song Notes

Not the hardest song in their collection but it has that iconic Cliff intro melody with distortion & Wah-wah action on it. The rest of the song is some pretty straight forward stuff but Cliff is still keeping it interesting with some off-beat chords strikes in the verses and playing some notes that you would assume he’s hitting hard wit a much lighter touch…

Still an absolute classic and a rite of passage “learner” for anyone new to metal bass playing.
