"Fade to Black" by Metallica

This trick came from the Guitar Tricks website, and it is an acoustic riff that is supposed to sound like part of "Fade to Black" by Metallica. It's pretty close, although the notes right before and after the G chord are a little bit different from how Metallica did it. Regardless, it sounds nice, and I recorded myself playing it through a couple of times.

Have a listen (mp3, 64k).

Here is the tablature (taken from the trick and modified by me):


      Am                 C
  E |-0---------0------|-0------0---------|
  B |-0--0h1---------0-|-1--1-----------0-|
  G |-2-----2-----0h2--|-0----0-----0h2---|
  D |-2-------2--------|-2----------------|
  A |-0----------------|-3----------------|
  E |------------------|------------------|

      G                  Em          Am     Am (stop here or repeat)
  E |-3---------3-3-3--|-0---0------------|-0----------------|
  B |-0--0------0-0-0--|-0---0---0---1/3--|-1----------------|
  G |-0----0----0-0-0--|-0---0---0---2/4--|-2----------------|
  D |-0------0----0-0--|-2---2---0---2/4--|-2----------------|
  A |-2-----------2-2--|-2---2------------|-0----------------|
  E |-3-----------3-3--|-0---0------------|------------------|
