i USUALLY NEVER PUT ANY COMMENTS ON ANYTHING, JUST A PRINCIPLE FOR ME... BUT TODAY I GOT TO BREAK THE RULE !!! AS A GUITARIST, YOUR WORK IS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION... I WAS IN A WAVE OF STAGNATION, NOW IT S DONE !! THANK YOU SO MUCH. KEEP IT ON !
Great to hear man. Getting out of stagnation is huge.
totally agree mate... absolutely loving your videos... totally rejuvenated this failed guitar-geezer... the wife hates u though... lol
The-Art-of-Guitar on one, does Kirk actually pick tap?
junior lupercio i think he does in the last solo
CAPS ARE COOL AM I COOL NOW TOO THANK YOU
but can you teach us james hetfield's "wide stance" technique?heh.
“YEAHH”
Lesson #1:- "ARE YOU ALIVE?!?!?!"
LESSON #2:- "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALIVE?!?!?" \m/
I think this stance is to assist his vocals.
@@user-di7re6fw1g I think it was moreso for the way he had his guitar hanging so low on his body. James stands up straight when recording vocals in the studio.
James is an awesome riff and song writer
The best right hand in fucking universe, also he was good writer, James is the best
@@pabloAntonioZeWsi was? still is
I know it's preference but I think he's the best rhythm guitarist ever and no one really comes all that close
lil bro before dave
James and Kirk simply mix together perfectly. You just can't separate them. James could have left since late 80s and made successful solo career. Or, he and Lars could have replaced Kirk with one, among thousands, deity-level lead guitarists out there. Why not? One can only guess. The fact is James and Kirk have been rocking for more than 3 decades, and still doing it together.
You forgot the 2 most important Hetfield techniques.. His powerchord, which he grabs with his pinky instead of his Ring finger. And his picking technique. He used 3 fingers to hold his pick, that's why he has that power behind his fast palmmutes.
the pinkie thing doesn't make a difference
@@stuartthehuman5280 it does affect playing so it’s worth mentioning
Many guitarists use their pinkies to fret power chords. I used to use my ring finger until I noticed James and Kirk, as well as Jeff Hanneman of Slayer, using their pinkies. I think it allows the fretting hand to relax a little bit more, at least for me.
@@triad5766 yeah for impersonators.
@@triad5766 not really lol it’s not a “technique”
AOG: *covers a Kill Em All technique and says it's Kirk's or James's*
Dave Mustaine: *screams internally*
😂😂 love this vid, I'm learning tons!!
^this.
@marc ramirez Actually that isn't entirely true. He wrote the song with his former band.... but when he brought it into Metallica, the song was reworked by him and James... so James added parts, Dave modified parts... etc.. the finished product was a collaboration. But yea that main riff was Dave. Also, the lyrics were completely rewritten by James. The original song was about sex... just like The Mechanix. Dave was obsessed with sex, I think. James really had no interest at all in writing about sex. It was a total cliche in rock and roll at the time.
Because it's technique is not writing
For anybody wondering, I've played guitar for over 25 years. This is the quintessential video to learn their style. He does a very good job.
James Hetfield is a rhythm master \,,/
DeepSpaceNinja the riff master
\m/
End of the intro Master of Puppets riff cycle isn't 2--0--- it's 2--1-- (6th string)🤘🏻(opening decending riff)
Thanks. Pretty sure Art taught it the right way in a separate Master video showing all the things people typically screw up
It's weird to watch this video and the one about Megadeth techniques.. It feels like you're doing a tutorial on how I play, because back in the day I learned to play by playing Metallica and Megadeth. Now, 20 years later, I haven't actively listened to those bands for years, so it's weird to realize how nearly everything I play is still based around this stuff :)
Same, also had this with the Beatles video.
Same here. I thought many of the things I saw from Metallica and Megadeth were basic (I'm not properly trained) and I just found out many were details very particular to these bands.
I've finally found the technique Kirk used in the "Fade to Black" and "One" solo that I liked but didn't previously know what it was called, which was the "Single String Scale Patterns". I'm really grateful, because it gave me a deeper understanding of the band, which was already deep by itself.
Glad to see another great player praising Kirk's amazing skills instead of puting him down for no good reason. well done.
Ikr, kirk is just amazing in my opinion
You should do tom morello!
Already knew James was an accomplished, amazing guitarist but damn, this video made me respect good ol sloppy Kirk more.
I hope we get to see dimebag darrell's techniques soon. Keep up the awesome work!! \m/
Be southern and drink way too much whiskey
@@twstdlzard9659 💀
Dude, this is an incredible crash course!! Each little section you show is something any guitarist can focus on and spend weeks/months practicing until they move onto the next. I’m just getting back into guitar after about 10 years of not playing and I can’t wait to spend the next 10 practicing everything you so masterfully laid out. You’re an incredible teacher. These techniques can be so overwhelming especially when you see people just going full speed with it, but the way you approach each technique at the top and show us how to progress is such an incredible gift.
Thank you for the inspiration and the confidence 🙏🙏
Underrated comment. Totally agree - Mike's content is an absolute treasure trove!
Yes it is. Very good. I've played Metallica for over 20 years and he hits the nail on the head right here.
Greatest technique, James's downpicking
Love it man. We played "Am I Evil" at our junior high talent show. I blew away that solo!!
This is such an informative series. Great job!
Patrick Tracy Respect the goatee.
That part of the fade to black solo is just awesome
2 DECADES AGO? you look 30, when did you start playing guitar? at the age of 5?
John Price Hehe. Thanks man. I appreciate it. I'm old. And stay off my lawn. ;)
Haha I'll try, but no promises
My guitar adventure also started from Metallica's And Justice For All and tape as well but I'm bit older than you I guess
Hell I was born in 89' which was about the end of their heyday but still I grew up listening to all of Metallica's old stuff around 97' thankfully because that same year I moved into the house n neighborhood I'm still at now...but before me and my family moved to San actual neighborhood I lived right off a main road and had no kids around me that was my age....but in 97' I met this boy who was like 6yrs older than me who lived just 2 houses down from me and he had an older brother which was older too and that's who I would hear Pantera, Metallica shit like that but the funny thing I remember from then was for the longest time i had no idea what the band members looked like I would just always hear their music being played but yea 97' was around their "Load & Reload days" lol I remember us listening to those albums too and I remember thinking Mann have they changed!! Because I was thinking it sounded more bluesy and just rock n roll but at the that time I did enjoy "Until it Sleeps & King Nothing" but yea I got into Metallica at a younger age but it was already after their best albums had passed from their Black Album and back to Kill Em' All but to me those albums were fresh and new lol
Your clean sound is perfect
Thanks. Just add some chorus and bam!
i'ts an overly trebled out strat its horrible. And im a HUUUGE fan...
These videos are so helpful and exactly what I want.
I marvel at what those guys accomplished. What they’ve done is literally the coolest thing anyone has done in my lifetime. Just my opinion. Tremendous tremendous song writing.
You have seriously saved my life with that picking technique on #1. My buddy and I are wanting to learn Hardwired, but I do the lead so I am trying to work on the solo. Now that I have seen how you pick, I will work on that!
super insightful video! really appreciate the details over the techniques behind the music, rather than the showing note for note the tunes... impressive know-how!
My eyes hurt when I see you playing those pull offs on the 15th fret with your pinky.
My pinky hurts when I play those pull-offs. haha
These videos are gold.. I’ve been watching these for months, and today I had an epiphany while watching this for probably the 20th time.I’ve been using these little techniques out of these videos every single day, and I’ve been improving so much especially over this past year. You could read tabs, or watch tabs for songs you like (as a self taught guitarist) but you really break down and explain each and every little lick, and give us an opportunity to look and listen to it in a completely different way.. I’m 100% self taught(never had a single lesson anyway), and I’ve learned more from watching you than have from anyone in my whole life. Thank you brother.
Dude, been binging on your content.. it's so relatable and informational that you managed to stand out from all the other guitar channels I follow. Subscribed!
Really like your style on all your vids Mike. Your instruction, skills and humble demeanor are awesome. Great job man!
Dude you are soo knowledgeable and you nail the crap out of everything! Very inspiring! I’m really glad I found your channel thank you very much!
Mister, can you please do a tony iommi greatest techniques video?
It’s up now. :)
Fuck yeah! Iommi is the ultimate guitar god
Best video on CZcams - full-stop. Mike you are a machine!
Wow.. super good and packed with great stuff to work on!!!! Amazing sound!!!
Awesome video! Thank you so much. Great job too, btw. Excellent!
This was posted years ago yet this is the first time I come across this video, and I just want to say thank you!! This channel is a blessing for a big Metallica fan who's trying to get better at guitar
It shows how much effort you put into these things, can't thank you enough, just watching the first 5 minutes opened my eyes to a lot of Tallica nuances that I've always noticed while hearing the songs but couldn't replicate while playing
Thank you, really
I was gonna say something along these lines, but you said it perfectly. Thank you, and thanks Mike!
Can you analyze about #SynysterGates and Publish a video
Really love your videos. Something about them...they are VERY easy to follow compared to all the other channels. I will be practicing at home, starting tonight with your "Spider Walk".
Love this series!!
man, you have great technique. I would love to see some Metallica cover made by you
+antropomorfizacja Check out the very first video on this channel.
Thanks. 8 years ago , you were very good too. Difficult to imagine better version of that. I have no questions:)
how your teaching seems to make sence i noticed with the added notes doubles sounds amazing thak you for takeing some time to post a great video. i will be warching more later.
Michael
thank you ! very informative !
you are very very clean and fast !
Awesome work man. This is one of the more helpful videos out there.
I'm glad this video exists! Metallica get a lot of shit for their playing, and agreed, they're not in their prime anymore. But this video probably proves how technically tight Metallica is (at least for its own time and genre) than a lot of other "Metal" bands.
I dunno...Hardwired showed they still have chops.
They sounded pretty good on the hardwired tour to be honest.
Metallica was seemingly the greatest of all time until around 1991 or after. They have sounded pretty washed up ever since.
I have permanently put this video into my watch list where it will stay for reference. Great tutorial on a few techniques. Thank you!
Excellent insights - Thanks
Awesome help dude! Keep it up!
Just learned everything I need to rock metallica style. Great thanks to you!!!
The-Art-of-Guitar You did an amazing job with this video. I wish you had of been around when I was a teenager, you just dispelled all the hardest licks I could never understand back then. I think you have a knack for teaching;)
Thanx so much for osting this!!!!! Its helped me tremendously!
Honestly this video is really good for beginner guitarist that's why I like this I have all these people out here telling you to learn the techniques for songs and work up to them or something along those lines they never really say what techniques you need to use I know that if i practice alot and work my way up to these techniques it will help me learn metallica songs it gives me guidelines which is great for all those people that like to play guitar and want to learn metallica and can't play any of there songs all the way through
These technique videos are a genius idea. I've learned so much from them. This is how learning guitar should have been presented from the beginning. I'll never stop watching your videos. Thank you so much for presenting guitar learning in a fun, practical and interesting way.
I enjoyed this episode very much and will for sure come back to it when I get better at lead, because right now I don't have any experience with lead. I know a lot of intervals, but I don't know any scales yet except maybe a pattern or two of the major scale. Thank you for video.
Continue uploading this type of video. Very helpful thanks
Kirk Hammett picking style...
(Basically... Flip off picking)
Even as a more advanced guitarist I guess, I love watching your videos about different techniques. Been watching this channel for years now. Cheers Mike
Very cool stuff definately going to practice these techniques.
Awesome channel!sick tones!
really strong techniques well done sur!
Old video, doubt you ever see this. You have supplied me with some of the best tips ever. Everytime I watch a video of yours I know something and more importantly implement that into a lifes lesson on my crappy playing. Thanks man, you really are a great teacher. BTW, I am almost old enough to be your dad LOL
After years of watching CZcams vids, this is the very first time I have seen a zero dislikes video! That has got to be "Some kind of"... record, lol! And it is 40 min. long!! You are the man, congrats!
God that's unbelievable :0 Metallica has so much guitare tricks :0
You're amazing, thank you ;)
just wanted to be the first to put a cheeky wah comment! 😁
+Kay Be my guest. :)
Lets not go there .... lol
this video was suuuuper helpful holy crap thx dude
Very useful stuff !!
Hey man I love the channel and I’m glad videos like this are available to the public who want to learn how to play like their favorite guitarists and bands, that being said I was wondering is it possible for you to do a Greatest Guitar techniques on Slayer or Exodus, because I would really love to learn how to play like Gary Holt.
awesome teaching!🎸🎸😄
Great stuff man thanks
Great stuff ! your channel is very good.
Mate your knowledge of Metallica (and many others) is crazy! I've been playing for a long time and you just cement a whole lot of things together in one lesson ... I have so many new techniques to work on!! Keep up the good work ... I'm trying to turn all my guitar geek friends on to your channel.
great video dude!
Your awesome and great at breaking this stuff down for someone who already has basic knowledge quickly yet thoroughly. Thanks man i appreciate this,i wish i had access to information like this when i was 14 lol.
Gorgeous clean sound there.
Same Michael B. I also never comment on anything. I think maybe one other time ive commented on a youtube video. Ive been playing guitar now for almost 40 years (wow im getting old lol). Anyways, i also grew up on Metallica. Im like the Metallica King among my friends, and i have to say that you are a GREAT teacher. Just the way you talk and explain. I actually learned some things that i never knew, not only on some Metallica songs but also on techniques. And also, like Michael B's comment, Ive also been in kind of a slump or whatever you want to call it but now i cant wait to try out a few of these things. Im sure it will snap me out of this Bla that im in. Thanks and keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!!
New subscriber...love the channel! Thanks for all the info. Please consider doing a Greatest Guitar Techniques for Periphery. Thanks!
really really damn helpful. Thank you so much!!!
Master is one of my down picking warmups to loosen up the wrists. Definitely recommend playing that beginning riff over and over. Really improves hand stamina.
I know this is an old video but it’s absolutely excellent. You kick ass bro
i'm so glad this channel exist much love
Hey Mike! I love these technique series 💯 Can you do one of Tom Morello? I couldn't find one and think it would be awesome 🔥
Great video! Could u pls do separate video about Down Picking??? Some practicing tips and so on.
It's very nice feeling, when i watch this video first time, and play all along with you :D
I thoroughly enjoyed that!. I am a big Metallica fan, I learned to play guitar by learning their songs and techniques lol. Really, I think the selection of techniques for the video is just perfect, u nailed it man!. Anyways, just wanted to leave a comment to say thanks cause I am a long time subscriber and I think your lessons truly are among the best on youtube. Keep it up man! I think you just made me a better guitarist hahaha! :)
he explains everything so good in a way where a beginner can almost understand, i love it
Cool vid. Very detailed in the right places. New sub bra;)
great !! thancks !
12:23 That part on bass is literally hell; Cliff is a god.
Cliff was pretty sloppy though
@@Walamonga1313 no
@@Walamonga1313 his tone was sloppy.
It's the easiest riff in the song. Are you playing it the way he played it?
Never had a single lesson, just bought a guitar and started figuring things out on my own. I started out playing KISS, Detroit Rock City being the first song I learned all the way through with the lead, and moved on to Metallica (one of my favorites) and found that the speed of Kirks lead was just too intimidating but that James' rhythms were my speed. It was good for a long time but lately I've been frustrated at the fact that I've been playing on the same general level for at least ten years. Seeing you break down the techniques used in Kirks leads makes me see it's nothing I haven't done already but just a bit faster or in some cases that it's not as complicated as I initially thought. Great to break the monotony and start making progress again. Between your channel and the bits of music theory I've been trying to learn lately my playing has improved drastically.
This video was so helpful. I want to be able to sweep pick.
you are a huuge inspiration! thank yoo so much
You are amazing Mike.
Excellent video I found it informative and inspiring. Your playing is very clean which is refreshing as far as utubers go. I'm defently going to check out your web site.
Although I learned the rythm techniques by trial and error, your lead tips are top notch and I couldn't get over that hump on my own.
Awesome video. I love Metallica they’re a huge influence. Great to learn some of their techniques. Keep up the good work
I've never even touched a guitar in my life but this was super enjoyable to watch.
Thank you!
11:54 - Actually, studio version of this riff is alternate picked :D Such bad luck that you took just this riff.
I really love this video, these series of techniques and details are awesome. I wish I had watched them when I started playing the guitar.
In this video you just explained to me what i'm listening for the most of my life :D
You are very inspiring and kick ass at guitar! I would love to see a Fade to Black guitar cover from you.
Very good video
