Introduction of Theme in Enter Sandman Ex 3

In the following riff, the slide up to E is moved up to the second beat. It is followed by a familiar descent to Bb from the intro riff. A power chord on F at the end of the measure adds a new element of tension, resolving down to E at the repeat of the riff. The straight eighth-note rhythm is maintained.
