Metallica - Blitzkrieg bass tab

Newsgroups: rec.music.makers.bass

Subject : BTAB: Metallica - Kill 'em all

From: wfpol@cs.ruu.nl (Wilbert Pol)

The people who transcribed it :

Jeff Jacobson - Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth

Andy Aledort - Jump in the Fire

Steve Gorenberg - the rest

The only thing I've done is converting them to ascii.

I've put all note lengths below the measures, they are :

w - whole note

h - half note

q - quarter note

e - eigth note

s - sixteenth note

t - thirty-second note

l - long note ('fermate' sign)

x+y - play note with length x+y

/ - a couple of these mean you have to fill the length with

1. eight notes (1 slash) or

2. sixteenth notes (2 slashes) or

3. thirty-second notes (3 slashes)

R - in the tab denotes a rest.

x - an undefined or muted note.

[ 3 ] - a triplet

/ - slide up

/(X) - slide up to fret X, but don't pick X

\ - slide down

\(X) - slide down to fret X, but don't pick X

T - tap note

Harm - harmonic

A.H. - Artificial harmonic

inside bar :

p - pull off

h - hammer on

bx - bend string x notes up

bx r - bend string x notes up and release string

a note without a length indication, means a 'ghost' note (The little notes

that occur in sheet music sometimes).

cresc. - crescendo (Play louder and louder, 'fade in')

||-- --||

||-o o-|| - a repeat

||-o o-||

||-- --||

| X |

|-----| - X bar rest

|-----|

| % | - repeat previous bar

Have fun,
