                        This Day We Fight! - Megadeth
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Chris Rizzo 


Tuning: Standard. The whole album is in standard according to Dave M.

Special Notes: There is a lot of fast tremolo picking in this song. 


Riff 1: 

Fast trem picking required. With Ver 2 I've made 
some changes to this which I think make them more accurate.

Riff 3: Pre Chorus 

** VERB ON #1 EABE R & how it seems to be played on the recording **

Instead of tremelo picking like mad, this one uses pull offs and hammer ons, 
and is what I hear played on the album when slowed down. For the version I 
play because it's harder, more fun, and to me sounds a bit better see below.

Riff 3: Pre Chorus 

** VERB ON #2 SUPER HARD **

This requires very fast relentless tremolo picking. No resting or pausing 
between notes. This is particularly hard when doing the string skips. Be 
sure to strike the notes on the 7th fret strongly to accent.
