SONG:   SKIN O' MY TEETH
ARTIST: MEGADETH 
ALBUM:  COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION
REASON?:COS IT'S MEGADETH!

Opening song of the album, cracker to warm up to. i'm going to transcribe
it for a five string cos it's got that extra low fat D in the chorus that
just sounds sooo good.
 
drum intro, then:

these are the riffs in the song. i'm at work so i don't have access to
either my guitar or the song so i can't remember the order entirely. i
may have missed some bits but i hope it's useful.

cheers, gareth
