Jeff Beck - Hammerhead

Tabbed by Harry Grassom, performed by Jeff Beck on Emotion and Commotion. If you find any errors or improvements email harry.ipodtouch@googlemail.com For the most authentic 'Jeff sound', play with high gain and treble, low mid and medium bass. Use a short (approx 30.0ms) delay with low feedback and level, with an overdrive stomp and touch of reverb. Play on the neck pickup with low tones and use the volume knob to control gain. I believe Jeff plays it in Drop D tuning, which adds a bit of heaviness, meaning you can play an octave of both open D strings in the main riff. The intro is played with a wah pedal and is different every time Jeff plays it, but revolves around all the notes tabbed below for the remainder of the song. This tab starts at 0:38 of the album track.
