LESSONS - "solos2" Tablature

Ayeh Guitarists!
Since I'm bored lately, I thought I'd transcribe some other solo pieces
from Megadeth (Yes, again. It's their 'fault', not mine...)
Explanations: P - pull off
H - hammer on
B - bend
R - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
^ - upstroke (the pick moves towards the sky. "Pull")
v - downstroke (the pick moves towards the ground. "Push")
(5) - let ring the indicated note, but don't pick
BE CAREFUL WITH THE STROKE DIRECTION!!!
===================================
FIRST: A piece from the second solo of 99 Ways to Die
(Megadeth, The Beavis and Butt-head Experience)
Note: Very fast!!!

Watch out for the next part!
(Hope I can make enough money to buy a new electric guitar...
It's really hard to transcribe solos with a classic guitar!)
Send your opinions, questions, used guitars or even dislikes to:

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LESSONS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
