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

Note: Very fast!!!

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!)
