Well, Metallica's new song! Here is the tab, and I think it's correct...
I read the corrections, and I'd like to thank everyone who's helping!
Though most of the corrections are about the first riff, I heard the song carefully and now I think it's perfect! :)
I'll number the riffs, and you'll find the song structure at the end of the tab...
Have fun!
