Methusela Tab

Artist : Smashing Pumpkins Release: No Official Release (MCIS Demo) Author : Iain Strong Tuning : Eb This is an atmospheric Mellon Collie demo which, surprisingly, never even made it onto the B-Side of a Pumpkins single. It is easy enough to play, since it follows three distinct patterns which are repeated twice. Here goes...
