Machine Head

Machine Head - Descend The Shades Of Night (solo) guitar tab

Machine Head – Descend The Shades Of Night (Solo)

Tabbed by Bloodtaster

P.M. = Palm Mute

/ = Slide Up

= Slide Down

^ = Pitch Bend

Tuning low to high: B, F#, B, E, G#, C#

I decided to have a go at tabbing this solo.

I think that most of it is right, but some of it is

guesswork, I’m not really a lead player.

Play at the end of the chorus
