Hammerhead by Jeff Beck
Hammerhead
Tuning:D A D G B E
Capo:no capo
For the most authentic 'Jeff sound', play with high gain and treble, low mid
and medium bass. Use a short (approx 30.0ms) delay with low feedback and level,
with an overdrive stomp and touch of reverb. Play on the neck pickup with low tones
and use the volume knob to control gain.
I believe Jeff plays it in Drop D tuning, which adds a bit of heaviness, meaning you
can play an octave of both open D strings in the main riff.
The intro is played with a wah pedal and is different every time Jeff plays it, but
revolves around all the notes tabbed below for the remainder of the song. This tab
starts at 0:38 of the album track.
