Comments: It occured to me while tabbing this that I needed to point something
out- when I refer to "Guitar 1" or "Guitar 2", it has nothing to do with one
guitar having left or right channel, or in the case of a band, in this case
Megadeth (so we'll go with guys who were IN Megadeth), one guitar being Dave's
or the other being Jeff's. I merely say guitar 1 and guitar 2 when a riff or
figure is multi-layered, so you know one guitar is playing one part and one is
playing the other. "Guitar 1" is just the part I get around to tabbing first.
Anyhow, I was playing with this song, and I decided to tab it. There are other
tabs out there for this song, I just feel this one is much more correct and at
the very least I'm sure it's more complete. If you see anything that looks
funny, let me know so I can fix it up for you. Later.
