Thing That Should Not Be Guitar Tablature
This is my personal work so selling(lol) this tab ´n stuff is forbidden..Only for personal use or studying

Tabbed By: ~~" Lazarus_(Kannus) "~~
Band/Song: Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be

/ = slide
p = pull-off
h = hammer-on
b = bend
"--" = vibrato (the string is vibrated by rapidly bending and releasing a note with the fret hand or tremolo bar)
"~~" = shake or exaggerated vibrato (the pitch is varied to a greater degree by vibrating with the fret hand on tremolo bar)

Okay, here it comes,I´ll try to make this as easy(and original) as it can get and ill try to explane how the parts are going..this is mix-tab for main and rythm guitarr, so using this tab and a bit of your imagination you can play it live with a band :):):)
