The powertab I used can be found here:

@bluelightx17 I don't know, I'm kind of busy right now. Maybe later. Cool! :)

[theexpendable11]

is the low E in drop D or no?

[SwedishBerzerker]

@theexpendable11 Megadeth used standard E on all records of the old days except for "Peace Sells", but that one was downtuned 1/4 of a step. So yeah, it's in standard E.

Awesome fuckin cover dude, basically spot on. Just the tone was a bit off :/ good job though :D just constructive criticism .

[SwedishBerzerker]

@Mofran56 Thanks! I never aim to duplicate the tone. What's the point? It's impossible to get the same tone unless you have the same amplifier or an amplifier with the same tubes and cabinet.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@MrSteelers7391 It's a pretty epic song, but I still think Megadeth's most intense songs are Black Friday and Loved To Deth. Seriously, you've got to check Loved to Deth out, it's a shame they never play it live. Truly an underrated gem. R.I.P. Gar.

[SwedishBerzerker]

@TheOzzybrass And that's coming from you? I know where the strings are, I look at the fretboard because they switch positions a lot. Blaming the camera? You're going to have to refresh my memory a bit. Are you saying it's entertaining to watch me play? Isn't that part of the whole purpose? You're so full of bullshit, man.
