Band: Machine Head
Song: Now We Die
Album: Bloodstone & 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#
|--|--|--|--|-[-B-]-|--|--|--|--|
The 'x' indicates where your tuning should be
Also comment, correct, and please, please rate!!!
I have Bloodstone & Diamonds on Pre-order so expect another Machine Head
full album tab during the week of release!
I use Audipo for Android to slow down my tracks so I can hear the
closely placed notes such as in the main riff and the solo.
The quality diminishes if slowed down too much but the pitch stays
the same. I would highly recommend it.
