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, Wilbert Pol ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HIT THE LIGHTS -------------- intro 144 bpm 4/4 2/4 4/4 |---|---------|-----|--------|-----| |---|---------|-----|--------|-----| |-7-|-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-|-7------|-----| |-0-|-0-0-0-0-|-0-0-|-0------|-2---| l q q q q q q l l / / / / |---------------------------------------------|-------|| |---------------------------------------------|-------|| |-2-0-2-0---2-0-2-4-4-4-2-4-4-4-4-2-0-0-------|---R---|| |---------2-----------------------------2-----|-------|| t t t t s t t t t t t t t t t t t t t l 160 bpm fig.1 | 4 |------|------|------|------|-------------------------| |-----|---R--|---R--|---R--|---R--|-------------------------| |-----|-0----|-0----|-0----|-0----|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-0-5-0-3-| | |------|------|------|------|-------------------------| e h.. e h.. e h.. e h.. e s s s s s s e s e s e |---------------------------|-------------------------| |---------------7-5---5-----|-------------------------| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----7---6-7-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-0-5-0-3-| |---------------------------|-------------------------| e s s s s s s s s s e s e e s s s s s s e s e s e Verse 1 end fig.1 fig.2 end fig.2 |---------------------------||-----------------|---------------| |---------------------------||-----------------|---------------| |-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-1-2-3-3-4-||-5-5-7-----------|-5-5-5-3--2----| |---------------------------||-------3-3-3-3-0-|-------------2-| e s s s s s s s s s e s e e q e e s e s e e q e e. e. e play fig.1, fig.2, first two bars of fig.1 Chorus fig.3 7/8 end fig.3 |---------------------|-------------||---------------|---------------| |---------------------|-------------||---------------|---------------| |---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-------3-2---||---R-------R---|-----R---3-----| |-0-------------------|-3-2-3-----3-||-5---5-3-5---5-|-3-5---5----3--| e e s s e e s e s e q q q q q q e e q s s e q s s e q e. e.
