Metallica Chords & Tabs

 		Version: 22 Type: Tab 
Master Of Puppets Tab
    
I have looked at the solo's for Master of Puppets that are on this site and none of
them quite match up to the complexity and quality that Kirk and James actually play.
So I can assure you this is the solo of all solos, and it is tabbed 100% perfectly.
I'll give you the extra information that will  help and enlighten you.

I put time codes by the different sections/parts of the solo so you don't get confused,
so you need the CD, or the Mp3 whatever and should be listening and learning at the
same time. I'll try to make this is simple as possible but remember, this is not a
simple guitar peice, so I hope that most of you can handle it. It's actually not so
bad after practice.


If you don't already know this, Kirk uses a 24 fret guitar, and James uses a 22 fret.
I have tabbed the roles of both Guitars.

GUITAR 1 = James
GUITAR 2 = Kirk

It's that simple, now onto the solo. (Note: The symbols key is at the bottom of this tab)

=================================================================


It starts out with a "breakdown" of the song. 

TIME CODE: 3:33 approx.
                                   V--note is still ringing
GUITAR 1 (clean, let ring)         |

Now this riff I just showed you continues to play through out the
break down until the solo starts.


===================================================

TIME CODE: 3:52

This is James and Kirk playing together, remember GUITAR 1 IS JAMES
AND GUITAR 2 IS KIRK.

Now this is the first solo. It's much slower paced than the second
solo. It's pretty simple, enjoy.

OK, now remember that riff up there ^^ with the TIME CODE at 3:52?
Play that riff again (James and Kirk together) twice then come back down here.

=========================================

We are now at the heavy breakdown. It's the first riff I showed you but
with distortion and palm muting. It's simple enough.
