Steel Meets Steel Tab by Hammerfall HAMMERFALL 'Steel Meets Steel' from the album 'Glory To The Brave' transcribed by Tom Grana (metaltom@hotmail.com) find more metal tablatures at http://venus.spaceports.com/~metaltab/ Hello fellow metal-heads An excelent song from HammerFall's excelent debut album Glory To The Brave. The song is pretty easy, except the main riff's kinky timing, and the 3rd verse require some long and/or stretchy fingers. (like Oskar's) I think my transcription should be correct, even the solo and the timing, but if you got any doubts, suggestions or whatever, don't hesitate to contact me. A metalheart is hard to tear apart!
