980s and releasing an EP under the name Sons of Kyuss in 1990, the band shortened its name to Kyuss. Over the next five years the band released four full-length albums before splitting up in 1995.
