Hey, this is the tab for the new song Locust by Machine Head.
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

Harmonize during 5th and 6th time
