Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo Entertainment System)
"Castle theme"

Symbols used:
 h = hammer-on
 p = pull-off

Standard Tuning - (low to high) EADGBe

Theoretically, you could hammer-on and pull-off with your fretting hand (makes
a great practice exercise -- start slow!), but I prefer to tap the fretboard
with the pick instead. (I can play it faster that way, and it sort of gives it
that extra-spooky sound [at least on my setup].)


Lead:

(It looks hard, but each part actually follows some sort of pattern.)

...then hammer on 11 back at the beginning. Repeat until you beat Bowser.
