Metal (ver 6) by Tenacious D
The Metal
Tenecious D
I�ve seen a lot of tabs for this floating around that are just plain wrong
or don�t even bother to include anything but the main riff. Wrong tabs
and lazy tabbers annoy me. Here�s how the whole song is actually played:
Guitar 1: Tuned to Drop D. Decently heavy distortion on this guitar, I
believe it�s with the neck pickup.
Guitar 2: Standard Tuning, same guitar as Guitar 3 but with heavy distortion and a phase shifter.
Guitar 3: Standard Tuning. Same guitar as Guitar 2 without the effects, Bridge Pickup,
with the tone about half way.

Bridge -- Why can't anyone get this part right?!?
Guitar 3:
Done using alternate "travis picking" technique where you play with
a flat pick and your middle finger. Takes a bit of practice, but it's
really easy, especially what's expected of one in this song.
