Family Tree Megadeth
Track: Family Tree
Album: Youthanasia
Tuning: Eb
Notes: This song was actually tuned down to B Standard on the bass, because
Ellefson used 5-string basses. As I do not own a 5-string, I
thought I'd transcribe it for those who don't either. So, some notes will be off,
such as the intro, which did not come out the way I wanted
it to, since I had to make the notes lower than an Eb an octave higher. But
otherwise, this should be accurate.
