Don't Tread On Me by: The Mighty Metallica you die-hards out there who just have to know how to play every Metallica song ever. It's not terribly difficult, so here it goes. All gtrs tune down 1/2 step eb Bb Bb Db Ab Eb Tablature Explanation p.m. - palm muting ^ - bend, above the staff is the amount of bend F - full step 1/2 - half step 2 - two steps... tr~~~- trill between note and note in paranthesis H - Hammer on P - Pull off Note, in part of the solo, i placed the Hammer ons and pull offs above the staff to make reading easier. I also used lower case and upper case for the same reason. There is no difference in the meanings. Rhy.

So be it....... Touch me again for the ......... Don't tread..... Love it or leave ........ Quick is the blue tongue........ Shining with brightness...... The eyes, they never close....... Say, Don't tread ..... Welp, I hope you guys like it. Took me a while, but a figure it's worth it to keep all the Metalli-friends jamming. Oh, don't give me any crap about not putting in the Rythem section under the solo... It's not perfect but it's as close as care to come.... Hopefully, I'll be sending more stuff your way soon.
