LUCIFORMS - The Mars Volta
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Steve Dubuque
Email: sdubuque_vp@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard, but at 448Hz (as oppose to the normal 440Hz)
E A D G B E
Use a calibrated tuner to set calibration at 448Hz; if
you want to get the EXACT pitch of the song, that is.
Regular tuning will work fine for most people, but the
sensitive ear will notice it sounds slightly off.
