METALLICA ENCYCLOPEDIA - Tabs for "Battery"

Tabs for

"Battery"

Band: Metallica
Album: Master Of Puppets


      There's about half a dozen guitar parts on the intro where Jaymz
 layered acoustics, steel strings, spanish guitars and god knows what else.
 One acoustic plays riff  1 and the rest of the layered guitars play along
 the lines of riff 2 (I Think)

funny chords though (marked ??) I'm not too hot on theory!! :)
