Asilos Magdalena Tab

by Mars Volta


Asilos Magdalena by the Mars Volta


That song is played on an acoustic guitar and it's not so hard to play. There are
mostly appreggios.
There are some extra riffs in the second verse and the outro. However, I didn't tab them.
Just like the intro with the weird effects.^^ But I will do the extra riffs when I've got
enough time.
well, that's my first tab. Enjoy!
