Metallica - Blitzkrieg Ver 3 gitaar tab
Je score:
Thanks to all those who responded to my Metallica TABs available post. It seems that there are a lot of people wanting TAB for Metallica covers, so I did some overtime last night and prepared Blitzkrieg from the Creeping Death EP. The next song I'll tab is going to be an original Metallica song. (One and Sanitarium are ahead in votes). Enjoy, Bil **************************************************************** BLITZKRIEG - METALLICA (originally by Blitzkrieg) Transcribed by Jeff Jacobson Tabbed by Vassilis Tzerpos This time the explanations come first. s=slide ^=bend ss=slide backwards many frets r=release bend p=pull-off []=artificial harmonic h=hammer-on x=dumped string Timing is exact with 8th = 2'-'s except for the solo where 8th = 4'-'s. The song is in 4/4 but has some measures of 2/4, so some measures seem shorter than the others. Beware of fret numbers like 12121212. They don't mean you have to have a very long guitar. They represent four 16th notes played on the 12th fret. In such cases always take digits in pairs.Finally, all power chords used are the lower ones you can have. Now the song itself: ----|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| ----|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| ----|----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| 7---|7s9-----9---7s9-|----9---7s9-----|----------------|----7---| 5---|5s7-----7---5s7-|----7---5s7-----|9---10------7---|----5---| ----|----0-0---0-----|0-0---0-----0-0-|7---8---0-0-5---|0-0-----| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| Repeat ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| this 7s9-----9---7s9-|----9---7s9-----|----------------|----7---| line 5s7-----7---5s7-|----7---5s7-----|9---10------7---|----5---| 4 times ----0-0---0-----|0-0---0-----0-0-|7---8---0-0-5---|0-0-----| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| 7s9-----9---7s9-|----9---7s9-----|----------------|--------| 5s7-----7---5s7-|----7---5s7-----|9---10------7---|--------| ----0-0---0-----|0-0---0-----0-0-|7---8---0-0-5---|0-0-12ss| $ ----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------| Repeat ----------------|----------------| this ----------------|----------------| line ----------------|----------------| 3 times 0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0-|2-0-0-3-0-0-2s3-| ----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------| ----------------|------------5s4-| ----------------|------------3s2-| 0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0-|2-0-0-3-0-0-----| 1.Let us have peace, let us have life, let us escape the cruel night 2.Save us from fate, save us from hate, save ourselves before it's too late ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|------------5s4-| ----------------|----------------|----------------|------------3s2-| 0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0-|2-0-0-3-0-0-2s3-|0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0-|2-0-0-3-0-0-----| Let us have time, let the sun shine, let us beware the deadly sign Come to our need, hear our plea, save ourselves before the earth bleeds ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|------------5s4-| ----------------|----------------|----------------|------------3s2-| 0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0-|2-0-0-3-0-0-2s3-|0-0-2-0-0-3-0-0-|2-0-0-3-0-0-----| The day is coming Armageddon's near The day is dawning The time is near ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| 2---2---x-5s4-5-|--------4s5-4---|2---2---x-5s4-5-|--------4s5-7---| 0---0---x-3s2-3-|----3-3-2s3-2---|0---0---x-3s2-3-|----3-3-2s3-5---| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Inferno coming Can we survive the blitz Aliens coming Can we survive the blitz ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| 2---2---x-5s4-5-|--------4s5-4---|2---2---x-5s4-5-|--------4s5-7---| 0---0---x-3s2-3-|----3-3-2s3-2---|0---0---x-3s2-3-|----3-3-2s3-5---| ----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| krieg krieg ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| 1st time 2nd time ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| Repeat Repeat ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| this 2 times 7s9-----9---7s9-|----9---7s9-----|----------------|----7---| line and skip 5s7-----7---5s7-|----7---5s7-----|9---10------7---|----5---| 3 times to CODA ----0-0---0-----|0-0---0-----0-0-|7---8---0-0-5---|0-0-----| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| Goto ----------------|----------------|----------------|--------| $ 7s9-----9---7s9-|----9---7s9-----|----------------|--------| al CODA 5s7-----7---5s7-|----7---5s7-----|9---10------7---|----9---| ----0-0---0-----|0-0---0-----0-0-|7---8---0-0-5---|0-0-7ss-| CODA (solo) For the solo the backing guitar plays power chords which are indicated above the solo line in single line "tab". Simultaneous guitars have joined bars. The timing is now different in order to be able to transcribe it correctly. 8ths = 4'-'s.

Now comes the tricky part where you have to use delay effect, harmonics and a lot of tremolo part. I'll just notate only where you should fret. Harmonics = . From now on to the end of the song timing is again 8th = 2'-'s. Backing guitar continues. Tempo slows down.
