Artist: Megadeth
Song: The Scorpion
Album: The System Has Failed
Tabbed by: Jason Shank
I've had this song figured out for a while, but finally decided to sit down and tab it out.
It should be about 99.999999% right. This is, in my opinion, the best song on TSHF.
Legend:
Palm mute *
String mute X
Hammer on h
Pull off p
Vibrato ~
Slide up /
Slide down \
Harmonic ^
Repeat riff :
Intro Riff 1: Gtr. 1 (played through entire intro until verse)
