Blackened by Metallica
Transcription by Jeff Davis (4th revision)

Notation:
. - palm mute
h - hammer on
p - pull off
! - I used these to glue the dots to the page. Huh? (just ignore them).
s/ - slide up      these are used for normal
s             and ghost slides
\ - slide down

In general I tried to keep one dash '-' equal to a thirty-second note.
Thus,
|-0---0---0---0---  are eight notes and

🎸

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-  are sixteenth notes.

E||--                     -||
B||--                     -||
G||*-   These mark the beginning and the   *||
D||*-   end of a section to be repeated.   *||
A||--                     -||
E||--                     _||

 --------|--------
 --------|--------
 --------|-3------
 --------|-1------
 ---1---^|(1)----- <--- this means the 1 should ring out in to the
 --------|--------    next measure while the 1 and 3 are played

My transcription strictly notates the rhythm guitar for this song.
The intro and solo are tabbed below my transcription.
They were tabbed below by Matt Holliman bu345@cleveland.Freenet.Edu) and

Vassilis Tzerpos (bpatr@theseas.ntua.gr) respectively.
(addendum: In my second revision I tabbed my own version of
        the harmonies in the beginning of the solo.
