My Friend Of Misery Tab by Metallica

My Friend Of Misery tab by Metallica (Ver. 2)

Guitar Tab

I tabed this out by myself (I also used tabs from other guys :D) So have fun
learning it ;) (btw. I left Krik Hammets Solo at the end out because I
havent figured out how to play it yet :D)

PS: Please note this is my first tab ;)

This is an alternative way to play the bass intro on guitar ;)

Note:
This is a special Part.
You have to play it like this:
You hit the note and then turn the Volume on your guitar up then turn it
down hit the next note and so on :)
You can also use an effect or volume pedal for this ;)
