Band: Machine Head
Song: Beneath The Silt
Album: Bloodstone And Diamonds (2014)
Tuning: Drop F# (Seven String) (F#, C#, 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)
############
####NOTE####
############
This song is played in Drop F# on a seven string guitar.
The first 6 string are tuned to C# standard (+40 cents sharper)
The 7th string is then tuned to an octave below the 5th (F#)
On a Korg tuner it would look something like this
Tuner:
50 x 50#
|--|--|--|--|-[-F#-]-|--|--|--|--|
The 'x' indicates where your tuning should be
Also comment, correct, and please, please rate!!!
