Now We Die Tab

by Machine Head
16,600 views, added to favorites 164 times
Difficulty: advanced
Tuning: B F# B E G# C#
Capo: no capo
Author slipknot836 [pro] 1,849. Last edit on Sep 30, 2014
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.

Update: 30/09/14
 
Changed the triples in the beginning, A became A#, C became C#
Also changed the tapping in the solo as it was iffy in places

The tab is very good, but if you add the palm mutes it will be even better!
