Fade To Black tab by Metallica
Guitar tabs
Fade To Black From "Ride the Lightning" by Metallica
-------------
NOTE: I’ve tried to include as much information below as is given in the
original tablature. It might make it more difficult to understand but it’s all
there if you want it. At the top of each section of tab is the chord for the
bar (bar lines included). I haven’t included note lengths or rests. You’ll have
to listen to the actual song and work them out for yourself. The bar lines
should give you an idea towards timing. The song’s in 4/4 time, 116 bpm.
All tab markings are at the top of the tab. Markings used:
P - pull off.
H - hammer on.
T - tap - fret at note shown, tap at note in brackets.
.---. - sustained note.
sl - slide.
vibrato - vibrate string. (or use tremolo).
) - bend and release
/
) - string bend (usually full - f)
/
// - repeat previous beat (used for 1/16 notes)
’/, - repeat previous measure (bar)
x - rake - drag pick across strings shown from low to high

Fade To Black tab
Metallica got a lot of fuzz about this song after it was released. It was their first ballad and many diehard fans got crazy about it. It starts off with an acoustic guitar and grows from there being heavier and heavier until the end. You can see that in the Metallica Fade to black tabs below. This formula has later been used on numerous Metallica songs.
Lars and James had a bad period when they wrote the song. Metallica's gear had been stolen and they had no place to live. These feelings ended up in this song about suicide thoughts and feelings. Many bands have covered the song including Apocalyptica and The Lemonheads. It is also featured in the Guitar Hero video game but these Metallica Fade to black guitar tabs are of course of regular six strings guitar.
