Welcome GMC'ers! This lesson regards the rhythm guitar for the song "Battery" by Metallica off of their album Master of Puppets released in 1986.

This is a exciting and energetic track in my opinion. It's been apart of Metallica's live show for many years as it's surely a crowd mover. It's got an epic intro using four guitars which remind me of Spanish Flamenco.

Techniques:(typical thrash metal)
* Palm Muting
* Use Of Fast 16th Notes
* Stops

Scales:
E harmonic minor

Let the metal flow!/ Daniel
