/n = bend to number (n)
^ = 1/2 bend or pre-bend
I looked at the other versions of Psycho and found that most had obvious errors in them.
I believe this version to be completely correct except for slight misinterpretations in
the solo. Listen for timing and rhythm, mate. System of a Down kicks arse!

Solo - It's simple yet complicated with many bends and plenty of vibrato. It will take
much listening to get the number of notes and vibrato right. Be sure to use reverb and/or
other effects.

That there is one quality tab for Sytem's Psycho. Once you nail the solo, this song is
really fun to play and never gets old. Since I'm a huge System fan, I hope to tab some
more of their songs soon on this site. Click my name above (deftones17) to see more tabs
I've done and don't forget to rate/comment!!! Cheers!
