Old by Machine HeadNotation:nh - natural harmonicah - artifical harmonic or pinch harmonic (same thing)~ - virbratop - pull off/ - slide up these are used for normal\ - slide down and ghost note slidesI have written the beat numbers under the notes on the down beats.In general I tried to keep one dash '-' equal to a thirty-second note.Thus,|-2---2---2---2--- are eight notes and |-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2- are sixteenth notes.Tuning:1 - E2 - B3 - G4 - C# <---- *Notice* I know it's weird but trust me, this is it.5 - A6 - DIn addition, tune all strings a 1/4 of a step lower to match the album.OOO L D DO O L D DO O L D DOOO LLLL D D(Bar Dive + Pick Scr*pes) (Lower and then raise bar) (Tap bar)|-------------------------------------/~~~~~~~~--------------------------|
