Fade to Black - Metallica Tabbed by: Kane Bochatyn (JenoUnion) This is my fairly accurate rendition of Fade to Black by Metallica on bass. It is based of the original master track played by Cliff Burton on the Ride the Lightning album. The link to listen to the bass alone is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yQP08QsKVw. While the other tabs on this site are good, they aren't perfect, and I'm trying correct a couple of things. You might need to listen to the recording for some parts to get the right timing, but almost 100%.

Continue gallops until fade out. If listening to the non-fade out version, end with this: G|-------------------|| D|-------------------|| A|----2~---------2-2-|| E|--55---------------|| And that's it! Did it all in one session so there's a couple of mistakes (especially in the End Bridge as far as timing and notes sync in) but it seems just fine. Enjoy! Key ==== #h# - hammer-on/pull-off (i.e. 5h7h5) #* - staccato (i.e. 5* sounds cut short) #~ - let note ring (i.e. 2~) /# or #\ or /#\ - slide up to/down from note #s - harsh slap sound, used in single notes and w/ staccato

Best bass tab for fade to black obviously... five stars :)
Can you maybe tab the rest of the gallop part?
sounds perfect to me.
