Sick Riffs #25: In today's episode, CABAL guitarist Chris Kreutzfeldt is here to teach you how to play the riff to Tongues, a super-heavy three-minute onslaught from the band's latest album, Drag Me Down.
Kreutzfeldt plays the riff using an Aviator Baritone electric guitar running through a Peavey 5150 amp. His pedalboard consists of a Fortin 33 boost and Fortin Zuul noise gate.
"The coronavirus has affected us like everyone else in this world at this point, quarantined at home, and not allowed to go out," says Kreutzfeldt. "As musicians we depend on playing shows, to keep our band going, but everything is shut down now, so what we live and bleed for is pretty much gone right now."

“I played the tapped section on the demo almost as a joke, but my engineer said, ‘That has to be on the record!’” Tapping on a country album? Don't knock it ’til you’ve tried it, says Andy Wood
