Transcribed and tabbed by Marcel Quarti Cricúma/SC/Brazil


This is one of my Marty favourites. When you play Marty's music, there's a couple of rules that make you sound just like him (except buying his exact gear).
1) Bend notes from weird places like in the second bar of this song.
2) Use huge vibrato, as Marty says, "make the notes cry".  
3) Hit the crap out of yer guitar.

Those are the basic Marty-isms :^p . Enjoy this tab...
