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
