Master of Puppets
By: Metallica
Tabbed by: Kane Bochatyn (JenoUnion)
Cliff's bassline for Master of Puppets. This one seemed a bit like o_O
because of the minor differences in the heavy riff, but meh.
Questions, comments, or concerns should all go to
CryofthePlanet@hotmail.com OR DarkCloud@aol.com. Thanks, and enjoy!

And that's that! Key is below, some new things, but not much. This was a fun
song to tab out, but the chorus was pretty difficult at first. Well, hope
you bassists like this. Slowly going through and setting straight all of
Cliff's basslines that have been tabbed wrong because he plays it way
weird. =D
Key
====
(#...#...#...) - omit phrase on final playthrough (i.e. in choruses,
don't play the end bit for the 4th playthrough of the riff)
#h# - Hammer-on/Pull-off to/from indicated fret (i.e. 2h5)
#/# - Slide to indicated fret (i.e. 5/7)
#~ - Let indicated fret ring (i.e. 2~)
