    Nearly 20 years of playing. Several years of watching UA-cam 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.

    I've seen many covers of many songs on UA-cam 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.

      @wseeback 10 років тому +5

      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).

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

  • @aruizislas

    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.

    • @kallo182
      @kallo182 8 років тому +1

      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.

    • @aruizislas
      @aruizislas 8 років тому +1

      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.

    • @kallo182
      @kallo182 8 років тому

      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.

    • @aruizislas
      @aruizislas 8 років тому

      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.

    • @notdennis
      @notdennis 8 років тому +5

      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

  • @notdennis
    @notdennis 12 років тому

    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 UA-cam 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.
