Holier Than Thou by Metallica
Transcription by Tim Scott
This is a non-spoon feeding type of tab. It gives enough information

how many times a rhythm is played, the changes, etc…

I haven’t got the solo entirely down (that damn wah-wah screws me up) but
I also don’t plan on posting it when I do…So good luck with that..
With this info you should be able to figure out most if not all of the
song…Have fun with it…
