written by Metallica as performed live with the San Francisco Symphony on S&M tab by Phil Boyle; [email protected] There are two ways to tune the guitar to play this song. The way the band has it tuned (or at least James) on the S&M video is: Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb (Dropped D down 1/2 step). The song can also be played in standard C# tuning. Music theory lesson for today: C# and Db are the same note.
