- This will be the last one of the Metallica series. It's not that I hate Load, I was just going through a tough time in my life when it was released so I kind of avoid it. :/ More to come from other artists. Thanks for watching all 5 of these. :)

I'm waiting for the st. anger one. Just so that people can realize that even though the songs arent that well written, most of the riffs are killer, and sound insane in drop c.
The guitar blend together and the drop tuning makes it sound extremely muddy.
Okay, Kirk. But can you play Some Kind of Monster?
Purify and My World, man. So underrated. Sweet Amber too. Fuck yeah man
@@Carbon2861996 no, the notes in between will fuck with him
@@prometheustv6558 That's mainly because of the shitty production quality. Look at System Of A Down's breakthrough album Toxicity. It's a very well produced album, yet 99% of their discography is in Drop C
Next video:
Songs to play if a random guy/s give you a guitar.
Yeah, that would be good!
The Loss and Curse of Reverence by Emperor
Acoustic and electric version
#1: SMOKE ON THE WATER
@@tarkus1056 Underrated comment
Hearing these riffs played on a single guitar really makes you appreciate the overdubs and the layering.
And the drums
Please do this for Megadeth
yes please
PLEASE YES
YESSSSS
Rust in Peace anyone?
@@benparsons4979 Peace sells first
Death Magnetic next? That album is so underrated and has so many kickass riffs.
Unforgiven solo riff is probably my favorite black album riff. Often overlooked due to it being under one of Kirk's best solos, but that riff is straight beauty
totally agree, unforgiven is just such a nice and heavy thematic song with nice drums, lyrics and guitars
Isn't the solo backing riff the same as the verse riff, though?
@@MKDumas1981 it’s the verse Bass riff played on guitar, for the most part. The verse rhythm guitar part mirrors the vocal melody with an open A string drone underneath, mostly
Yes finally the black album! Are you gonna do load and reload?
Edit: Nevermind I read the description
Do you really like those albums or its a joke?
sucks because they both have some killer riffs on them
I find that peculiar because certain songs, albums, or artists help me through the rough spots, so I remember them forever.
@@Mrsmacieks They do contain some good songs
@@Mrsmacieks come on load and reload are great. What is so bad about them?
I know you're not doing the Load era but if you do ever decide to revisit this series, I'd love to see Death Magnetic/ Hardiwred riffs ranked and performed! Quality content as ever!
I play some of thoes songs differently and I've been playing for over 20 years. Got to love the fact that theres always something new to learn and hear.
Same here, but I did notice he doesn't play The God that failed correctly. This version it is not as interesting as the original version.
Looking forward to the inevitable Peace Sells and Rust in Peace versions of these videos ;)
MEGADETHHHHH
That´s funny, cause i feel like those might be the only two Megadeth albums he would do... Not that the rest is not worth trying, Megadeth is fantastic.
@@antoniocenteno1483 Countdown to Extinction has some pretty good riffs, on par with the Black Album imo
That break riff from the struggle within is so underrated
We have this album to thank for making Metallica as big as they are today. I also believe this album made more people open to heavier music in general.
This entire album is just quintessential rock and metal, banger after banger with beautiful production, style and lyrical content. I completely agree
Prolly the greatest heavy metal gateway album ever made
I feel like don’t tread on me doesn’t get enough love it’s such a heavy song and so unique from what I’ve heard I’ve never heard a metal song incorporate patriotic sound like they did
imo i think that its the song metallica expected to be pooular cuz it sings about snakes and war and thats basically what the album cover is
I’m willing to bet you’re doing a Metallica tribute gig soon and this is your practice
You don’t need to practice Metallica riffs. They’re not megadeth riffs.
@@The_Buff_Guy Yeah Let's pretend that Justice and puppets didn't have insanely hard riffs aight.
I totally guessed No.1 would be Sad But True. Almost 2 weeks ago now I watched the full live stream you did for learning, playing, recording and mixing the whole track. So cool to watch you do all that, it's one of my favourite tracks from that album and I had it in my head for days after watching that video.
Please, make 10 Metallica ST.ANGER Solos Ranked and Performed.
Shortest video ever
Then the 10 best basslines from And Justice For All...
and 10 best lulu riffs
Their isn't any or is that the joke
@@gst013 Justice has some kick ass basslines. No joke, go check out "...And Justice For Jason"
Too bad there won't be any videos for the other albums.
Really sad how sometimes, for some people, music can be ruined by circumstance... :(
SchwartzerAdler pplll
T
Sad but true...
Dude....awesome Metallica videos...watched and enjoyed them all! Thanks you rock man!
I watch your videos but never comment. Thank you for what you do and the time it takes.
This video made me love even more The Black Album
It's so full of great/amazing riffs and moments!
Thank you for uploading this!
I’ve really enjoyed all five of the videos, but I think this was the best. The variety of riffs makes this the most interesting for me.
sad but true, definitely best song on the album. Main riff is bomb as shit.
The only good song on this album in my opinion
smacieks In my opinion, nothing else matters and the unforgiven are way better than Sad but true
One of my favorites along with holier than thou
Like this series! Keep it going man
Great playing and great clean tone
Distorted tone ...
great idea on the series 👍🏻
This metallica series are great thank you for the share and awsome playing and also like your little comments on the videos. I would love to see your other series. Have a nice day from Turkey.
For me the coolest riff from that record is the second riff from Of Wolf & Man, when the rhythm guitar starts on one side of the panning and then the other side enters (E, F, E, b and b flat)
Yes! This and Whenever I May Roam.
This is super helpful for learning through the songs on an album, gives me a great place to start. Great video and totally agree you should do Megadeth
This is incredible.
I bet these songs are so fun to play and easy to learn.
Really love your playing, just felt the sound to crunchy, treblely, think you should have gone more bassy and heavy and whatever people mean when they say "scooped" don't even know if that's how it's spelled ( not my native tongue ), none the less, really fucking awesome dude, you're one of the trullest Metallica playing guitar-man on the plataform, i'm always finding mistakes on other people but you nail pretty much always, keep up the great work!
Aaaaaaaaand i'm done playing every riff you covered, way worse than you did
I was totally going to bet on enter sadman for the #1 haha, nice play !
Keep going, best youtube channel for guitar learning
As a big Metallica fan it was awesome to see this mini-series, I'd love to see another one of these for some other bands
Please consider doing death magnetic and hardwired, theres some absolutely kickass riffs in there
Is it sad but true that this is my favourite album ever? Doing a rundown of riffs from it just made me realise why! 😁🤘 (my fave riff too btw)
Great series! Hopefully you do this but with Pantera, Megadeth, and slayer as well!
Sad But True main riff sounds like something Jerry Cantrell would write
Im sad that this is the Last one. Cayse DM and Hardwired has amazing riffs :/
Sad but true...
The main riff to halo on fire is badass 🔥
Damn, I really liked these and I really like Load. Oh well I hope things got better for you. Maybe you can do Black Sabbath sometime?
Thank u for a Great vid. Would love to see you do one for Def Leppard’s Hysteria. Especially since they r being inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame this year. Thanks again.
My favorite one in the album is the verse riff in Sad But True. So groovy and powerful
Great job. Thanks, btw, the second enter sandman chorus fill is a little different to what you're playing.
Holier, god that failed, struggle, through the never, sad and wolf are all super satisfying to play to me. More so than songs from their other albums, blackened being an exception.
Like always nice video
This is a great end
Pd:Death magnetic
Awesome! It’s sad to see that this will be the last one in the Metallica series, but do you plan on doing the same thing for other bands?
You should keep doing this because I really want to see this for Hardwired to Self Destruct
Just wondering how many people here know West Side Story. ;-)
i want to live in ameri-ca!
1:40 AND THE ROAD BECOMES MY BRIDE
I've never noticed until now that the pre verse riff of The Struggle Within sounds pretty much note for note as the intro riff to Octoclops by Forced Entry.
My no1 favourite Black Album riff is the Through The Never bridge riff, always have a lot of fun playing that part when i play thorugh the song. Closely followed by the Holier Than Thou and Of Wolf And Man main riffs
Yes! I love the sad but true riff it's so heavy!
I use the sad but true main riff as my walk up song in baseball
Those pickups sound awesome! May I ask what they are? What year is the SG?
Cool series!
Dude, the post solo riff in Struggle Within is the best riff in the world!
I loved the accidental harmonic just before the intended harmonic during Nothing Else Matters
#26 Is such an underrated one, it’s reminiscent of Walk by Pantera.
Great video riffs plz do a Mick Mars artist series
This Metallica content is awesome !!! 👏
You should do the solos ranked as well! ;)
this is a cool series / idea. Not a fan of this album but who cares what I think. Keep up the great work!
I love you for give this album and songs like Enter Sandman and Nothing Else Matters the place they deserve (not that i think Sandman should be No.1)
4:19 got to learn that!
That guitar can pierce my soul with all that excess mids.
Stripping it down like this, you can see how much better the riffs are before they did this album.
Like can you imagine James and Lars sitting there like “yup, that’s a good riff, how can we use it” while writing this album. And yet somehow it turned out this great.
dang really surprised the struggle within intro wasn’t higher. that’s my favorite part of the song
Zaacre The intro to struggle within is absolutely one of my favorite intro riffs, but the rest of the song is just so dissapointing to me
I was surprised the Nothing Else Matters verse riff wasn't included. I would have put that quite high up on the list, as I think it's a bit underrated in general.
Great arrangement of my friend of misery bass intro riff
Really cool tone, what amp is that?
What is that tailpiece on the sg I can't find any information about it
Is that a standard SG and what type of amp and effects u using
Were you using pedals effects on your amp?
At least I could finally call the last two, even in order
What pedals did u use in the video?
Can you do the same with solos or licks? That would be fun to see too.
The verse riff of the Unforgiven was missing- would have been in my top five !
4:09 that riff is a goddamn nightmare for me to play, got any tips?
That 🍒Gibson SG is cleannnnnn
Man, Metallica really slowed down after Justice! This album is still really good though. It’s just different.
Have you not listened to anything after justice???
Ruben Jó you gotta listen t death magnetic or hardwired. Both of those have some really fast riffs.
just gotta ask, is the heart in he backround thas been in your last couple of vids a reffrence to KH3?
No it's a sketch one of my young students made.
The real question is how far you’ll take this series!
Until I lap Metallica and end up writing all the riffs for their new album before they get the chance. 😂 No this is the last one for them for now.
Your #22 is MY #1
Wow, i perfectly guessed top 3 :D
The main riff from WIMR is #1 on this album for me
Bummed to read that you won't be doing load/reload. Those are Canon Metallica for me. sucks how music be like that sometimes, though.
megadeth pls
pls can you do it with hardwired?
you should end off the series with death magnetic, tons of awesome underrated riffs in that album
also hardwired
As much as I don't like West Side Story that DTOM riff is sick
do all the big 4
#27 should have been way higher! That one is fun to play.
Rust in peace next?
Time to bust out the wah for 30 metallica solos ranked!
Do the solos next
Two of the best riffs ranked at 29 and 30?! Wow. To each their own I guess 🤷♂️
I'll rather wait for ST. ANGER Riffs instead of Load/ReLoad.
*OH WAIT...* 😂😂
Please do Nirvana next time. Kudos for this one though!
whos ready for tomorrow lol
Oh wait…
(read description)
Gotta do one of this series with Soundgarden, at leaste with their most famous albums (Love, Bmf, SU and DOTUS)
Just no
Why Duesemberg trem is disassembled?
Next do solos?
Do Load please
