  Holier Than Thou by Metallica Transcription by Tim Scott
  This is a non-spoon feeding type of tab.  It gives enough information on how to play the song and leaves the player the task of counting how many times a rhythm is played, the changes, etc...
  Intro Rhythm 1 ____  ___3___  ___3___  ____  repeat umpteen times.... --|-|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|-|----------------------------------------- --|-|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|-|----------------------------------------- -/^\|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|/|----------------------------------------- 2-|[2]-|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--2-|----------------------------------------- 2-|[2]-|--|--|--|--|--|--|--|--2-|----------------------------------------- 0-|[0]-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|----------------------------------------- (brackets signify the chord is held over from previous measure..)

  Repeat the riff and the extra end and end it like this -----------------------------------|--------------------------------------- -----------------------------------|--------------------------------------- -----------------------------------|--------------------------------------- ----5--7-----5--7-----5--7:slide:14|--------------------------------------- --9-------10-------11--------------|--------------------------------------- -----------------------------------|---------------------------------------
  I haven't got the solo entirely down (that damn wah-wah screws me up) but I also don't plan on posting it when I do...So good luck with that..
  With this info you should be able to figure out most if not all of the song...Have fun with it...
