In this tab, i'll cover up to 1:06,which is just before the main riff starts. Its probably the easiest Metallica riff to play (bar Enter Sandman), so you shouldnt really have any problems. Comment if i tabbed it wrong. Also, you might think im copyin practically word for word of a tab submitted yesterday, im not, i wrote it, just tTabs logged me out just before i submitted it, so im resubmitting it so that i get credit.

E|-----------------------------|               time to master but it makes it much easier.

                                                 Electric
Now the electric kicks in, 3 guitars play the 3 acoustic patterns, while another guitar and bass plays this:

E|-----------------------|                                           E|-------|
B|-----------------------|                                           B|-------|
G|-----------------------|                                           G|-------|                    
D|2~-----3~-----4~-----5~|  X 4   On the second and fourth time,     D|5-5-4-3|
A|2~-----3~-----4~-----5~|        the bass climbs down,if you want   A|5-5-4-3|
E|0~-----1~-----2~-----3~|        to climb down with it this is it:  E|3-3-2-1|

Just before the main riff, all the guitars and the bass play this:

E|---------|
B|---------|
G|--4---8--|
D|2-4-5-8-2|
A|2-2-5-6-2|
