ptabThe Skull Beneath The SkinMegadeth.Killing Is My Business...And Business Is Good! Dave Mustaine Dave MustaineMegadethLRuss Elton (webmaster@abysslord.com), (livingzombie@gmail.com), Jordan Bakerhttp://abysslord.comThis song is tuned down a 1/4th step. You can't get this tuning in powertab so if you play the MIDI along with the song it'll sound terrible. Obviously the intro is arranged to try and match the recording speed but in reality it's a just free time speed up. The ending lick of the main solo, bars 50-51, seems like it's played differently live. Dave's hand is in a barre position and it looks like the lick is played on just two strings, but for the studio it's a three string pattern. Also, on the original studio recording the D bend just fades out, but on the remix/remaster edition and when it's played live it is held as shown in the tab. The final solo starts with a bass lick, then guitar comes in. The slide down at the end of the song has a higher pitch along with it for the first three beats, he's probably picking up noise from hitting the pick-up. I've just put the regular notes though.CGuitar Rhythm Guitarh@Standard@;72-( Lead Guitarh@Standard@;72-( Lead Guitarh@Standard@;72-( CFloatingTextPlease read performance notes.cG5ZTimes New Roman "All guitars tuned 1/4th step down.\Times New Roman Bass plays intro to solo.RTimes New Roman   CGuitarIn            CTempoMarker@ P d x  x       Double Time FeelCDynamicNCSection2 $QAIntro CChordTextCStaff'0 CPosition+  CLineDataE.+ @0$.+ @0.+@0.+@0.+!
