Notation : P.M. = palm mute, sl = slide, h = hammer on, p = pull-off
Notes: To get the correct rhythm, and to figure out what part gets played
where, I suggest you listen to the song. When I play this it sounds
best when played on the bridge pickup on my guitar. But thats just
my opinion. Ohh, almost forgot, I didnt type in the solo, if you want
it e-mail me, I might type that in too. I didnt have the time tonight.
This is the Seek and Destroy Solo. No one ever tabs out solo’s except
for a few but this one is right!
If anyone wants any of METALLICA’S solo’s from Kill em’ all,
Ride the Lightening, Master of puppets, or the Black Album just e-mail me at
[email protected]!
