Hello all MDB fans! I wanted to make a contribution to The 's Metal
Community and i figured a tab would do the trick. This is my favorite MDB
tune and when i decided to learn it i was shocked and appalled by the only
"For You" tab available. It's horrendous!! This tab is much better and
didn't mess anything up. I won't bother with tabbing out palm muting when
it's
a simple song like this, you should easily be able to hear it for yourself.
As far as this riff goes, i slide from note to note because i think
it sounds better and fits the tone of the song. Im not sure if that
is how it is actually played. I leave the decision up to you...
