Hey everyone! The acoustic guitar in this video is a Donner Full-size 41 inch dreadnought cutaway. Nice full vibrant sound and great feel especially for an entry level guitar. It's comes with a clip on tuner, capo, extra picks, a pack of strings, and more. Personally speaking, this guitar is better than my first instrument and cost less. Such a great price tag and if you are a beginner or musician with a tight budget, check it out! Few notes about the song. I'm following Hetfield's pick strokes in the verses (at least from his recent live performances) for the most part. If this feels unorthodox, go with pick strokes | D DU DU DU | D DU DU DU | D DU DU DU | D DU D D | (where D - Down and U - Up counted 1 2+3+4+). You may have to pause the video at 0:49 to see the next note because the tab scroll is somewhere cut off in advance. I'm only just starting to experiment with this style of showing both guitars at once so it will get better. I love Hammett's classic guitar solos. Brings me back to my teenage years when I was into practicing pentatonic and minor exercises and he is a big influence on my playing. I really enjoyed doing this tune and I hope you enjoy learning it. What's the next Metallica song gonna be?

Amazing channel you got here Mr. Tabs. I am a 58 year old who is getting back into playing guitar after years and I find this channel to be extremely helpful even if my fingers are not what they used to be. Lol Just wondering....have you or would you ever consider doing BB King's "How Blue Can You Get" from Live at Cook County Jail? I absolutely love that song and am more into the blues. Can't find a decent tab/lesson for that. Thanks for your great channel.

I've always wondered if Metallica liked to fade out songs like this because Kirk couldn't decide how to end the solo haha. Thanks for doing this one, I really like the solo and started learning it a while ago funny enough so it's great to have a backing track to practice to!

You're getting old dude. To be remembering way back when there was no youtube and barely an internet even and guitarists had to swap licks with mates, learn by ear, pick up bits and pieces from magazines and try and learn a metallica song or least some riffs or solo from the $40 official metallica album tabs book that you "borrowed" of your mate before your brothers or mates or brothers mates or mates brothers "borrowed" it from you. I still play some songs part right, part wrong that i made up back then cause the tabs went missing. Haha. Idk what i was thinking though...i shouldve just scanned them all with my phone and uploaded them to the cloud in pdf then print a few hard copies over wifi and cast the livestream or interactive video tutorial onto my smart tv and sync it to my pro digital recording studio setup or something? Idk why i didnt just do that back then? (Probably too many mushrooms or something. On the pizzas we ate. ) Oh yeah! Damn I'm nearly getting sorta oldish myself 😬 How did we even survive though bro without phones and google and social media and shit? (And why didnt we invent those things and get loaded af? ) How did we find any information about anything without google? How did we ever make friends and meet girls and grt to know them without Facebook or tinder? (Tinder? Or is that the gay one lol? Idk i dont use that shit. Or fb. Im happily engaged to marry the most beautiful young lady on the planet already. Who i actually first met on google plus come to think lol) Im almost suprused we even had guitars , electric ones even, and electricity. Or did we just stand in a lightning storm and putbour amps on lightnight rods? Geez, hard to imagine back then without all this modern tech. Like the dark ages. But damn i wish we could back to that!!! 😢😂 Freedom I'm sorry about the loss of your friebd though buddy. You know this is also the first song i learnt and we learnt as a crappy band my mates and brother. Amd wed play it over and over. With the one drum beat our drummer knew . And our rhythum guitar and bass guys learnt by ear and played it all wrong which was frustrating as the lead guy lol. And the drummer had it played at his funeral, bass guy no...thought innapropriate as he necked himself iwth a power cord (and i found him and perrformed CPR for 3 hours straight to no avail. One reason ill never sing this song or play it or listen to it played.... ive loat many good people to that shit and think its fucked up metallica wrote this to try and encourage it in sone creepy contest with megadeth)

Nearly 20 years ago in my teenage years I was big into Metallica, learning all the hits. Now that I've forgotten how to play them, here I am. Well done and thank you 🤜

Thank you so much! You are the best channel to learn songs, I’ve always tried to play the whole solo from beginning to end like the record but couldn’t find a good tutorial or tabs to learn from, but you have come save the day :)

Yo, wtf, i've been studying this song for about a week now and you just release a tab on it??? Love it btw, keep on it, now i will learn it properly with your tab

Wow you made that last solo look easy. I've been trying to play that for awhile now. Gonna get back at it. Thanks!!!!

This was one of the first metal songs I learned when starting guitar, kept me motivated to keep learning because that clean verse is so sexy. This version showed me I have many errors from piecing the song together over the last 15 years, so thank you for an absolutely perfect and complete version, I am relearning it now and this video makes life 10x easier.

This was the song that started me on learning guitar. Still an awesome song today.

This is one of my favourite songs from metallica! 🤘

Man, awesome cover. Technically, the first Metallica song I ever heard was Enter Sandman but Fade to Black was the first Metallica song I LISTENED to. Solo gave me chills like when I first heard it. It would be awesome if you did Let There Be Rock by AC/DC at some point! One of my favorites because of how almost metal it is

What beautiful playing, not a single wrong note or timing

I almost had a stroke trying to follow the guitar solo's in this. Unbelievable, so much respect for your talent, this video and of course Metallica!

Thanks for breaking this down into sections. Awesome playing very clean and relaxed hands👍. You have mastered it.

I‘m a bass player but I absolutely want to learn this part 0:58 it is so frickin beautiful, so wish me luck! Oh and thanks for the very accurate tabs :)

So good. One of my fave channels to learn from.

Yessssssss finally we have the tabs on the final part of the solo, thanks

Very clear, smooth and articulate. Great job and nice framing having a clear overview of the fretboard, both hands and the tabs running underneath and no distractions. Thanks for making these!

Could you do fight fire with fire??

amazing attention to detail!! great job. love your handle and style.

Thankyou for actually playing the fade out of the solo, so many other tutorials skip over it.

You have amazing vibrato, it’s my favorite part of your videos

Where were you when I started playing guitar 20 years ago? Another great video! Thank you so much!

Cracking job as always 👏 thank you! 🙂

This guy helped me through my guitar career a lot , thanks

Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further, every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly loss, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness, taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me Can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think Think why I should even try Yesterday seems As though it never existed Death greets me warm Now I will just say goodbye Goodbye

I started learning guitar with a nylon string. I could play the acoustic intro and the verse melody. Now I've switched to the electric guitar and I've been learning the intro solo and the riffs. I guess the bridge riff of this song is my absolute favorite.

Omg I love this song and finally I can have the tabs Thanks Mr tabs

another wonderful job as usual

I thought that was amazing as always. Thanks for doing it. Its only a thought but for the duel guitar section what about arranging the tabs so that one part runs across the top of the screen and the other runs across the bottom? When they are next to each other its quite hard to follow them. Still great though. Its just an idea.

After one year of playing guitar and with your awesome tutorials i managed to learn this song in like 5 or so hours😁

YES! Thank you for doing this epic song!
