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 :) Guitar 1: Robb Flynn Guitar 2: Phil Demmel Tabbing Legend Hammer on: h Pull off: p Slide up: / Slide down: \ Natural Harmonic: NH Slight Return Bend: ^ Bend: BU(?)
