Other tabs
made by me: Metallica - Enter Sandman

Metallica - Orion
Metallica - The Unforgiven
This a short and fast song. The first four bars of the MAIN PART are reallly good.
I think it's because the rythem is very 'strange'. The solo is fast but it doesn't
contain any difficult techniques. Just start playing the solo very slow and tap with
your foot, make sure you are playing in the right rythem. If that works, then you
almost can play it. With most solos the speed will be no problem. Just make sure you
have the rythem right first, the speed doesn't matter, thrust me.
If you want to add this tab on your site then please leave the tab as it is. If you are not sure
that you have the originial tab mail me. Also, if somebody is using my tab then please mail me.
You can always get the newest verion of the tab at my website.
If you see any white lines between the guitar lines, then make sure you resolution is
1024 x 768 or greater and that you are using Notepad.
Well, let's play this song.
