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
SECOND: A piece from Skin o' my Teeth
(Megadeth, Countdown to Extinction)
Note: Play triplets!

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!)
