Description: We proudly present the matching folio to the highly anticipated CD by these heavy metal masters - the first to feature bassist Robert Trujillo, and the first produced by Rick Rubin. Includes artist-approved notes and tab for the hit single "The Day That Never Comes" and 9 more: All Nightmare Long * Broken, Beat and Scarred * Cyanide * End of the Line * The Judas Kiss * My Apocalypse * Suicide and Redemption * That Was Just Your Life * The Unforgiven III.
Details: Item arrived in perfect condition and way before the estimated time of delivery. I am very happy with the Tab book and will surely buy again. Keep up the good work!
Details: This transcription of the retail version of Death Magnetic is missing something obvious: there is no extra tablature to cover the noises made by the clipping on the album!
You would think they would at least an an extra line for the digital scratching. Alot of times in a tab book, Dream Theater's for example, they transcribe keyboard parts to guitar, etc, in case a guitarist wanting to do a cover of the piece doesn't have a keyboard player. Since there is no "digital distortion" player, we need an extra line for us to be able to reproduce the "crackles" live!
Review Summary: Death Magnetic

Details: The music book for Metallica's Death Magnetic is very accurate and why I bought it in the first place. it is better than trying to learn the songs on the internet which aren't as accurate.
Review Summary: Excellent Book
Date: 2008-11-10
Details: Metallica truly went back to the basics with this album. As usual, Cherry Lane did an excellent job transcribing the album. This book is quite accurate, and nicely laid out. I only have two minor issues with this book.
The first - is lack of chord diagrams on the first page of each song like they did in the other tab books. Even though I am proficient in reading music, I found this feature nice.
The second - are some disconnects between the tablature and actual music notation. In some locations the music staff is indicating a low G, but the tablature is correctly notating an open low E. I am shocked this was not caught at the editing phase.
In any case, if you want to learn how to play the songs on Death Magnetic, this is a great start.
