Not measured yet

TuneLit has not measured this record. The tuning comes from community sources, at concert pitch unless they say otherwise.

Three new studio songs produced by Kato Khandwala, plus two live tracks from the Hammersmith Apollo in London, November 2011. Not in TuneLit's library, so nothing here is measured; the tunings come from tabs.

    How to get there from E Standard: String 6 down a whole step (E → D); the other strings stay.

    Live recording; tuning taken from the studio version.

    The studio song's tabbed tuning (Drop D, riff on F at the 3rd fret). The live recording itself was not measured.

    The main tab is in E♭ Standard; two lightly used Ultimate Guitar transcriptions use E Standard.

    Notes

    The only full tab in E♭ is a machine transcription; a separate tab marked standard tuning plays the part a half step higher, for players who stay in E. Try both against the record.
