I was given the Metallica (black album) Easy Guitar book for Christmas. A sticker on the front cover says "With Tablature" Except the not all the music is in Tab, I'd say 40 to 50% of the songs show proper music. For example the Verses of Sad but true do not show any tab at all. Bit disappointed really as I can't read music, and don't want to arse about learning to either.
Has anyone else got this book and discovered the same? Am I missing or not understanding something?
Can anyone help me work out what the bit circled means please? Have to tune down a whole step so the 6th string is a D which is confusing me.

Pretty useless if you ask me. A decent YouTube tutorial would be a lot more useful for learning the songs.
Is there a key (no pun intended) at the back of the book?
Theres a very basic list of definitions for guitar notation on the first page, but that's it.
Crap book, unfortunately.
I have the full tab book, so know its right.
The full tab this books aren't always right...
In this case it is, but not always.

There's a Metallica play-along book which comes with 2 CD's of backing tracks. That's what I have, and use.
