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)
Acoustic Riff 1

Start with Acoustic Riff 1 once and then while that keeps playing Gtr II plays
