I can hear the bass..
Ahhaha
Darn! i was going to say it :D
Ahaha so fucking funny never heard that one !
Disgusting
When you realise how awesome is that with bass. I mean I never understood why the hell they turned bass down. If you were going to turn the bass down, why did you even let Jason to play?
Alright I'm calm...
Was this recorded in Australia?
its for the guitar players yo....
hahah xD
You jerk, I nearly swallowed my tongue. Sounded like a fricken dying duck.
I am a guitarist and this is confusing as hell this way.
What? How? Are you also confused when you play yourself? it's the same thing :)
Nearly 20 years of playing. Several years of watching CZcams videos. This is the first set of examples that I've seen where the video is flipped to help you better see what's being played. You don't have to do that thing in your brain where...okay...his hand went to the left three frest, so I have to move mine right three frets. Fucking cool.
Burn Blister To me it still feels upside down. In my mind i picture the guitar the right way
Im feelin it too, man!
Burn Blister considering I've had a guitar teacher opposite me teaching me stuff, and watched countless CZcams videos teaching me stuff, and watched my self in the mirror playing....I find it much easier just watching it then normal way. This is entirely too confusing
I use normal settings on Rocksmith so to me this is flipped.
Exactly.. I'm a guitar teacher and this caused my brain to melt.. but it's useful for those people who complain that the 'tabs are the wrong way round'..
Look..... it's Jirk Hammfield!
Kames Hetmett.
BrandonWendt2 jirk hetmet
It's Kirk Hammet and James Het....ohhhhh now I get it !!
Jark Hemmet
Hamm Field haha
I've seen many covers of many songs on CZcams but this is on of the rarer ones. Covering a song properly with no improvisation and no mistakes even on the solo. A new bench mark. Looking forward to seeing more.

JamPlay is an instruction video/publishing company so they would have no interest in putting impov in. With that being said, for a tutorial this is BY FAR, the best tutorial I have ever seen. I assume whoever is playing is session musician of some sorts. - Tangent time! *TLDR: Knowing a session guy, they make no money.* Touring/session guys can really get screwed financially, it really is a shame. When I was in college I had an econ class with the guy wdho was maybe mid 40s, and I overheard him talking about music, and later on I was put in a group with him. We got to talking about music and he told me that he just retired from pro music. He was a session guy/touring musician since his early 20s, and he said that while it is fun, and you will own just about any instruments you want, and travel to crazy places, *the money is not there.* The list of bands that he toured with was everything from pop to country to metal, it was crazy. His words were something along the lines of "I got sick of waking up and not knowing what city I was in, and waking up as old as I am now with no family or house. I knew it was time to stop." After a semester of talking with him daily and doing school work, I never did ask to jam with him, and I still somewhat regret it.
one of the best metal song...PERIOD !
Playing 0.75 or 0.5 speed is helping me fixing several details I have been missing since always when playing this song. Extremely helpful video. Thanks a lot.
Finally someone who does a POV.
I never EVER understood why anyone would show it differently as how you do it!
Thanks for this!
1:45 I want one of these guitars that plays drums as well...
I love that he alternate picks Kirks part but downpicks James 🤘🤘
what are you talking about
Matthew Perry James recorded the entire album himself, excluding the solos.
Yeah, James recorded It all excluding solos, since Kill em All to Black Album. Kirk started recording guitars in load album
Kirk down picks as well though.
@@josh18230 downpicking is the easiest way to play guitar
When you consider the year Metallica was writing this stuff , you have to wonder what the hell were they possessed by ? Lol
Amazing
Cliffs passing had a lot of influence on ...And Justice For All
I’ve considered the year...it doesn’t make me wonder what they were possessed by
Nah, that comment would be fitting if you were talking about Slayer in 83 or even more about Slayer in 84 releasing Hell Awaits. Even Metalheads werent ready for that shit, imagine being a non metalhead hearing that for the first time. Pants were definitely shat.
@Psyche takes more than just music theory to write a good song
@Psyche lol rekt
You have some serious talent , amazing . Your timing is amazing dude .
Metallica is in my opinion the greatest band of all time .
its not just your opinion, its a fucking fact.
Bismarck I was waiting a hate comment under yours but instead i got a really big smile on my face well fucking done
i want my playgirls back newsted. you hear me? btw nice touch around 3:00 on the bass i never caught it until i saw this video. no leave the bass just how it is in the mix its perfect .
Bismarck I'm sorry but Metallica may be up for greatest metal band.. they're in the running. But they're not even close to greatest ever. That would be Floyd or zeppelin or stones
Bismarck than you have shitty opinions
Amazing! you actually play lots of licks that Hammet himself completely forgot God knows why. Greetings from Buin, Chile.
Rock on bro.
holy shit, you nailed that solo. Kirks best imo. Good job
Bo Ek Listen to the Shortest Straw Solo again. I'm not saying you have bad taste but that solo is awesome. Pinch harmonics, natural harmonics...it has a lot of techniques used in it.
av3nger3 My personal favorite is Disposable Heroes. It sounds the coolest to me, and ive heard guitar players bag on it for being too ADD, but I think its awesome how the drums are the instrument that kind of transitions between sections.
Imho, Frayed Ends solo is kirk's best.
I gotta agree with Max on this one. Disposable Heroes is just a great song, and the solo is outstanding. I would like to add Orion in general.
I'd go for dyers eve solo
Trust me, Blackened will feel like slow motion when you get a hang of the rhythmic anomalities, no matter how fast you play it. Been thinking about making a vid where I'd throw in a suggestion on how to perceive the rhythm in those anomalous rhythms, the idea being to give a full idea of what's going on - when you know all those quirks, it's only a matter of filling them with notes. I wouldn't so much teach how to play it - this video does it. :) Instead, show how to perceive it.
The pause to the the train sound in the solo (4:49) literally kills me.
Dat DownPicking :O nice work
awesome!
awesome!
I still can't get over of how amazing this solo is... Even years after having already listened to it.
WOW! One of the best covers I've seen of this song. And one of the only covers to play that crazy reversed intro at the beginning. Not even Metallica plays that intro at shows lol
Gorgeous Gadot I feel you. The intro just keeps building into something epic till the riff kicks in. A shame they don't play it
GreekGuru74 they cant play it,you need at least 4 guitars for it
GreekGuru74 not only do they need 4 guitars, the whole damn track is recorded then played in reverse
Ojalá la línea de bajo hubiese quedado grabada así de intensa en el original "...And Justice For All" 🎸 💿
POV guitar lov it!!!!!!
dude i wish i could like your comment a million times! seriously. After watching a "POV" guitar video like this, its so much easier to actually see whats being played! Loved it! Picked up my ltd explorer and shredded that solo very easily! My problem is finger placement and when to bar stuff or not. So I kind of suck at soloing. But this is sweet and helpful!
***** POV neck pain edition. :D
Amazing bro, you nailed it. This is such a hard song that people get wrong and your playing was flawless!
Flawless victory
More like flawed loss
One of the best playings of this song i ever had The pleasure of listening to
Man this put a smile on my face!! God Damn I wish I could play Like that!!!
That intro is amazing... This one of the best musics ever made! Your cover honor this master piece!
God job!
Congrats from Portugal! 👍💪🇵🇹
У меня нет слов, настоящий профессионал. Сколько людей соло выкладывали в интернет, из них большая часть не сыграла все так чисто
Ладно интернет, мне кажется, сам Кирк это соло никогда так чисто не играл x)
Wow ! This cover song is so well played, The harmonick part at the beginning is so sickly well decomposed, i never new how they made the intro sound like that. Awesome job !
The beginning of Blackened, on the album, is actually;
1) A short passage that they recorded
2) Flipped it in reverse (backwards)
3) Used it like that to fade into the beginning of the song
On this vid, he's just showing how you could play along to it in real time. But the real beginning you're hearing on the album, is in reverse (backwards).
I think even Metallica doesn't play this song so good as this dude
They don't...especially Lars. My friend and I both left the last show of theirs that we saw about halfway through, mostly because it sounded like a shitty cover band.
autotech1011 LOLOL so edgy
autotech1011 Lol you're full of shit.
No you didn't. But thanks for the tale. Metallica (for Metallica fans) are fucking incredible live.
When I hear new Metallica music, it sounds like a band that wants to sound like Metallica. The lyrics just make me cringe and they have some cool riffs, but the songs aren't the same.
I like that you also included Jason Newsteds part in the video ;)
4:00 - 4:20 I'm sure I hear a third, rhythmic guitar part in the background, unless its just the bass, but if it is it's just about the only bass part in the entire album they left audible
It is a third guitar but live the bass player plays it
Ahh ok thanks c:
Man, after all these years, this song still is 🔥
Very well done. This is my favorite Metallica song and I still have trouble trying to understand some of the riffs. Thank you for this.
I've heard that the intro was actually played, then put in reverse, but I have seen videos similar to this that actually play it through like it sounds in reverse. This is an incredible video. Very informative. It's kind of cool that you turned down the distortion so we can clearly hear the guitars!
Would be perfect but there's bass
TrevorClark_37 lmao
Zodasg who fucking cares it’s still a good cover and I like the bass in it
@@sebbyplayz0049 He's being ironic.
you sir are a god... I've played in a Metallica tribute band for 3 years and I try my BEST to be as note for note as possible... but this is 100% accuracy!
All 6:34 was a pleasure to watch!
So Kirk just switches guitars in the middle of the song?
Yeah Im pretty sure he does.
For the record, probably
How can there be 229 dislikes to this video? It just Proves that there are haters and trolls just to embellish in hating and trolling. This video is Brilliant and awesome to watch and learn. Great Job, Sir.
Who fucking down votes this. Song, tone, all correct.
Dragon Punx A jealous punk
Because it's a fucking advertisement for overpriced lessons for kids.
People with bad taste in music.
People who don't get it downvote this song.
maybe people who turned the phone upside down to see this stupid video properly thought they were up-voting.
I've always loved how this video gives you the perspective as it is when you look at the guitar.Makes it SO MUCH easier...to me anyway
Dang it boy, you played this as the studio version. I don't even think Metallica can come that close on their own riffs. Well played JamPlay, well played.
it IS played backwards on the recording, but the story is they recorded it like normal and Jason suggested reversing it. There are recordings of it re-reversed (i.e., like they recorded it) on CZcams and I learned from that, then practiced it like I played it here. One of the camera guys suggested we do it the way we did because he saw a Metallica tribute do it live and thought it sounded cool.
Put the speed down to 0.75 or 0.5 to make it easier to hear all the different notes!
I love that binding around the fretboard of those ESP guitars. Good video!
that song fucking kicks ass
Greatest song ever, greatest guitare demo and mix !!
You fuckin smashed that ... Perfect all round
Super cool and trippy to see both your hands doing the exact same thing in both clips, especially the right hand!! It looks like it's the same clip duplicated. That's some consistency right there
Nice.. I was playing it Wrong ..I've always like Kirks guitar Riffs
This is Jason's riff
***** Yeah with James together. But generally it was Jason's idea.
frayedman420 Yet he received no writing credit?
Hmmm . . .
Kay He got writing credits for blackened lol
Jason had a cassette tape that he put he's baselines and base riffs and stuff on like all the others did. And Jason put he's on and James heard this riff, but it was a lot more articulate then the riff in the song there's a video on CZcams with Jason talking about it. But Jason got writing credit in the guitar tab book.
2:42 My favorite part from the song. This is also a very neat camera angle you have here. I've never seen it from this perspectrive and it really helps versus watching somebody mirrored.
I can has settings?
Exactly!
My thoughts also!
Everybody should record those videos like this. The guitarist eye view. Makes it so much better to see what's going on.
now deaf people can feel how much heavenly that intro
Ty for playing the entire cover, including the fade in solo at the begging. It seems your the only one that can play the fade in.
so fucking clear and helpfull...thanks man
I thought I had a good ear and had this song down, but I never noticed that low b flat in the main riff. Thanks!
Just realized how bloody complicated this is!!!
It took some getting used to to learn the song from this camera angle. Usually I like the straight front shots, but after a few minutes, I think this camera angle works really well too. Gosh it's fast. I play blues rock, classic stuff so this is working my forearm on my picking hand big time. Thanks!!
My arms hurt.
Fav solo right here
*3/10*
Bass too loud
Frederick Ironheart MORE COWBELL 👍🏻
It's supposed to be this way. The studio version hasn't been perfectly mixed so everyone is used to listen this song without the bass. Well, I think this is better 😊
@@jayrajkolhatkar2269 we called it r/wooosh
I wouldn't call that a whoooosh, it's a bit of extra info and there hasn't been any "ur an idiot kil urself" or such
@@joerhoden9927 I have a fever and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL
The top down view is awesome! You get the players viewpoint instead of the observers' viewpoint. The split screen is genius as well. Solid rhythm guitar, and the leads sounded as if Kirk had played them himself. One thing missing, there is a 3rd guitar playing rhythm during the 2 guitar part melody/harmony just before the guitar solo. E5-D5-C5-B5 in 4/4 & 2/4 time respectively. But overall this is one of the best 'how to play it' videos. Good work.
IMO, the production on the "And Justice" album is so dry and harsh, they managed to make incredible metal songs like this into a painful listening experience.. But this vid cleanly exposes the beautiful guitar work underneath the grating and abrasive sound of the studio cut.. It's like hearing a whole new song! And it's fucking awesome! If only the production values of the first 4 albums had lived up to the quality of the music.. it really is a fucking shame. They should have re-recorded everything in the early 90's before James' voice peetered out.
I like the sound of the album
very well done! Its also the first time I have seen the "POV" used which makes it nice. To those who say "you are playing it wrong blah blah blah..." use these tutorials as a guide and not necessarily a note for note transcription. I find lots of "mistakes" in books all the time but just play the song the way you hear it and use these lessons to fill in the parts you need. Simple, and no one gets hurt.
Did you know the intro is actually a section recorded backwards that's why it sounds so funky
That's the best fucking Blackened cover of all time, , just flawless
Great demonstration... but on the record there's not such "Kirk Hammett" rhythm guitar. All rhythm, melodic and harmony guitars are played by James. Therefore, you should name guitars as James 1, James 2, James 3 and so on.
How is that possible what you wright?? When they make a Live Concert, there is only 1 James on Stage. And the Songs Sound Live pretty much like the Studio Versions.
Karl S. But this is not a live version: it's the studio version. Before the Black album, James recorded all harmony and rhythm guitars. So no Kirk there. It's, as I stated before, James 1, James 2 and so on.
Also, live versions almost always lack of one guitar that puts lots more depth to the whole song. Just listen carefully.
aruizislas I know what you mean. When i seach for Tabs on Songster ist always like, James 1, James 2... But i never undertod whats the Point behind that. I was always thinking that the early Live Versions Sound better that the Studio Versions.
Karl S. It only let people know the material you're actually transcribing. Live versions usually just have a certain part of the studio recording.
I understand what you're saying. However, what I'm playing here (and teaching in the lesson) is based on how they divided parts live- so the top video really IS what Kirk has played (which, except for certain harmonies and the solo, is mostly right in line with James). And of course they typically don't bother performing the intro, that's just a track. The idea I'm going for is for anyone in a 2-guitar band to accurately recreate what Metallica do live, since in some of their recorded songs there are so many guitar parts it can be hard to decide what to leave out when performing
Nice use of the Strat for the solo. Respect for the details.
Playing intro is pointless, because Metallica recorded it reversed and then played backwards. :)
+Krzysztof Urban they still play it backwards live right! so not pointless at all pure genius on newsteds part all credit due to him and his ideal also to reverse it
They have never once played the intro live. It's recorded
Just the best cover I've ever seen.
So far it is the best performance I have ever heard.
That lead tone is almost spot on! Amazing!
dude your guitar tone and however you did the drums both sound so fucking badass through my speakers.
I was always a bit afraid of this song...but after seeing this video I decided to learn it. It takes time but it is possible :-). The key thing is to start slow and learn it 100%...then build up the speed. All the down picking is the hard part...your arms will be sore but only for a short time. Today I can play it 2-3 times in a row without problems and I am nothing more than a average player. And now when I master this one..many of the other Metallica songs are much easier to play.
Best video on the internet for learning this song. Great work
Best guitar work ever by Kirk and James . Love his song
James is a monster, I have no clue how he plays these riffs and sings at the same time.
Whole thing is spot on, but that solo is next level!
The cherry on the top of the cake? The great bass line you added. Congrats man, fucking cool video.
Damn, never have i thought that the upside down version of guitar lesson is more pleasing to watch.....but this song is one hell of a thing.....difficult.....and that downpicking is sick! Awesome editing and playing!!
Thank you for nailing that opening riff!!
wow man! this is the best online lesson ever! could you please make more Metallica song lessons just like this video? it will be very much appriciated. thank you. :)
the most accurate blackened cover .good job
thankyou for the helping me express myself musically shannon bilder you are an inspiration..Greg makris
those time signatures. Legendary song.
hey man, thanks! it's great to hear from someone who knows the pain of getting this together.
i thought the upside camera was a stupid idea at first, but my god does it help! great playing too.
One of my favorite riffs of all time!
Nailed that solo. Bloody hell.
The labeling refers to who plays what live, based on watching just about every live clip found on CZcams from the release of the album through late 2011.
In the very first riff,I always try to do alternate picking on the E-B flat thing,so you can save a bit of energy.Otherwise,you have to palm-mute pretty much all of this riffing
Blackened with bass ! Great !!!
MARVELLOUS METALLICA THE BEST BAND IN HISTORY !!!
Brilliant. Nice to hear it with bass - so much better!
This is filthy good. I like the camera angle which makes more sense that straight on.
It's so tricky to nail all the time signature changes in this song. Nicely done.
Fantastic job on one of Metallica's finest! That song gets me going every single time!
I gotta say, I play guitar just for hobby, I'm kinda experienced (I can play master of puppets with only downpicking for example), but damn, blackened's main riff... i couldn't figure that out after hearing and hearing and hearing, and watching tutorials and so... it's so hard for me to make it sound right!!
I went to metallica's first time they ever landed in Australia and the album was AN JUSTICE FOR ALL...it was at Newtown new south wales. around about 20 minutes before metallica the crowd got that intense we all become that wild sydney city POLICE rounded up a helicopter also THE RIOT POLISHED and then only you had to of been there just to honestly seen and witnessed it...the crowd went fucken ballistic and I loved every single minute from start to the end of it....i truly cannot say much more than they are the GODS OF HEAVY METAL FULL STOP..
That solo was bang on.
