Ayeh Guitarists!

Since I'm bored lately, I thought I'd transcribe some other solo pieces
from Megadeth (Yes, again. It's their 'fault', not mine...)

Explanations:  P - pull off
               H - hammer on
               B - bend
               R - release bend
               / - slide up
               \ - slide down
               ^ - upstroke (the pick moves towards the sky. "Pull")
               v - downstroke (the pick moves towards the ground. "Push")
             (5) - let ring the indicated note, but don't pick

BE CAREFUL WITH THE STROKE DIRECTION!!!

===================================

FIRST: A piece from the second solo of 99 Ways to Die 
      (Megadeth, The Beavis and Butt-head Experience)

Watch out for the next part!
(Hope I can make enough money to buy a new electric guitar...
It's really hard to transcribe solos with a classic guitar!)
