Asilos Magdalena (ver3) Tab - The Mars Volta






Asilos Magdalena by the Mars Volta

tabbed by: mikedapike

That song is played on an acoustic guitar and it's not so hard to play. There are mostly appreggios.
There are some extra riffs in the second verse and the outro. However, I didn't tab them.
Just like the intro with the weird effects.^^ But I will do the extra riffs when I've got
enough time.
well, that's my first tab. Enjoy!
