Good song...yes
think this is the right tuning...cus i remember an article in guitarworld..
talkin about them tuning to G# for the new album..so there 

 Artist: Deftones
Song: Minerva
Tuning: Db,Ab,Db,Gb,Bb,Eb

Note:  Each chord is part of a sixteenth note.  So a “x16” implies to strum that
chord for one measure in 4/4 time.  Also, see the song order at the bottom of
this tab to fit these pieces together.
