SONG: TRANSFORMERS THE MOVIE THEME SONG (80s Metal Style)
ARTIST: N.R.G.
TABBED BY: TYSON CLINE
The song is tuned down half a step on the recording but I have
tabbed it in standard tuning. Feel free to tune down and
rearrange the notes and chords to fit with the half-step down.
This is mostly just the rhythm in the song.
x mute
/ slide up
(The drums start up)
I have no idea how the quick solo build up is played, its
probably some tapping but I dont even know where to begin.
INTRO RIFF:
Starts right after it says "Transformerrrrrrrrrrrrr...."

several times. If you can do it better, go ahead.
