Low Mans Lyric - Metallica
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: 790FX
Album: ReLoad (1997)
Tuning: half-step down
I love Low Mans Lyric and Jasons bass line and it's sad that all the tabs i found are more or less wrong.
So I start to tab something close, as good as i could. And it takes a lot of work and time! *phew
It looks harder than it realy is. The song has a great feeling, play with it and you got the right timing.
Intro and outro are not part of the original bass line and optional!
Let every note ringing except after it comes a pause.
If something is wrong please let me now it. Comments are welcome. :)
