What's YOUR favorite Kirk Hammett solo?
Master of Puppets
Ride the Lightning
hi
One
Creeping death or atlas rise
My man is playing famous guitars like Thanos collecting the infinity stones at this point. Holy shit.
Literally lmaooo
that was the first thought i had lmao
With a chord of his fingers our guitars will disintegrate to ashes.
for real

I appreciate it man. :)
Thank you
Sweet
thx
This man os a hero
I really appreciate your respect for Kirk Hammett a lot of people try to dog him but he's the reason why I started playing guitar about 13 14 years ago
I don’t get some people....I think his playing is perfectly fitting for Metallica .....great player in my book
@@maidenrulz73 it's just that sometimes, in live scenarios, he kinda messes up some solos. but it's ok! we're not perfect and neither is he. The important thing is that he creates good music for us to listen to, and that we give him money for that. The rest is all optional
Society these days
Bitter jealous mutts 😎
I thank him for introducing me to Gary Moore via the mighty 59 Greeny, damn that man was fukn incredible
Still got the blues is fukn amazing, especially the 2010 live performance where he makes it cry 🤘🏻
It's Filipino power man! 🤘
@@lapinus he doesnt actually mess anything up he said himself he trys to change it up a little each time and i guess some people dont like that
"I had to go with the most iconic Metallica solo from the black album..."
Me: Unforgiven!
"Enter Sandman"
That was my exact reaction
Me : Wherever I may Roam 😀
@@andrewsantos3283 same that solo is killer
my thoughts exactly
Haha same
He had the chance to play 0 3 5 on Kirk's guitar and he didn't take it
As for the 0 3 5, he could've picked some kind of monster main riff for that.
How did we both end up here? Lol
@@jakobsud Yooooo lol
And you fucked it up
@@marcthedashergd6321 It’s kirk’s guitar though, so he won’t be able to get the notes in between
Fun fact: Trapped Under Ice’s main riff was originally one Kirk wrote for Exodus. The song is called Impaler.
Oh shoot! Should've known!
Impaler is on Tempo of the Damned
Same with Creeping Death as well.
@@MetallicA4658 Kirk wrote the Creeping Death riff when he was like 15 years old
@@voodoocustompickups2547 and was originally used in Exodus. He formed Exodus when he was around 15-17 and even taught Holt how to originally play guitar.
The solo to blackened is absolutely disgustingly awesome
I know right when you expect it to be over Kirk's still not done.
yeah thats the best one... its one of the few where moves away from pentatonic... I also heard that Joe Satriania helped him write that solo......
unfortunately when they play it live now he omits all the best bits of that solo
@@neonblack211 well ofc they were all coked up writing that
@@neonblack211 I KNOW! He excludes my favorite part from my favorite solo 😢
@@neonblack211 Satriani helped him on fade to black not blackened
'The Thing That Should Not Be' never gets any love 😭
Its definitely my favorite song by far, and one of my favorite solos of all time
That solo is perfect. The eastern sounding lick (right before he hits the open string dive bomb and does the pull-off lick again) is so eerie, which really serves a song about an HP Lovecraft story. Anyone know what he's doing there theory-wise? I hear a harmonic minor-like pattern but it sounds like he throws in an outside note and I don't know what scale it is in context with the rhythm underneath.
Or leaper mesiah
Different tuning
@@ralpherl5657 yeah they probably didnt wanna sit there and watch him tune for 40 minutes
Fade To Black is IMO one of his best solos he's ever written.
I agree, it just fits so perfect with the soul of the song
My favorite is disposable heroes
The unforgiven solo is my number 1 solo man, the opening to it just has so much power
My favorite is the master of puppets i just can’t get it out of my head
Agreed!!
Next video :
Digging up Dimebag's grave and playing Eddie's orignal guitar
He had one made especially for him.
Oh, I swore he said he had one made for him to be buried with
Youre correct, my apologies
@no "dimebag was an original, and he deserves the original"
May he rest in peace but that is a fucking hilarious thought
dude you play everyones guitars you are lucky
Not about luck but rather the hard work that nobody else saw when he was making videos that no one would watch but he kept doing it
He hasn’t played mine yet🤔
@@kaic9712 good point
@@helmse_6512 LMAO
next play slash's guitar
I always preferred the solo in "Unforgiven" because of how Soulful and Intricate it is. Everyone is different. Great Playing Man.
I was just waiting for him to play it lol, I love that damn solo
I agree a lot with the man with Sandman been more iconic, i think of the Black Album Sandman and Unforgiven are easily the top picks cause both solos are very dinamic and powerful in their different styles, the underdogs been The God that failed and the Struggle whitin wich share does same concepts, while Sad And Roam are amazing but much easier, though Roam is Phrygian wankery at it´s best, NEM is Het´s, Tread and Wolf are more disonant yet very aggresive, Holier, Never and Misery are good both indeed less complicated.
I agree along with struggle within
just learnt it, probably the hardest thing ive reallly attempted and put my head down to, ive now learnt a few more solos like it that i wouldnt of been able to before, love it. also just bought a kh202 2004 model to add to it haha
Just the fact that he is touching Kirks real Ouija guitar which I 100% believe is not real made me comment anyway because I am gullible and enjoy the content!
It's so nice to see some love for Kirk's style. Yeah, he's not the most technical guitarist, but he definitely has a style that works, especially in the context of Metallica's music. He's in my top 5 guitar heroes list for sure.
I agree.
i did not know so many people dislike kirks playing
@@GalaxyDinoPlayzjojobestshowlol Megadeth fans
@@wavedgalaxy I am a Megadeth fan and I do not understand why people hate Kirk.
@@moonwalkerkop4479 Well, so am I. But there are deth fans that hate metallica, so do they hate kirk.

"You're guitar collection is getting excessively big, and the worst thing about it is. You keep getting more. You're sick." - Improvised Quote that I forget the words to by Tyler Larson.
Just days ago - "Kirk Hammett’s ‘Ouija Board’ guitar is up for sale if you’ve got a spare $350,000"
I got 350,000😁😁😁
Well it's history
@@Billy_Almighty me too. Thank you Bitcoin.
@@dcarts5616 end up getting it?
@@chassy50 oh nope. Lost all my money in Bitcoin. 😆
I do not imagine you will see this. But I'm an old enough Metallica fan to have been involved in the tape trading days, and having a cassette copy of "No Life Till Leather", and being in the record store when Kill 'Em All came out. You've nailed Kirk's playing as well as anyone I've ever heard. So good. well done man. That had to have been a blast playing that guitar. Good on ya; keep doing the work that enabled that gift to come your way.

Better now?
@@StealthBeeKid yes thank you, i liked your meme but the spelling ruined it for me hahaha
Il start the challange know lets see how buff i get. Haha🤣🤣
Haha
best solo from the black album is definitely Wherever I May Roam
Nope, The God That Failed is literally the best solo of Metallica
For me it's Struggle Within
definitely the unforgiven solo for me
To me, it is sad but true. Let's face it. Every solo in the black album is better than enter sandman.
And Metallica riff period for me.
Incredible.📈⚡️
Stonks
Why do I see you comment everywhere lol
@Allan Dalgren well i guess you did as well...
Stonks
Incredebru
excellent demo of one of the most inspirational metal guitarists ever! Screw all the Hammett haters coz Kirk has given so much to metal with just what he has.
The solo at the end of Jump In The Fire is one of my favorites. Its full effect can only be accomplished within full context however. Just listening to it straight up won’t work, but the build-up from the rest of the song just absolutely puts me into a thrashing mode.
Now my MOST favorite is the first solo in The Four Horsemen. It is plain amazing.
Yes!!! That final solo is sick!!
I think that was written by Dave idk
Don't wanna be a dick but Dave wrote that solo...
@@wavedgalaxy all the solos on kea are written by Dave but performed by Kirk
@@thedarksideofthemoon9195 Nah not all of them. If I recall correctly, Hit The Lights; Motorbreath; Whiplash; No Remorse; Seek & Destroy are all originals
My 34 year old self would be losing my mind even touching that thing. That’s thrash metal legend status.
34!??
He really didn't played the creeping Death riff... Oh man 😭
Yeah seriously...that killed me.
That and the fact that there are other awesome tracks on the Master of Puppets album which honestly have waaaaay better solos...but he chose to play the Master of Puppets solo.
Like the video was almost entirely "I play the solos from their most popular songs." Like maybe those _are_ his favorite but I sort of doubt that and think he sort of got caught up in playing songs he knew a wider audience would recognize. And that's totally fine too.
Like idk even what my point is now, just disappointed that the usual songs were the ones that got the spotlight...as usual.
@@derrickmelton5844 I mean he did play Trapped Under Ice
@@ryanp7782 yeah but that was 1 out of 5 with the other 4 being super popular songs of theirs.
@@derrickmelton5844 for me personally I don’t see Hero of the Day being an extremely popular song to a lot of people, so more like 3 out of 5.
@Oliver Heck I agree with this, although I would confidently say that Master of Puppets and Enter Sandman are probably more influential than 98% of his other solos, aside from the songs that you mentioned.
Kirk Hammett has been one of my favorite guitarists ever since I found out we had the same birthday when I was younger
so now that you're older your birthday has changed just messing around writing stupid stuff Rock on
That was epic....hammet is hands down my favorite lead guitarist.....well done sir
Metallica back in the early 90s sparked my interest in metal. Kirks intro solo to “fade to black” has been my fav. That solo will bring a tear to your eye. Great vid
Altough Kirk was never one of the most technical guitar players, he for sure created some of the most breathtaking guitar solos and riffs. Gotta give him that
Umm depends on the album really justice for all was very fast paced and technical
And his solos fit into the Metallica sound.
And the shrillest live tone ever produced.
I don't really get why people say kirk hammett uses wah on EVERY solo. I have listened to their main discography, and I heard more solos without wah than solos with wah. It may be just me though, but I can assure you I heard less wah solos than wahless solos.
@@marcthedashergd6321 he's famous for turning it on to boost solos but not rocking it back and forth necessarily. Helps get that ear piercing shill tone going that he has live.
Oh my God, thank you. As a die hard Metallica AND a Kirk Hammett fan, it's cool to see this very guitar!!!
I feel like Kirk Hammett would be visibly upset if he heard you say Hetfield's riffs were "heavier"
Agree. I think 'chunkier' might be a better descriptor
He was visibly upset when they didn’t put ride the lightning on the song list in there concert
Ha! As a Matter of Fact Kirk did wrotte the "meanest" sounding riffs of the band, pretty much everything involving tritones and tritones are the devil LOL
This is a very worthwhile and fun channel to watch as a guitarist growing up and playing mostly things from the nineties from the magazines and that old school style even though I enjoyed eighties music and it's really my era this is a great throwback to those struggling nineties guitarists who were learning and cutting their teeth on the magazines, this channel again is always fun to watch good, worthwhile content and very enjoyable. Keep it up!!
I could honestly see this being a video in a museum one day explaining what music used to be to people who have no clue what it is when they're rediscovering everything from this society when they have to start over.
Amazing video, Tyler.
Thank you for sharing.
P.S. "Hero Of The Day" is still one of my favorite songs by Metallica.
Now you have to play the November rain les Paul in front of a church in the desert.
That's actually Joe Perry's les paul slash gave it back to him on his birthday
@@Happylink75 It was Slash’s at that time, so for the context of my comment Im not gonna say it was Joe Perry’s guitar
@@omithehomi8568 joe perry still uses it I believe so I'd be pretty hard to get it
@@Happylink75 it doesn’t matter if joe perry owned it before or owned it now
@@omithehomi8568 No he still uses it
He’s just growing more powerful every day...
No fucking way that's sooo sick!!! Cunning Stunts got me into Metallica, too. I am VIBING vicariously right now, that's insane. So psyched for you, man!
Hi!
Just watched Cunning Stunts like a few hours ago
Also the first thing I ever heard from 'Tallica in '96
I love your channel!
Man I love everything you just played. I listened to this stuff my whole life. I love it so much its what got me into guitar in the first place. You played all my favourites and perfectly at that. Good job man
I graduated HS in 90. Kirk has long been one of my idols and influences. Seeing the Oujia guitar up close and put through its old familiar paces (albeit too briefly ofc, your tone was great) was a real treat for this old metalhead. Thanks, dude.
"Mom...I'm gonna make a Kirk Hammett guitar video for UA-cam."
"Well make sure you have clean shoes on."
I just watched him playing Van Halens guitar and now heres this.. This guy never stops uploading good content huh?
This man is going places...epic
He already is
I’ve watched this video 1000 times one of my favorite. Thanks for inspiring me Tyler you really have taken me through my full guitar journey. Would not be where I am today without you.
Like you I grew up listening to Metallica and being inspired by them to pick a guitar up. Never got good at it like you, but I envy you immensely for getting to play these.
My favorite solo from Kirk has to be the solo is for Unforgiven
That's his best.
@@retrobasetheband you spelled any solo from "Fade to Black" wrong
Same that solo is powerful
honestly, never been so jealous in my entire life. Congrats man.
You are truly blessed and lucky to play some of of these guitars keep it up
The guitar is All WIthin Your Hands. I loved the "Cunning Stunts" reference at the beginning. I remember throughout '99-2000 having Cunning Stunts on in the sitting room late late , when my parents were asleep upstairs. I couldnt really play guitar, but I had a blast trying at least to play along to James's parts with my guitar- unplugged-, round my neck as the sitting room was an imaginary arena to me. 🤘😁 That guitar is legendary, Ive always admired it. Unreal to see you play it like that. That is just amazing! Shout out too for Trapped under Ice. Excellent, underrated song.
So many famous guitars at the moment... amazing
Hearing Tyler play these solos on the guitar they were played on really makes you realize how strong and aggressive Kirk's fingers are.
Hetfield,God , EVH and now Kirk
It's only time before players start giving you their guitars to play WITHOUT an auction.
Salute...
Who was god?
@@thesigma_andtheligma clapton
You forgot about Santana
I wonder if he will ever play Hendrix’s guitar
@@jayce-__-_-_-
That's the next video.
I watch UA-cam videos all the time, but that master puppets solo you just played after explaining about the guitar gave me chills and Goosebumps all over and made me tear up. Amazing
Nicely done, Tyler! This is a well-deserved attribute to your channel.
Ola Englund played the original Dean From Hell, you guys should start a competition 😅
There’s no beating, especially with Kirk’s gear. You’d have to play Randy’s or Tony’s to even get close
@@ChrisARC it was a joke, don't take it too serious
@@IgorsMetallicaFan Gringo leva tudo no literal 😂
playing these famous guitars could be a huge series
Tyler and Marty uploading at the same time ? Crazy
Thanks!
Wow Tyler, This is insane! Hard work really really pays off.. Well done dude!! 😧
My dad asked me which Metallica songs I know
I told him I only know one and nothing else matters.
Technically that's two.
Lol
😂😂😂😂
Happy for you, Tyler. Must be the most surreal experience to hold a guitar like that!
Wow jealous af right now
Nailed it. Congrats on the experience. Your hard work payed off bro.
Very cool! Kirk and I have the same birthday, Nov 18th, and have been playing almost the same amount of time. This rocks. 🤘😁
Hero of the day imo is a really underrated song.
Load and reload have a solid collection of songs between the two of them… Good live in the studio feel as well.
@@j_freed load and reload are those albums that I feel like I always forget about but I always love listening to them no matter what
fuck me, you killed me with this one. This is probably the most influential guitar in my life, the one that i always saw when i first started listening to Metallica and playing in 92 and Kirk was always playing this one.
Next Kirk plays this guy's guitar. 🤩
Love the tremsetter on that guitar. I had heard that Kirk uses them on all his guitars. It is good to now have confirmation. Thanks
Cunning stunts defined my youth. I watched it every Friday evening after school for years. I can even recite all the small talks between songs James would have. This makes me so happy 👍 you’re lucky man.
That Enter Sandman solo when it goes half time is a pretty awesome moment.
Imagine getting kirk hammetts guitar, i would shit myself.
Wow, James Hetfields guitar, Eric Clapton’s guitar, Eddie Van Halen’s guitar, now Kirk Hammett’s guitar. Some of my favorite guitarists of all time! You are a very lucky man 😂
glad you enjoy makig these videos
been trying to learn the one solo but it's been a while since I started learning the song, maybe I'll take a break from it
If i didn t see you play I would have said that it is a recording of Kirk. Flawless, good job
this should be a series called the legend series where you play guitars from guitar legends
I am thrilled to see Metallica love so front and centre with zero shame.
Your either a metallic lover or a liar
@@metalheadblues You may never know which
I fucking love the Cunning Stunts live show DVD! I originally grew up with the same concert on VHS, then twenty-ish years later here I am, watch you play Kirk's rifts and solos on his iconic guitar. Fuck yeah, I'd love to play me some E1M1 in the style of Mick Gordon on that same guitar and with a set of Baritone Ernie Ball strings.
that escalated quickly
Dude you must feel so blessed to play these guitars. And man your playing was very impressive!
I’m really glad you included hero of the day. Actually one of my favorite songs by them. Really great riff
Kirk is my favorite guitarist!
Shhh, the MegadetH fans can hear you.
Me to
Kirk was an incredible guitar player in his time.
So creative
Definitely one of my heroes
Kirk Hammett is a guitar novice, but that could sound disrespectful for all the people starting to play guitar, if you mind his full absence of playing skills. Dude can’t even hold it properly. One of the worst of famous guitar players of all time. And he was never any good. Not even mediocre. And btw maybe for that reason he didn’t write anything for Metallica at all.
For sure! Kirk Hammett inspired everything I do on guitar and he’ll always be in my top 3.
This is awesome man!
Thanks for giving Hero of the Day some love. One of my favs. (Even the S&M version)
What an honor congrats to you man you've done your homework you've done your thing and you've earned every bit of what you're doing I'm searching for the tracks that he played that Fernandes Strat style guitar on because I just love those like one
what did you think of the feel of the guitar? The sustain? The overall quality? How was it on its own as an instrument? And man, you nail those solos! Makes me appreciate how difficult the decptively simple stuff Kirk plays really is.
I'm just wondering how he gets these guitars! Imagine Kirk has an amber alert out for his guitar!
Metallica never gets old. I love all eras of the band
Never played a Hetfield model. Owned an LTD KH602 for a while and gotta say, it was AMAZING! The neck was smooth as silk the locking nut was perfect, the floyd rose was one of the easiest I ever "tinkered" with, and the sound was a dream. That fretboard was beautiful (could see reflections in it). I always wanted a Hetfield though. The ESP EX series was cool imo. I'm an Explorer guy so...
You know he was prepared to make this video by how he has his good shoes on and a great camera angle on the whaaaaa pedal lol. Great vid; thanks for sharing with us this guitar 🎸
If this man didn’t record the Metallica vs. Jimi Hendrix pt. 2 video while he had this guitar, I am going to be unimaginably angry.
you nailed that lead tone, now that being said, the rhythm tone was severely missed
My personal favorite Kirk Hammit solo has to be Ride the Lightning. It’s the perfect mixture of pure shredding while being melodic at the same time. Other great ones from him include Fade to Black, Disposable Heroes, and The Unforgiven imo, plus many more.
bro you have to see them asap i took my dad with me for the hardwired tour in atlanta. they were amazing mydad got really drunk and went nuts the entire show. his all time favorite band and he finally got to see them after all these years
Damn bro you really did your homework man you nailed them solos so nice without a bunch of Reverb and delay and all just really solid man
"Things are lookin' up"
"Mama, they try and break me"
:/
No unforgiven solo? That's the best Kirk Hammett solo ever.
Play hard until your idols' guitars be in your hands 🤘🏼
Well sir.. that was farking epic!!! The cunning stunts VHS got played to death when I was about 14-15 and I remember buying that copy of total guitar too!! Oh man it seems like a bloody lifetime ago! So epic still to this very day!!! 🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
Love, love, love and love again. If I ever go back to FR guitar - Hammett. I'm a Papa Het fan but there's no Earth without Kirk's guitars - design so great I'll pay that money one day. One of the most beautiful guitar series in the World. Kirk.
My favourite Kirk moment was when they hand a guitar to Robert so he can show him to play phrigyan instead of pentatonica 😂
