Metallica – The Shortest Straw (Guitar Solo Tab)

Versions (4)

Auto-scroll

This is my first tab of the freking awsome solo Shortest straw, it might just be kirks but defenetly his most creative solo. Well ALL the shortest straw tabs are wrong most of the riffs but my tab is 100% right or very damn close. Ohh one more thing this is freking hard and it took me about a week to get it down.
