No capo


Machine Head don't play in C# standard precisely... They are tuned to
C# Standard but then tuned up 40 cents sharper

On a Korg tuner it would look something like this

Tuner:
50                            x  50#
|--|--|--|--|-[-C#-]-|--|--|--|--|

The 'x' is where you want to be tuned to
I hope that helps anyway... xD

Also comment, correct, and please, please rate!!!

On further note... Look forward to the other songs from Unto The Locust!
I plan to put them here as soon as I've figured them out
