    Thanks for watching and supporting! There's a lot going on in this track so it should keep you busy for a while.
    For those of you purchasing the Guitar Pro session and PDF Tab I've included an extra PDF and session of the intro guitars as they were originally played. This will help you in recreating the part. Download here: timholmanofficial.com/downloads

      Thank you! That is great to hear because I spent a ridiculous number of hours on this. To the point where I think my wife was getting upset with me. Haha!

    A little trivia. That main riff was written by Jason Newstead on the bass. One of the few songwriting credits he ever got in metallica

    Best guitar teacher on UA-cam. Also, the best explanation of Blackened.

  • @neilbentley7307

    Had no idea those guitar parts were reversed! Sounds so good forwards. An album I’ve heard thousands of times and I’ll never be able to listen to the opening the same way again! Looking fwd to One & Justice 🙏

  • @dissonant_a
    @dissonant_a 7 місяців тому +4

    Tim you’re hands down the best teacher on UA-cam. If anyone is on the fence, I highly recommend grabbing the GP file too, having the ability to slow down each section and play along has had me nailing songs in no time. The attention to detail is second to none.

    Thank you, Tim, for another amazing video.
    Your detailed explanations and tips are much appreciated, even a novice player like myself can follow and learn.
    This will keep me busy for a while, but I'm already excited that Master of Puppets is coming soon.
    Any plans to do ONE or Gojira's Stranded?

    Bro! This video is FANTASTIC! Subb'd! My wife hears me practicing and I'm sure she always thinks there's something missing. I've explained 20 times that when she's listening on the radio, she's often hearing 4 guitar parts played by one person. Then she looks at me like I'm speaking Chinese. The way you laid out the reversed intro in your video shows that so well. I'm gonna make her watch it 30 times, lol.
    I'm still consistently amazed by how heavy Metallica can make standard tuning sound.

    • @TimHolman
      @TimHolman  9 місяців тому +1

    Great job Tim! Please do Disciples of the Watch, Eerie Inhabitants or Alone in the Dark next time, I can't understand why no one publishes guitar lessons on how to play Testament songs. They are one of the greatest thrash metal bands of the 80s and Alex Skolnick is a phenomenal guitarist, yet there are almost no tutorials available. Thank you! Lorenzo

    Before the B flat lick in the main riff there's an open A. It doesn't go 7 8 7, it goes 7 8 0 then the b flat power chord. James talks about it with Jason on the riff tapes when he's learning the riff. Edit: It's actually 'easier' because you have a split second extra to move back to the first fret.

      Yeah, that tab for Blackened has to be one of the worst tabs I've seen. Virtually nothing is correct. I don't fault them for trying their best back in the day but what I don't understand is why that book is STILL on the market.

    Hi Tim, great lesson as always! Just one question, because every time i listen to blackened I can’t help but notice the timing of the main riff after the solo sounds kinda weird. What are your thoughts on that?

    • @TimHolman
      @TimHolman  9 місяців тому

      There is a slight timing issue with the last couple of beats underneath the solo. Almost like it slows down a fraction. Also, the end of the solo is solidly in 4/4 time. With the 7/4 timing coming back in I could see that sounding weird. I can't think or hear of anything else that's causing an issue.

    I’m curious because the one thing I never see in tabs…. What is James doing during the bridge when he hangs on the E chord? In ‘89 he slides his hand down near the 12th fret. Any ideas of what he’s doing? My guess have been he’s grabbing the 12th fret of the E and sliding it back up between the E chords, or maybe just sliding the notes on 2nd fret A and S strings down to the 12th. Please help answer that it’s been bugging me for years

    A question from someone with a lot of ignorance about it: why and why place the intro in reverse, does it have any didactic purpose, and if so what is it?
