Battery Send "Battery" Ringtone to your Cell Battery 



From: Clifford Veighey 


			BATTERY by Metallica
	           From the 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)
