Hey, this is the tab for the song Locust by Machine Head. It's the advance mix version they released as a single before the album 'Unto the Locust' which isn't released yet while I'm typing this :) I did the main riffs and tabbed only what I play when I play along with the track. Tuning is drop B but I think you have to go a half semi-tone up so you're in between drop B and drop C, sounds a bit better C#|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G#|---------------------------------------------------------------------| E |---------------------------------------------------------------------| B |0---0---0---0-2---3-0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0-----0---0---0--| F#|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B |--0---0---0-----0-----0---0---0---0---2---2---2---7---8-5---5---5---5| X6 !Clean!
