Chord/Tab song: Old

Chord,Tablature, lyric, sheet, guitar, ukulele song: Old - ( Old by Machine Head Notation: nh - natural harmonic ah ...)

Old by Machine Head

Notation:

nh - natural harmonic
ah - artifical harmonic or pinch harmonic (same thing)
~ - virbrato
p - pull off
/ - slide up these are used for normal
\ - slide down and ghost note slides

I 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] [-] [E]
[2] [-] [B]
[3]4 [-]- [G]C# <---- Notice I know it's weird but trust me, this is it.
[5] [-] [A]
[6] [-] [D]
In addition, tune all strings a 1/4 of a step lower to match the album.

The nh (natural harmonic) slide thing starts at about 1.5 on the
fretboard.
These notes are played as sixtuplets. These means in one beat there are

six notes played.
