"downpick or pussy", "you butchered the fucking solo!!!" Last time I checked, music was a creative outlet. He did not butcher the solo, and so what if he doesn't downpick every note. Last time I checked a cover is somebody playing their take on a song. This is actually my first time watching any of his videos, and you know what? I love it. He's creative, he add his own personal touch. If you want the actual song, go look it up, don't waist everybody's time bitching for nothing. And if you see this comment, Neo, I think you do a great job, keep doing what you're doing, man. \m/
Thanks ;) anyway I agree this vid is bad and old but not for the reasons stupid people argue about :) I still think a cover isnt à carbon copy but this solo is bad. I still cant play it downpick anyway xD
Chief Chipstick Could not agree with you more. Music is in itself an outlet for self expression. Covers don't have to be and, in fact, should not be note for note. If you're playing a note for note version of someone else's self expression, it is inheritantly not yours
@shredhead21 a cover is an interpretation. And if not happy, check the original only and don't waste your time with covers ;) guitar playing isn't about copying, it's about playing with our own touch !
Dear everyone who wants to complain:This is a *Cover* not a *copy*.And when you cover, you can use your own style, such as he did:DownpickingPlayed the solo *in his own way.*I shouldn't have to say it again, this is his own style, you should be glad he played the thing cleanly!
Its not that alternate picking is a bad thing when playing Metallica, but it just takes away from the energy that you get from down-picking. Tonally, it sounds a little different. Great cover Bro!
Well, if you're Ola Englund, you could even down-pick the riff. Englund has got a very unorthodox pickup-holding technique that makes every upstroke sound like a downstroke.
I'm pretty sure Kirk Hammet would be disgusted with this comment section. This cover was awesome and a bunch of metal elitists telling the video author how to correctly rendition a song, who can obviously rock it better than all of you, are pathetic. Upload your own cover and do it your way.
MatchboxCody , well said. This guy is amazing , they are all jealous and up themselves. There are no rules and if they don't like they don't have to watch.
Benjamin Morgan you said : No down picking? That's the most important part of JH's sound.. Of course you wouldn't tell the difference..so chill, enjoy the sound of music ;)
José Miguel Baztán I'm completely sure that I'd recognize the alternate picking without having seen the video, the rythm is like a swing with alternate picking, and downpicking sounds a little bit more aggressive, just in my opinion 😅
It sounds great, it's just different, no body gives a shit other than JH nerds.To me the Down Picking is in integral part of his sound, the percussive staccato attack almost raking sound is aggressive and abrasive.
I heard something off right away, not saying this cat didn't rip it but hetfield is all down picking this entire song, you can hear and see this dude isn't down picking
My god, how many people here are questioning about his cover?? About downpick and the solo? get a life people who say that, metallica did covers too you know that!? how about Die,Die my darling? how about Astronomy? How about Whiskey in the jair!? A cover its not necessary be the exactly thing as the original song, my odin people... stop questioning and enjoy!! Every person has a different view and judge about something, but please its a cover and it's fucking awesome!!
"Every person has a different view and judge about something" Well then people have the right to leave their opinion here :) If its not in an abusive way it shouldnt bother you^^
Schwabenprophet I know Prophet, but after all, when a person is going to judge somethig, u just can't be ignorant for saying a commentary after judging something. It doesn't bother me the people judgin him, what bothers me it's, people that doesn't know the concept or the meaning of a cover, and just simple giving a wrong opinion, that, it's clearly seen in every person that knows the meaning of the word "Cover." :) But i agree with you :P
you call it wrong, I call it improvisation in the same key. I'll never understand this way of thinking... Improvisating something is not a disrespect, it's only freedom ! Grow up
Salut Nono ! Je viens de découvrir ta chaine et tu gères un max ! J'ai eu la flemme de lire les (2075 ! ) commentaires avant le mien donc peut-être que quelqu'un te l'a fait remarquer avant mais tu te trompes sur certains accords dans le refrain. J'avais appris la même version que celle que tu joues avec un Guitare Part à l'époque et beaucoup de tabs sur le net sont fausses aussi à ce moment là. Ecoute bien sur l'album c'est pas tout à fait la même chose. Cela dit ça reste très très bien hein !! Continue comme ça j'adore ce que tu fais et merci pour les astuces ! ;) A quand du Techno Death Allemand ??!!! :) Chô !!
haters gonna hate. i am sure this guy is laughing at the ones keep saying "no downpicking? omg". Because i am sure and as he knows, they are the ones who cant even tune their guitars without a tuner. And some of them are saying "you are out of tune". Are you even serious? Not to mention to the fact that Kirk would totally be chocked up with this version of solo. Great work buddy. This is the best cover video i have seen ever.
I can't tune my guitar without a tuner lol! I suffered menieres disease for years which claimed my hearing totally in my left ear and about 30% of my hearing in the other making things,shall we say, difficult lol! HOWEVER,I love learning to play my guitar and I love metal so I'm doing what I can. I can't believe people would rip on a talented guy like this, dudes inspirational as fuck!!!!!
Yeah buddy your right...but it has another sound then and it doesn't sound metallica style ;) and to be honest it is not so hard if you practice long enough haha...me for instance I practice it with a metronome and develop step by step more downpicking speed...now I can't even play it with alternate picking because I am now more used to downpicking haha
One of the best guitarists I have seen on CZcams. 80,000+ subscribers, nearly 400,000 views on this video alone. Not bad for someone that alternate picks!!!!. :~)

5:46 :p i have the same guitar :v yeaaah :D

DOWN, FUCKING, PICKING...
come on dude everybody does it it own way!

Sad but true (I'm 5 years late...shit)

Foda-se irmão

MatchboxCody Well Kirk can't even play it like it was written either so
My left ear loved the intro.
This cover is legit! Your playing style is amazing and your sound is unique! Great job bro! 🤘
The first solo was nicely modified but the second one... I like the original version better :s still a perfect cover bro!
You'are right... It's a good player, but the solo...
you're right. It's an old video, and I was younger. I don't feel the same for music now. Maybe I'll redo it someday ^^
You are a great guitar player
Oh well I didn't notice the date of the video, redo it some day I want to see your new style xD
NeoGeofanatic Good idea, with downpicking this time :P
No down picking? That's the most important part of JH's sound.
Benjamin Morgan One question, if you were not looking at the video but listening to it, would you tell the difference if he was down picking or not?
It's a video, hence the visual and audio media.
Benjamin Morgan you said : No down picking? That's the most important part of JH's sound..
Of course you wouldn't tell the difference..so chill, enjoy the sound of music ;)

loved the tone.!!!
ur awesome :D

That thing that you add in the first solo was...magnificent, you are the best not famous guitar player that i know
Awesome Cover. I loved the creativity with the solos.
Wow, great looking video + great guitar playing = AWESOMENESS!!!
downstrokes only, sir )
you call it wrong, I call it improvisation in the same key. I'll never understand this way of thinking... Improvisating something is not a disrespect, it's only freedom ! Grow up
Wow!!Loved it!!!!
Nice cover bro l love all of your guitars cover really nice jobs on every song you did
6 years now and i still think that that solo you did is the best fucking solo ever
COP22 oh my god... you just reminded me that 2010 was 6 years ago. jeez. it feels like two years ago
Zack Silver yeah it feals weird

Continue comme ça j'adore ce que tu fais et merci pour les astuces ! ;)
A quand du Techno Death Allemand ??!!! :)
Chô !!
That was awesome man!
You change the solos and make them even better! You're amazing man!
haters gonna hate. i am sure this guy is laughing at the ones keep saying "no downpicking? omg". Because i am sure and as he knows, they are the ones who cant even tune their guitars without a tuner. And some of them are saying "you are out of tune". Are you even serious?

ibrahim erol make sure that you're not one of them
the solo was fine in my opinion but the main riff... damn, is downstroke all the time! alternate sounds not good
Respect to anyone who play so well have a big fan base and not using ads in their videos
Hell yeah !!!!
Exelent work! Thank you!!
You should play downpicking ;)
Haters... understand one thing, if you don't like THIS cover, do your cover and show us...
Holy cow! This is one hell of an amazing cover!!! Nice one. I loved your custom solos too!!!
awesome as always
Why do you have to put him down? He plays awesome! Let him be...People can be so rude!
Elizabeth DuChesne , they are jealous is all there is too it. and very rude.
If they are "jealous" they can't be Metallica fans in the first place because they would be jealous of their success.
Down pick dude!
I never said it wasn't good? Its an incredible cover, he's a great player. I was just suggesting down picking to give that metallica feel. Get me?
awesome! that effects and sound, really pretty dude ;)
Clever editing and great cover!
wtf? it is played by downstroke only!
downpicking dude...
why down pick the whole time? alternate takes half the energy and is way more efficient. Can you not alternate pick?
Yeah buddy your right...but it has another sound then and it doesn't sound metallica style ;) and to be honest it is not so hard if you practice long enough haha...me for instance I practice it with a metronome and develop step by step more downpicking speed...now I can't even play it with alternate picking because I am now more used to downpicking haha
Nikola Slovic nikola you´re right, i´ve tried it with dowpicking and the sound its very diferent
Your solos are amazing! The modifications are awesome!

Even James would say 'Yeeeeaah' if he sees what you did to the solo at 5:46! Hats off! Epic!
Super !
