Megadeth - My Last Words Bass guitar tab
Song: My Last Words
By: Megadeth
Album: Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?
First off, I want to give credit to Ryan B. for tabbing this out. I've added some notes
taken some out from his version (based on what I could hear in the song). For the most
I believe this is pretty accurate. This is a really awesome song. Enjoy!
h : hammer-on
p : pull-off
(H): Hold note
(tp): tremelo pick (keep hitting the same note over and over until it
changes, since it's a bit difficult to hear exactly how many times David
actually picks the notes (at least for me)).
One more note, I'm going to use a " : " for a bit of a timing thing and to
represent where rifts change through the song (Especially in the intro so it will be a
easier to understand).
