I'LL GET EVEN
[Megadeth - Cryptic Writings]

Recommended Tunings: Standard
*Option: Fretless Bass (if you can get one, try it out,
sounds really cool with mine)

Notes: Grooooove baby groove. Yea, that's the key to this song. Crank your bass up for
this one if your band knows it. There's nothing THAT hard about this song, tight playing
is really the biggest factor. Stick close to what the drummer is doing. Listen how tight
David and Nick are on the song. If possible, get a fretless bass and play the song. Those
slides sound really cool. You can kinda make the notes drag a bit if you have to and it
gives you an excuse NOT to play open strings. David doesn't use one but I do and it sounds
pretty darn cool.
