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!)
