Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb

Song: The Outlaw Torn Artist: Metallica Album: Jason Newsted Bassist: Load (1996) Tabbed by LoudLon for BigBassTabs.com Eb tuning (1/2 step down) NOTE: The over-layered guitars go a long way to drowning out Newsted's bass through much of the song; because of this, it took a lot of octave shifting and other tricks to try and make the bass pop out more while transcribing it. Even so, a lot of guess work went into this, so don't expect it to be 100% accurate. This was a song I would have killed for an authentic master track to work from, because it's got such a great, dark vibe and I imagine Newsted's doing some really interesting stuff under all those guitars.
