  • 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.
