Its a Monster
by Extreme

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.
~= palm mute.

           ^^make squeak            ^^^^^^^^^^^ this is heavily palm muted  
             noise by sliding your
             hand on the strings

                         I think this is the voicing Nuno uses.
                         |  I use my thumb to fret the low E and mute the A.

      I am having extreme (no pun) problems figuring out this chord.
        if you can figure it out, let me know.

  Now start over.  The solo has a lot of muted pull offs :).
