Megadeth: Looking Down The Cross transcribed by: Russ Elton (webmaster@abysslord.com) solos by: Richard Hinks (livingzombie@gmail.com) edited by: Jordan Baker PLEASE DO NOT COPY THIS TAB TO ANOTHER SITE WITHOUT AUTHORS' PERMISSION. THANK YOU! Date last modified: January 14, 2007 Find more Megadeth tabs, including the most updated version of this tab, at: The Vault of Deth: The Ultimate Megadeth Guitar Tab Collection http://abysslord.com/megadeth/ Tuning: 1/4 step down NOTE: For the intro, let the notes on the high 'e' and low 'E' strings ring while you tap the harmonics. To fret the notes, either use your thumb to come over and fret the note on the low 'E', or do an overhand technique and use your index and middle finger on the low 'E' and high 'e', respectively. Then finger pick the two strings, using your middle finger to tap the harmonic. To do the harmonic, you tap the fretwire over the 24th fret. You don't need a 24th fret to do this, just tap the string down where the 24th fret would be, you should get the same effect.
