The Outlaw Torn
by Metallica
There's several version of this floating around, none of which i think are
very easy to follow. Most of this is lifted from the "Load" book, with a few
additions and what not from me.
tune guitar down 1/2 step
The nasty intro is double tracked... (fade in)

Play 7 times...rock your wah wah on those string mutes, and then play with
it a little on those F5/E chords. i think it sounds good to leave it about
half open, and then tip it forward a little on the second of each pair of
those chords. The second guitar isn't too important until the next
measure:

The trick to getting this to sound like it does
on the album is to palm mute the open E's that aren't played with any
other notes--if you don't, it will sound wrong, i guarantee. Anyway, play
that 4x, end on D5 to E5. Verses guitars out until
...whole lifetime for............ you

That F# is faded in w/the volume knob/pedal. Alse, the scrape isn't a pick
slide, just string noise w/a touch of delay. Guitars back out till
...search inside for............... you

4th time also substitute this for the second part:

Bridge: this is played with lots of variations and stuff, but this is the
main gist:

Db|--7--9------7--7-----------------------------------------------------|

Eb|---------------5----3-5-5-5-0--3-5-5-5-5--3-3/5-3--2--3-----3--------|
4th time, end on an E(II). interlude/solo: These both take a bit of work
to get to sound right. The interlude is all volume swells, and it's got
some echo on it, too.

the solo is totally nuts. =) there's a
measure that i'm not sure how to play(it's not even in the Load
book)...Anyway, you need to rely on the Wah Wah pedal to make this sound
right.

* means one and a half steps.... the solo, not the interlude, is tabbed
by measures. the rhythm for the solo is the chorus riff with typical
variations
outro: (try using your middle or neck pickup)
