SONG: HANGAR 18 ARTIST: MEGADETH ALBUM: RUST IN PEACE TABBED BY:GARETH RICHARDS EMAIL: jackslackofsurprise@hotmail.com this one's a beauty! if you can pull this one off everyone will be impressed! this is another example of how dave ellefson is a subtle and under rated bass genius. it's in drop D tuning which doesn't often make things easier but this time it does. for the verse riff i'm going to contract my notation so it will look sixteenths but it's really eights to save on space. 4/4 x 15 G---------------------------||----------------------------------|| D*-------------------------*||-12--12--12--12---12--12--12--12--|| A*-------------------------*||----------------------------------|| D--0--0--0--0---0--0--0--0--||----------------------------------|| e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e

( 3 )
the zero that i've written in after the 5-4 in the nasty riff should
really be a 2 so that it matches up with the notes played by the guitars
but it's so fast and low pitched that it really doesn't matter too much
if you play 0 or 2 so long as the rhythm is tight.
ALTERNATE BETWEEN NASTY RIFF 2 AND 3 TIL THE
END
then...
hold for drum cue

and relax, get yourself a pint.
