this one's a beauty! if you can pull this one off everyone will be

impressed! this is another example of how dave ellefson is a subtle and

under rated bass genius. it's in drop D tuning which doesn't often make

things easier but this time it does. for the verse riff i'm going to

contract my notation so it will look sixteenths but it's really eights to

save on space.

4/4 x 15

( 3 )

the zero that i've written in after the 5-4 in the nasty riff should

really be a 2 so that it matches up with the notes played by the guitars

but it's so fast and low pitched that it really doesn't matter too much

if you play 0 or 2 so long as the rhythm is tight.

ALTERNATE BETWEEN NASTY RIFF 2 AND 3 TIL THE

END

then...

hold for drum cue
