Yes! The audio and video and are finally in sync :-)
This song from (arguably one of Megadeth's most commercially successful songs) Cryptic Writings, is often used as their opener in Concerts. Weird choice, huh?
Starts off with a really awesome intro; all the instruments come in one by one, which is followed by an awesomely catchy riff! Then verse, chorus, verse, chorus blah blah.. and then it gets interesting. The acoustic interlude that follows is my favourite part of this song by far, and maybe David Ellefson uses a pick to play it, but I thought fingers would suit it better, and hence played it that way. The solo comes next, which doesn't sound like much at first, but it really grew on me, and once it did, I started to appreciate the awesomeness of Marty Friedman's vibrato and bend technique. Then same old chorus fading out, and that's the song in a nutshell.
I've added some fills/variations, and about the interlude, well that's a section of this song open for interpretation really. I have no idea why the bass is turned down in that section, but this is my interpretation.
If you're looking for tabs, I recommend version 4 of the bass tab at www.ultimate-guitar.com. Most of my playing is pretty close to that tab, except the interlude, which had to be figured out by ear.
