{t:Looking Down the Cross}
 {st:Megadeth}
 
 Band- Megadeth
 Song- Looking Down The Cross
 
 Tuning: 1/4 step down
 
 NOTE: For the intro, let the notes on the high 'e' and
 low 'E' strings ring while you tap the harmonics.
 To fret the notes, either use your thumb to come over and
 fret the note on the low 'E', or do an overhand technique
 and use your index and middle finger on the low 'E' and
 high 'e', respectively. Then finger pick the two strings,
 using your middle finger to tap the harmonic.
 
 To do the harmonic, you tap the fretwire over the 24th fret,
 similar to The Conjuring intro. You don't need a 24th
 fret to do this either, just tap the string down where the
 24th fret would be, you should get the same effect.
