============================================================
Here are the tabs to the new Metallica song Dirty Window.

These are the correct tabs! Meaning how Metallica plays it.

It's a bit hard to convey timing in tablature, but I did
my best. The song is in 4/4. the main riff is 2 dotted
8th notes followed by an 8th note (in case this helps
anyone out there). Just listen to the song for the timing.
This is my first tab, feel free to email me with comments.
Rock on!

Metallica St. Anger - (Edit 04 - Dirty Window)
The song "Dirty Window" off Metallica's St. Anger Album, edited the way I feel it should have been. For this song, the biggest problem was the over repetition of nearly everything except the verses. Everything here was trimed from vocal lines to riffs. A big cut right off the bat is the removal of the first "I'm Judge and I'm Jury" line, and bringing that first part of the song to the second with the main riff. The transition from verse to verse I think is now a bit smoother. For the "Projector, Rejector" parts I cut about two bars off the lines each time, and tightened it up by matching the sounds of words and bringing them together. The fact that the words all rhymed made it easier.
