Rhy. Fig. 1 (8th=--)

Now comes solo 1. Timing isn't always exact but is close.

Now comes the second solo. The backing guitar plays a B chord for
the next line and then goes on 4 times with the backing rhythm
of solo 1.

For the next two lines we have two guitars soloing together.
For two notes they play on the same string (high E). In this
case the highest note is indicated above the tablature.

This last E chord lasts rather long for Metallica, while the song
doubles its tempo and the lyrics go "Just leave me alone".
Then you make a pick slide down the neck and you go:
