Sail Into The Black Tab

by Machine Head
8,760 views, added to favorites 130 times
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: B F# B E G# C#
Capo: no capo
Author slipknot836 [pro] 1,849. Last edit on Nov 7, 2014
Band:   Machine Head
Song:   Sail Into The Black
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#
|--|--|--|--|-[-B-]-|--|--|--|--|
 
The 'x' indicates where your tuning should be
 
Also comment, correct, and please, please rate!!!

congrats, great tab! really good work here!!! learned from it, tweeked some parts, transposed it to 7 string guitar (usually I play with 7 string) and here is the result www.youtube.com/watch?v=Asu4eqNtMT4 hope it's useful for others that play with 7 strings and want to learn it from an already transposed version.
