Band: Machine Head
Song: Night of Long Knives
Album: Bloodstone And Diamonds (2014)
Tuning: Drop B (B, F#, B, E, G#, C#)
Machine Head don't play in Drop B precisely... They are tuned to
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#
