The Outlaw Torn by Metallica from the album 'Load' Transcription by Keith Railton (http://www.mooworldorder.com/) This is 'The Outlaw Torn'... Yeah, I _know_ some of it looks strange, but I'm convinced this is how it's played. The part I'm not sure of is the first riff (the one that fades in) cos' you can't tell what chord it's meant to be. I just play the really nasty sounding thing below . . .

If I close my mind..." bit. Listen _very_ carefully to get the timing. This guitar part is played quite 'loosely'. Right then. These next bits are the parts leading up to Kirk's mad solo bit, to play them you'll some echo or get another guitar to play the echoed parts... |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------| |-------5---7b8b7---5---7b8b7---5-----| |-7---------------------------------7-| |-------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |------8---10b11b10---10-----10b11b10b12---| |9-----------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |----------------------------------------| |------5---7~~~----9-----------5---------| |7~~-------------------5~~---------7~~---| |----------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------------- |------------------------------------------------------------------- |----------------7---9~--------------9---7~------------------9---7~- |------5---5~--------------5---5~--------------3-b-5-b-3------------ |7~~---------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------| -----------------| -------------7---| ----9---10-------| -----------------| -----------------| Now then, all someone has to do is work out the solo . . . This last bit is the fade-out jam bit. It's not all here cos', well it's _meant_ to be improvised. If I was doing this live I'd make something up in A/D Pentatonic to fit . . .
