Band: Machine Head
Song: Locust
Album: Unto The Locust (2011)
Tuning: Drop B (B, F#, B, E, G#, C#)
Thought I should do the full version of this tab, the others were lacking
parts here and there. Also I used video references from Machine Head's
Robb Flynn (the videos are linked below)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpJeHIuLmDE&feature=g-vrec&context=G24f48ebRVAAAAAAAAAA
Also, to settle the argument of what tuning MH play in, they play in
Drop B but then tuned up 40 cents sharper... So even though not possible
it's kind of like they're playing in Drop B# (Between Drop B and C)
On a Korg tuner it would look something like this
Tuner:
50♭ x 50#
|--|--|--|--|-[-B-]-|--|--|--|--|
The 'x' is where you want to be tuned to
I hope that helps anyway... xD
Also comment, correct, and please, please rate!!! This took me a while :)
