Take No Prisoners by Megadeth
TAB`d out by Frank A. Taylor - mork@oceana.sdsc.edu
I`ve seen a few requests for this so I thought I would TAB it for you lucky,
lucky people :) If ya see any mistakes or stuff then please let me know so I
can fix it! Or please drop me a line to say if the TAB was helpful - makes me
feel that my time typing it out was worthwhile! I have a lot of TAB that I can
type out that I`ll do if you ask nicely :-) Remember to contribute some TAB if
you can - enjoy!

You can use the basic two note power chords you just played to do the rhythm
for this part. This is what I play :)

h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
> - Bend. The number following the > is an indication of hoo far to bend the
string. So, 17 > 19 would mean to bend the 17th fret until the note sounds
like the note normally played on 19th fret...that is one whole tone. If I
have 16 > 17 > 16 > 17 or something similar - you bend 16th fret one half
tone and then back to 16th and then again to 17th etc....
~ - Vibrato. Shake the string gently!
X - Percussive tone with no pitch. You can dampen the strings with your left
or right hand and when you pick a note or strum a chord...No notes are
heard but you can hear the percussive sound...Hey! Just in case you didn`t
know :)
/ - Slide up. Slide from one fret to another. If no fret is given before the /
then slide up from an indefinite point to that fret. Equally if no fret is
given after the / then slide off the fretboard.
\ - Slide down. Same as slide up but....wait for it! You slide..DOWN! :-)
P.M. - Palm Mute. Muting the strings with the palm of your pick hand.
Okay I`ve explained more than you need to know! If you don`t know what a pick
slide is or a rake then my guess is that you wouldn`t be able to play this song
anyways *whee*

Take No Prisoners by Megadeth
TAB`d out by Frank A. Taylor - mork@oceana.sdsc.edu
I`ve seen a few requests for this so I thought I would TAB it for you lucky,
lucky people :) If ya see any mistakes or stuff then please let me know so I
can fix it! Or please drop me a line to say if the TAB was helpful - makes me
feel that my time typing it out was worthwhile! I have a lot of TAB that I can
type out that I`ll do if you ask nicely :-) Remember to contribute some TAB if
you can - enjoy!

TAB help
h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
> - Bend. The number following the > is an indication of hoo far to bend the
string. So, 17 > 19 would mean to bend the 17th fret until the note sounds
like the note normally played on 19th fret...that is one whole tone. If I
have 16 > 17 > 16 > 17 or something similar - you bend 16th fret one half
tone and then back to 16th and then again to 17th etc....
~ - Vibrato. Shake the string gently!
X - Percussive tone with no pitch. You can dampen the strings with your left
or right hand and when you pick a note or strum a chord...No notes are
heard but you can hear the percussive sound...Hey! Just in case you didn`t
know :)
/ - Slide up. Slide from one fret to another. If no fret is given before the /
then slide up from an indefinite point to that fret. Equally if no fret is
given after the / then slide off the fretboard.
\ - Slide down. Same as slide up but....wait for it! You slide..DOWN! :-)
P.M. - Palm Mute. Muting the strings with the palm of your pick hand.
Okay I`ve explained more than you need to know! If you don`t know what a pick
slide is or a rake then my guess is that you wouldn`t be able to play this song
anyways *whee*
