The Metallica Remains

Band: Metallica
(originally by Blitzkrieg)

Transcribed by Jeff Jacobson

Tabbed by Vassilis Tzerpos

This time the explanations come first.

s=slide ^=bend

ss=slide backwards many frets r=release bend

p=pull-off []=artificial harmonic

h=hammer-on x=dumped string

Timing is exact with 8th = 2'-'s except for the solo where 8th = 4'-'s.

The song is in 4/4 but has some measures of 2/4, so some measures

seem shorter than the others. Beware of fret numbers like 12121212.

They don't mean you have to have a very long guitar. They represent

four 16th notes played on the 12th fret. In such cases always take

digits in pairs.Finally, all power chords used are the lower ones

you can have.

Now the song itself:

CODA (solo)

For the solo the backing guitar plays power chords which are indicated

above the solo line in single line "tab". Simultaneous guitars have joined

bars. The timing is now different in order to be able to transcribe it

correctly. 8ths = 4'-'s.

Triads are indicated like this: ___3___ or ___ ___

Now comes the tricky part where you have to use delay effect,

harmonics and a lot of tremolo part. I'll just notate only where

you should fret. Harmonics = <12>. From now on to the end of the song

timing is again 8th = 2'-'s. Backing guitar continues. Tempo slows down.

Back to the original tempo, and for a while we have three guitars

playing at the same time. Backing guitar plays single notes.
