=============================================================
Here's "Frantic" from Metallica's new album St. Anger.
I'm not sure if this tab is suitable for printing because I
had to make the bars pretty wide.
I believe this tab is very accurate. You'll need to listen
to the recording of the song for the exact timing. If you're
not sure on a timing issue, just play it faster and that will
probably solve it. This song will definitely give you a work
out on speed picking and accuracy. But it's really fun to
play once you've got it!. Please email me with any comments,
questions, or corrections. Thanks and enjoy!!

Tuning is Drop D tuned down 1 whole step (Drop C).

1st=D 2nd=A 3rd=F 4th=C 5th=G 6th=C
============================================================
Key:

PM = Palm Mute
/ = Slide up
\ = Slide down
p = Pull Off
H = Hammer on

|*---------*|
|*---------*| = Repeat bars between "*" marks once.
