*just playing the chorus and verse, I didn’t learn the whole song really just wanted to show the Machine gun picking and how you can have your pinky finger anchored and it doesn’t mess up your playing. I played on a hardtail, I may learn the whole song and post later, I’m guessing on some of the notes and phrasing and I made mistakes but oh well…I don’t look very tense, so to all beginners it is possible, D Standard tuning with Elixir 10/52 strings.

A lot of great players anchor to the guitar… John Petrucci and Michael Angelo Batio to mention a couple. I think it’s really all what you feel comfortable with.
Great playing, I love that song.
Thanks David,
there was a guy asking on the forum about anchoring the pinky and I have always done it so hopefully he sees it, I may spend more time to figure out the beginning of song but the solo may be out LOL, I just watched Kiko play it and recorded it on my iPhone 8 plus, some mistakes but I was happy with it. thanks again…Steve
I don’t think this is breaking any rules, if so… oopsies. @Giorgio, please delete if the following link is an issue.
This site: Elton Tabs is a good place to get Megadeth tab’s. I think you and others may find it useful. 
thanks David!!!
FYI the 52 Gauge string makes it easier to alternate pick the verse’s because the tension on the string is greater than the tension on a 42 or a 46…
Cool!
. Sounds great!
