Its a Monster

Tabbed by Scott Ettinger
Submitted by Ed Westberg (westberg@vuse.vanderbilt.edu)
Here is the way I play it: (admittedly not perfect...)
X= totally muted picking.
>= hammer on. (Are these what other people use ?)
<= pull off.
\= slide down.
^= vibrato.

I think this is the voicing Nuno uses.
