From: Travis Grady 
Subject: Live Shit from Metallica

Hey guys, here are somes things I've tabbed that come from the Live
Shit: Binge and Purge CD's and videos.  I've also used some things from
the Year And a Half videos.  These are all riffs and rhythms that have
been played live so I don't think have been recorded anywhere else but
on these CD's.  I hope y'all enjoy!

Live Shit

Tabbed by Travis Grady  (trgrady@vt.edu)

Here are some riffs that Kirk and Jaymz play on the Live Shit CD's and videos and the Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica videos.  I've tried to tab em out the best I could so they may not be exactly right.

Tab symbols used:

\  - slide
pm - palm mute
b  - bend
r  - release
  )\
b/   \ - gradual bend and release
p  - pull off
~  - tremelo
h  - hammer on
Harm  - harmonics
x  - fret hand mutting
tr~ - trill


This is the "Walk This Way" riff on the video.  Kirk plays this when James and Lars are battling each other on the drum kits.  James plays the opening to the song on the drums and Kirk kicks it in.

Here's the "Alfred Hitchcock" riff Kirk plays during one his solos.  Jaymz comes in and supports Kirk with some rhythm.  This riff is on the video and the CD.

Here are some more Live Shit riffs.  These riffs are from the Mexico City CD's.  Jason is finishing up his bass solo with Zepplin's "Dazed and Confused"  and some other song.  Kirk joins in before starting his solo.  I've went ahead and tabbed some of Jason's stuff so you can get the feel of the timing and rhythm.

This is Jason's bass line. (4x)

This next section is from Jason's bass solo on the Seattle video.  I think it is from "To Live Is To Die."  Jason is playing a little rhythm on his bass and Jaymz joins in and then Kirk.  All guitars are clean.

ADDED BONUS!!!!
I tabbed this new song from the free concert in Philadelphia Nov 11.  One of my friends videotaped it and I tried to tab it the best I could according to the video.  Kirk was jamming on his guitar making lots of noise and Jason kicks in the opening bass line to Devil's Dance.  They used a lot more effects than on the CD so I am going to try to get all the effects in there.  The song is in drop D tuning.  It's on the Reload CD and I don't think they played it exactly like it is on the CD.  I got the lyrics from the CD.  Enjoy!!!

Here's the beginning of the solo.  It's not exactly the same as on the CD but sounds a lot like it.  I know the beginning is different because it Kirk uses wah and the 15p14p13 aren't on the CD.

     *tremelo pick this note fast as hell and gradually
      bend up a step
