Z = rests. Parentheses around chords signify half/whole note notation... ----------------------------- MetalliicA ---------------------------------- Fade To Black ------------- Transcribed by Carl Culpepper Keyed in by A.J.Harsley Notes by AJH: ------------- I've tried to include as much information below as is given in the original tablature. It might make it more difficult to understand but it's all there if you want it. At the top of each section of tab is the chord for the bar (bar lines included). I haven't included note lengths or rests. You'll have to listen to the actual song and work them out for yourself. The bar lines should give you an idea towards timing. The song's in 4/4 time, 116 bpm. All tab markings are at the top of the tab. Markings used: P - pull off. H - hammer on. T - tap - fret at note shown, tap at note in brackets. .---. - sustained note. sl - slide. vibrato - vibrate string. (or use tremolo). )\ - bend and release / \ ) - string bend (usually full - f) / // - repeat previous beat (used for 1/16 notes) '/, - repeat previous measure (bar) x - rake - drag pick across strings shown from low to high Bm(flat 6) Bm/A Bm(flat 6) A/C# Rhy.
