laylah
i think the song is beautiful, i only just started playing, but the tab was easy to follow and sounded great(well, all except i havent been playing long) i dont really care if it is regular tuning or not, if youre playing it in your own home, i dont think metallica will have anything to say about it if its in regular tuning or not. thanks for the awesome tab
