Damage, Inc.
By Metallica
from Master of Puppets

Tabbed By Paul Halvorson

I have included all of the song that I know, which is most of it. I know i'm
missing a few parts: Kirk's solo, Cliff's solo, and the rythm part before &
after Kirk's solo. If you have the parts that I didn't tab, feel free to tab
them yourself, and add them to mine and re-post this on OGLA. Feel free to
correct or add to all of my other tabs, too (The Shortest Straw, Green Hell,
Metal Militia). And sorry if this comes across all screwed up, because Eudora
really screws tabs up for spacing and stuff.


Intro (after Cliff's solo)

Damage Inc. Solo _Damage Inc. Written and Performed by Metallica
>From the album Master of Puppets

Tabbed by Jesse Pierce
This is the main solo from Damage Inc. this isn't the whole thing,
there's a little bit more but it's pretty simple, I think Hammett starts
using a Wah-Wah near the end, I can't remember for sure, I usually just
improvise the rest after I finish what I have tabbed. Anyway, it's
mostly alternate picked, really fast, I guess you'll have to listen to
it anyway to figure it all out, but it's not that hard to play. Have
fun, MetallicA Rules!

Just improvise a little staying within the same basic ideas, after this
point, there's a couple of stops I think before the very end of the
solo, but you should be able to figure the rest out yourself.
