------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ECSTASY OF GOLD - Metallica ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Brett Dixon Email: brett_dixon15@hotmail.com Tuning: 1/2 Step Down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb) I was looking at the other tabs for this song, and, my gosh.. Incorrect tunings, wrong tab.. They don't even have any of James's parts! Well anyway, here is the full, CORRECT tab.

Metallica's "The Ecstasy of Gold" In it's entirety. If I got anything wrong, please let me know. Enjoy rocking to this track! Can't wait for Death Magnetic, which is going to be my next big project. Check my account the day the album comes out (when will that be!?) and I will have tabs out ASAP. But in the meantime, enjoy!! | / slide up | slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
