This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

as performed by Metallica on Live Shit: Binge and Purge

Jason starts this during his solo on the Mexico City disk, then Kirk

walks in and starts playing.

bass notes: The intro riff is played through most of the piece,

along with the variation, it doesn't matter which.

The seond riff is played more than the twice showed here

but it still ends on the 'A'.

guitar notes: A Floyd Rose trem (or at least a Kaehler) is a must!!

Kirk plays this using a wah-wah. Almost every note

has tremlo. Listen to LSBP for timing.
