Stop being bad at playing Megadeth classics.

If you've ever picked up a guitar and are into metal, there's a good chance you've tried to learn Megadeth's classic "Holy Wars… The Punishment Due." According to Dave Mustaine, you've also been playing the riff slightly wrong.

Someone took to Twitter to thank Dave for the song with a tab, and Dave pointed out that the last phrase is wrong. Going into the E power chord, it should be G and then A, not A and then G (or 3, 5, 0 on the low E, as opposed to the 5, 3, 0 in the tab).

So go get relearnin'!
