Sorry for being a smartass but, the original recording of MOP doesn't use that much distortion at all, at least compared to modern day metal. This is actually what makes it great, u still have the low mids being clear giving good rhythmic "thuds" creating a stronger rhythm, something which is lost with too much gain. Modern bands compensate this by doing the "djent" sound, where they just play more staccato, so they still get strong "thuds" which was lost by too much gain, or they add more double kick drums to push rhythm harder. Metallica's distortion is more a beefed up hard rock sound. They sound more metal because of multi tracking and mid scooping, not having over the top gain.
As more an an extreme metal head, I’m usually skipping through these videos because they always pop up on my page since there’s a guitar in it. Nice to see that you’re looking into other genres and I hope you continue to pursue more metal riffs!! It’s the coolest music on earth man
@@jazzercise300 yeah, they can do pretty much any kind of music, but I guess that's why metal guitars are made. Maybe if I become a famous guitarist one day, when I kick the bucket I'll get mine put in a museum!
Honestly it’s good that you’re expanding your horizons. Some tips -palm muting -more bass tone -practice Maybe choose a guitar more fit for the genre, fenders are great for classic rock, blues, and jazz but it’s shown up many other guitars when it comes to Metallica esc music
Kirk Hammett uses a strat very frequently its definitely his not main rig but to say a strat can't be used for Metallica is wrong. though i do agree with the other stuff completely
@@scorpions1965 fr, Mikey Piscopo is actually a really good guitar player so it’s fascinating seeing him kinda butcher songs like this, goes to show that the techniques in metal guitar are super different from what he plays
You did a good job. If you're not used to play that type of music it's hard but you just have to work on it. You know the old saying practice, practice, practice.
@@idk9637 well practice practice practice might not be a saying but I like it. My son's learning guitar and I tell him if it was easy everybody would play.
I love this because it just shows how great and diverse music is. I am the complete opposite of you in play style, learned growing up almost exclusively metal, am more often then not downstroking, and almost never without heavy distortion lol. It was rather funny thinking about how this would seem foreign. Coincidentally though I picked up learning some jazz stuff last month so I completely understand this feeling!
The lack of palm muting is forcing me to say nay on nailing it. You did great learning the notes of the riff. And that's just fine, but the palm mute being left out is a significant factor in this riff. Nice effort!
People gotta let this man be😭 he clearly loves learning guitar and we all can be better in some way. Why flame him about palm mutes and distortion and liking Jimi Hendrix?
There's a 99% chance you can't play the simplest metal rift properly, so I wouldn't be talking, mister "if it doesn't have a shit ton of distortion and shredding I don't like it"
Dude got there in 3 hours!? Thats amazing, truly. There's always room for improvement but keep in mind it took James and Kirk years of practicing punk and metal riffs and then WRITING two metal albums before they got to Master of Puppets. For a non metal guitarist you did insanely well.
Palm mute every time you pick the open E and it'll be perfect. Palm muting is super tough if you've never practiced it. Just think of the palm muted position as your default hand position and sort of bounce your hand up when you need to ring out a note or chord. With a bit of practice it'll start to feel natural.
Ain't no way, he figured out how to turn the Distortion pedal on
💀
Bros gain is on 1😭
Still not enough distortion
@@artso1990 it’s better to learn without it so you know your actually hitting the notes
I don't think he's ever heard of distortion
Palm muting left the chat
Would probably sound like shit since he has literally no bass in his tone
@@bigbo1764 it couldn’t have sounded worse than he already did😂
considering he isnt a metal guitarist its good
@@bigbo1764 and justice for all has left the chat
My sentiments exactly
Hits distortion, misses palm mutes
Sorry for my ignorance, but I’ve just stared learning guitar. What is palm muting, and how is it done?

No palm mute, light distortion and a strat, the perfect metal setup
He did it, he finally did it, he used distortion.
Barely
You do realize distortion doesn't have to metal distortion. Most blues uses distortion, which is Mikey's main genre.
@@MiloOfTormentorBand it’s a joke 😅
That’s like a rock acdc distortion 😂 that ain’t no metal
where
he learned how to use light distortion with no palm mutes, he's growing
It's a slow evolution but he's getting there
It sounds like midi
@@aussenn4915true 😂😂😂
@@aussenn4915lmao it sounds like if someone blasted garageband acoustic guitar through cheap earbuds
Just like me fr
it’s beautiful that we’re all celebrating him finally using actual distortion.
Figuring that out by ear is freaking awesome
must be hard asf too
Get the palm mutes in my guy!
Frfr it sounds odd without it
If he did use palm mutes it would have taken maybe 8 straight hours to whole day straight… guy is really just not a metal player
That riff is pretty easy it’s not hard at all

this is the most distortion i’ve ever seen u use n it’s still like half of what the track actually has 😭😂

@@xdarrenx all true besides Justice has both
@@xdarrenx very well said, bravo !
@@xdarrenxagreed, although justice does have an unnecessary amount of gain, probably to compensate for the lack of bass
Lars has his lawyers on the phone
Palm mutes left the chat
FINALLY... WE HAVE ACHIEVED PROPER DISTORTION
it’s not even proper though lmao
@@beethovensoupyeah, but it’s remarkable compared to what he usually uses lol
It a gift from metallica🎉
almost
Bro finally gave a better look at his amp and discovered the gain option 💀
I like how he said no matter how popular when metallica hit there peak before he was born.
Alright so you nailed the downstroke speed, but you need to palm mute the low e string when you do the spider riff
i would try to get that low E palm muted and then you’re golden
We're slowly converting him to the dark side.
Nailing this riff is one of the most satisfying things

The down strokes 😩😫😫
Needs palm mute, but otherwise its perfect!
Def not perfect
@justinjames2436 just give him the benefit of the doubt, man
The absence of the essential palm mutes are killing me right now 😭
your channel is amazing love watching these. hope you blow up!!!
Bro made a huge production of learning a transition riff. You could make a whole movie learning the solos
The solos won't be anything too unusual for him. It's the metal riffs he ain't used to. Kirk Hammet mostly plays bluesy based pentatonic solos..
@@SixStringSlinger1 yeah but playing the same scale does not mean he can play at that speed and the phrasings are very different
@@santiagoarciniegas722it'd still be just like learning any other solo he's played. He'd probably be better at that than the rest of the song anyways
For a non metal guitarist you're pretty good
Definitely, tone didn’t sound too bad either
@@mayhem9052 yeah, this shows how versatile stratocasters are. I love mine, you can play anything on them
@@Doofusdandy they can do literally everything except heavy, low tuned metal which is pretty niche anyways. Imma be buried with my strat.
@@jazzercise300 yeah, they can do pretty much any kind of music, but I guess that's why metal guitars are made. Maybe if I become a famous guitarist one day, when I kick the bucket I'll get mine put in a museum!
no basic rhythm technique and shit tone is pretty good?
Amazing job bro❤
You did pretty dang well good job!
Honestly it’s good that you’re expanding your horizons.
Some tips
-palm muting
-more bass tone
-practice
Maybe choose a guitar more fit for the genre, fenders are great for classic rock, blues, and jazz but it’s shown up many other guitars when it comes to Metallica esc music

Go with “One” or “King Nothing”
He has humbuckers at least
You did better than I first did, that was my first song I learned when I started guitar
This guys been playing for years
Damn man you picked one of the hardest as your first 😂
you're such legend xD, it was greenday for me
"oh yeah, i finally got a guitar. Let's start with a basic song like Van Halen Eruption"
@@satanthechampyoo same. green day has some real good and easy songs though
Bro now you have to do the rest of the song! I’ve never seen you use distortion before
To be fair, for your first metal riff ever played (it's pretty obvious it's the first one) you did a great job. I love all of your content.
Literally every single guitar UA-camr: *Plays Master of puppets*
Clearly youre new here. This guy is allergic to distortion. This is a historical event you have witnessed and all you can do it moan and complain.

U nailed it dude. Next : Involuntary Doppelganger by Archspire
Been waiting for this one lol 😂
Bro has the metal guitar and he just the strat
I don’t get why people think you MUST only downstroke. Nobody cares. People will give you shit but they’re either joking or gatekeeping
No, James Hetfield says it himself, downstroking is a key part of their riffs.
Because you don't get that strong hardness and thickness of downstrokes if you alt pick.
You did great man

He finally uses distortion...... I'm bou to tear up😂
Him: Enter...
Me: "Sandman? Not very "interesting" there buddy"
Him: "The wheel of misfortune"
i have absolutely no idea what you said means
He says “No matter how popular this band has “Become””…Become? U kiddin dude, thats an understatement!
bro is a living midi machine
heard
Pretty good. Not trying to be a critic but for the riff you palm mute 0,1 on the low E
Im just ignoring the fact that he isnt palm muting. The only thing i am intimidated by is the guitar face. 💀💀💀☠️

That riff is a beast, good on ya lol 🤘
It’s ok bro u can alternate pick it anyone who says all downstrokes all the time only listens to anthrax
Idk, i don’t have a problem with it if you just can’t downpick it, but if you can you should. It sounds way more consistent
i mean that’s the way james wrote the parts. puppets, like most metallica songs, have entirely down picked rhythm parts
People gotta let this man be😭 he clearly loves learning guitar and we all can be better in some way. Why flame him about palm mutes and distortion and liking Jimi Hendrix?
Cuz that all he plays HES playing metal on a strat. Just cursed
That’s kinda sounds cool with out palm mutes like a korn riff
I'm so in love with your guitar playing
Btw, finally distorted!
Almost perfect! you just have to palm mute the e string.
Try a Megadeth song
We in the indistry call that "stupid fingers."
I kid, kid. You make Og happy!
This was like one of the first songs i learned
Surftallica? 😂
Seeing a smug bluesturd try to play metal and fail brings a smile to my face

Typical beginners mistake
Bro the face shows the amount of enjoy
I'm surprised you made it this far on TikTok, but I mean you go dude, keep improving
Let’s start a petition for this guy to learn Tech Death by ear every week
Wild that people talk about how complex and intricate Frusciante licks are but then can't figure out what palm muting is.
bro turned it into mary janes last dance with that last note
His strat: please allow me
Honestly thats what we all sounded like playing metal for the first time. I think hell be a riff lord very soon
guitarist discovers metal for the first time not clickbait
Awesome thanks 👍

This makes me feel good knowing not everyone is a metal head but makes me feel obsolete lol
Yasss my fav song
Some people’s good at doodling and soloing some people’s good at thunderous power chords riff making
Playing puppets all the way through is spiritual to me. It's got so much awesomeness
MASTER! MASTER! MASTER OF PUPPETS I'M PULLING YOUR STRINGS!
me waiting for you to do a metallica video: 🥺🔥🔥🔥🔥
When the bell tolls isn’t to bad, at least comparatively
YOUNG THE GIANT REFERENCE YES
Most important part is you down stroked all of it! Nailed it!
I highly doubt that it randomly landed on master of puppets, he absolutely chose that.
Nice one friend 😊
Bro will never palm mute
I never thought i would hear this man use any sort of distortion
As someone who can play a lot of Metallica, this hurts lmao
For a classic rock guitarist, that's a great achievement
From the moment I picked up a guitar I’ve been making my own music. I tried to learn popular metal riffs and Metallica songs but holy hell dude.
i got really scared when he said “enter the wheel of misfortune”
bro found the drive option💀
He used distortion and I almost thought he was playing someone else's track 😂😭✋
How popular this band has become. They were probably still the most popular band before he was born.
This was like the first riff i learned on guitar
Made it sounds like a 16 bit ringtone 🤣
See nothing is impossible i thought the same for snow hey oh and never going back again but practising it religiously i nailed it
YES. MASTER OF PUPPETS
