MACHINE HEAD - "davidian3" Tablature
Official MACHINE HEAD Tablature & Sheet Music »

Tuning:
This song is a bit different from other's because it isn't exactly tuned right.
I only figured this out after reading an article where Rob Flynn explained this.
The tuning is lower than a "dropped C" but higher than a "dropped B" tuning.
I find the best way to get the correct tuning is use the first note of the song
to tune the low E string. Then using the low E string tune the other strings.
Notation:
* = harmonics
p.m. = palm mute
*This tab is not complete, but it should be more than enough to get you started.
And, for the song pattern, just use the riffs and listen to the song to figure it out.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official MACHINE HEAD tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
