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
|-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.
