System Of A Down - Ego Brain This is an excellent song you can find on 'Steal This Album!'. This tab is just new and I was just hoping to put a basis up so some other fellas could possibly fix it up a bit, but here goes. By the way if you don't already know, system of a down play in drop C, meaning from low to high your string notes are as follows. C G C F A D. Remember this song is in a compound time signature so most of the rhythms here can be broken down into threes. Oh yeah and if you're not that experienced with reading tab, the '/' means slide, 'h' means hammer on, and 'p' means pull off, I'm fairly sure they're the only symbols I used in this tab.
