In Comes The Flood Tab by Machine Head

In Comes The Flood tab by Machine Head

Guitar Tab

Band:   Machine Head
Song:   In Comes The Flood
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#
