Band: Megadeth Song: Tornado of Souls Album: Rust in Peace Bassist: David Ellefson Tuning: Standard (E A D G) Tabbed by: JJJ I noticed the other tabs were incomplete and partly incorrect so I made one based on the original bass track which can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4lqNjX0AAw I tried to include all the little slides, rests, mute notes and slaps as well as convey the timing when possible. For some of the trickier parts I used an audio editor to loop the notes one by one in order to figure them out. It should all be pretty much correct but let me know if you find a mistake. 0:00 Intro |--|--------------------------------|------------------------------|

Can you create a video with you playing this music on your bass I can't understand the slaps :S slap on what string?? sorry my english I'm brasilian and I do not speak frequently
I could've been more clear about that. It's not a slap/pop type of slap. If you play with a pick, you just mute the strings with your picking hand palm so that it makes a little noise, like a dead note.
If you watch this part ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nubDFyArdI&t=2m3s ) and look at Ellefson's picking hand, you can see him doing this whenever he lifts his hand a little. It's basically there just to end the note. You don't really have to do it, you can just simply mute the string.
Hope this helps :)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ! it's just I do not use pick :D see ya
