It's a Monster Guitar Tablature
Its a Monster
by Extreme

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.

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