Band: Megadeth Song: Tornado of Souls Album: Rust in Peace Bassist: David Ellefson Tuning: Standard (E A D G) Tabbed by: JJJ I noticed the other tabs were incomplete and partly incorrect so I made one based on the original bass track which can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4lqNjX0AAw I tried to include all the little slides, rests, mute notes and slaps as well as convey the timing when possible. For some of the trickier parts I used an audio editor to loop the notes one by one in order to figure them out. It should all be pretty much correct but let me know if you find a mistake. 0:00 Intro |--|--------------------------------|------------------------------|
