Megadeth - Cryptic Writings Bass Tab for She-Wolf Transcribed by Mark Smeets Email: msmeets@ibm.net http://www.smartt.com/~jsmeets/stranger/Front.htm Notes: Well, if you think you have great chops, guess again. Learn this rythm well. It isn't as difficult as it seems, just takes a bit of concentration. I recommend using a pick unless you really want to try and make this into a finger busting workout. The key to this song is to relax your right hand, it may be a short song but it's gonna seem like forever when your playing. You should definetly start out with a pick so you can hear the rythm your playing more clearly. Keep your playing Tight and also listen to nick's drums so you can do some kickin' right hand fills.
