Blackened by Metallica
Transcription by justin weyand
punksrule4987@aol.com   (4th revision)

Notation:
. - palm mute
h - hammer on
p - pull off
! - I used these to glue the dots to the page. Huh? (just ignore them).
s/ - slide up           these are used for normal
s                         and ghost slides
\ - slide down

In general I tried to keep one dash '-' equal to a thirty-second note.
Thus,
|-0---0---0---0---   are eight notes and

|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-   are sixteenth notes.

E||--                                          -||
B||--                                          -||
G||*-     These mark the beginning and the     *||
D||*-     end of a section to be repeated.     *||
A||--                                          -||
E||--                                          _||

--------|--------
--------|--------
--------|-3------
--------|-1------
---1---^|(1)----- <--- this means the 1 should ring out in to the
--------|--------       next measure while the 1 and 3 are played

My transcription strictly notates the rhythm guitar for this song.
The intro and solo are tabbed below my transcription.
They were tabbed below by Matt Holliman bu345@cleveland.Freenet.Edu) and

Vassilis Tzerpos (bpatr@theseas.ntua.gr) respectively.
(addendum: In my second revision I tabbed my own version of
                the harmonies in the beginning of the solo.
