Ego Brain Guitar Tablature
System Of A Down - Ego Brain

This is an excellent song you can find on 'Steal This Album!'.  This tab 
is just new and I was just hoping to put a basis up so some other fellas
could possibly fix it up a bit, but here goes.  By the way if you don't
already know, system of a down play in drop C, meaning from low to high
your string notes are as follows.  C G C F A D.  Remember this song is
in a compound time signature so most of the rhythms here can be broken
down into threes.  Oh yeah and if you're not that experienced with reading
tab, the '/' means slide, 'h' means hammer on, and 'p' means pull off, I'm
fairly sure they're the only symbols I used in this tab.
