Someone requested this in alt.rock-n-roll.metal.metallica, so as that is not an
appropriate newsgroup, I've posted it in here.

The whole song is played using power chords and I prefer to use only two
strings for speed . All of it is played with downstrokes ( which , by the
way is almost impossible ) and I take no responsibility for timing.
The hammer and sliding part is how it sounds to me , but if you have a
better idea , go ahead and correct me .
