MEGADETHS SONG: VORTEX
ALBUM: CRYPTIC WRITINGS
WELL HER IT IS FOLKS...
AFTER LOOKING ALL OVER THE INTERNET THEN BUYING THE TAB BOOK I FOUND NO CORRECT FORM OF THIS SONG..
I HAD TO SIT DOWN AND DO IT MYSELF....THIS IS HOW I PLAY IT AND IT SOUNDS CORRECT TO ME
THE INTERLUDE AND OUTRO RIFF SOUND DEAD NUTS RIGHT ON THE MONEY
