Megadeth

The first thing you hear is a slide, on beat four, as a pickup: I'll separate these into measures. There isn't too much variation in this song, but please play it up here on the fretboard, it's so much cleaner!!!

When he makes the kissing noise, then you know you're through. That's the whole song, simple enough? I'm not saying this is the only way to play it, but I've found few sounds that come close to that of David Ellefson's mean tone and supportive, yet driving bass lines. I feel that this is as close a representation. [email protected]
