x-x
7-9

5-7

and you move that shit around. lol i haven't played guitar in ages. anyways neige uses the same form for his heavier, faster parts.
That's all Black Sabbath. You can hear it all over Corgan's
entire catalog. The octave chords with the droning notes, all Tony Iommi.

So much of his playing is 100% influenced by Sabbath. I know he's mentioned it in interviews before how they influenced him, but it still feels severely understated just how big of an influence on his style it has been.
