This is the Blackened bass tab which is off the And Justice For All album. I play this
song with a pick as I do with every MetallicA song. This tab may not be exactly how it
is played from a book you may buy for Metallica bass tabs. But this is how I play it.
If you would like to have the sound files which I recorded for this song which is only
bass, please feel free to email me.
If You have any suggestions/changes or coments, please feel free email them on as well.
Tuning : Standard
