Howdy y'all!  I just thought I'd contribute to this fine Newsgroup.  The following is the acoustic mellow part found in the middle of Metallica's To Live is to Die.  Even for those who frown upon the group, GIVE THIS RIFF A CHANCE.  It sounds really nice.  The first top line is the chord (the F is probably not right), the next is how to count it, and the one after that is the note values (4=quarter, 8=eighth).  For these riffs, '~' means sustain (let ring).

Next is the intro off Battery.  This was done on 4 classical guitars with nylon strings, but I've reduced it to two.

First, only guitar 1 is played twice.  The pick should glide across the strings for a slow, single strum on all chords.  Then guitar 2 joins in (while gtr 1 continues to repeat), playing only the 3rd string for one pass (4 bars).  Then strings 3 and 2 are played for one pass, and then all 3 strings are played.  Then everything gets raunchy and James leaps in with a galoping furious guitar.  If anyone is intrested in the rest of the song, I can transcribe from the book upon request.

PS- Thanx 1E+07 for Kutulu, Ken!  Keep em comming!
