ARTIST: METALLICA
SONG: BLEEDING ME
LP: LOAD

LAST WEEK I BROKE MY WAH AND I'M WAITING FOR A NEW SWITCH SO THIS TAB MIGHT NOT BE PERFECT COZ THIS SOLO IS SATURATED IN WAH. I JUST HAD TO TAB THIS SOLO BECAUSE ITS THE ONLY SOLO ON LOAD AND RELOAD THAT IS LIKE THE BLACK ALBUM. THE SLOWER PARTS ARE MOST DIFFICULT BUT THE FAST BITS ARE QUITE SIMPLE. I WOULD DEFINETELY ONLY USE THIS SOLO AS A GUIDELINE AND IMPROVISE THE REST. MOST OF KIRK'S SOLOS ARE JUST BASED ON A CERTAIN STRUCTURE SUCH AS:FAST HAMMER AND PULLS IN 10TH FRETS, 4 BARS SO AND SO ETC. THE ORIGINAL TAB DIDN'T INCLUDE THE SOLO AND LEAD PARTS BUT IT WAS FAIRLY GOOD SO I USED HIS TAB IN THIS TAB. BASS, DISTORTION AND MIDDLE POSITION TREBLE SOAKED IN WAH ARE THE KEY ELEMENTS OF HIS SOUND. SO I'LL SHUT UP AND LET YOU PLAY THE BELOW MASTERPIECE AS BEST YOU CAN.WHEN I GET MY WAH FIXED I WILL GO OVER THIS AND CORRECT ANY MISTAKES.

THATS WHAT I GOT AND IF THATS NOT RIGHT, IT'LL MAKE A PRETTY GOOD SOLO ANYWAY. I'LL DO SOME CORRECTIONS WHEN I GET MY WAH SWITCH AND IF ANYBODY HAS ANY CORRECTIONS YOU SHOULD SEND THEM TO ME AT YNGWIE41@HOTMAIL.COM SO I CAN SEE IF THERE WHERE ANY MISTAKES I DIDN'T NOTICE.
GOOD LUCK
