i started learning this from you before stranger things did it :)
Learning this for Eddie (but also cause I’m a metal fan lol)
Máster of tabs
How did you know?!?!? hahaha
the man knows his audience.
Can we take a minute to pay respect to this man for DOWN-PICKING the whole thing. That’s talent
Thank you! That’s much appreciated!!
Bro you deserve it
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons honestly you could pull off Through the Fire and Flames easily (you should totally do it)
@@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons thank you for the tabs now im gonna learn this song
Should I alternate pick on this then?
"I'm your source of wrist destruction,"
That’s actually true and it suits the song too

My grandmother is 67 years old and she really likes this song, especially the second solo, she says it's a lot of fun. I learned the whole song to play it for her. Thank you for the video, and for making people happier :) ❤
Based grandma
I learned the solo from 3:52 with this video. Sitting on my friends couch with an old guitar and just tried it until I could play it. My friend was impressed that I managed to lean this solo in 20 minutes.
Unfortunately he passed away last month, so this solo and this video reminds me of him.
Thank you for this video, because it helped me a lot with this song!
r/thatHappened
My condolences. What happened to him if I may ask?
@@Eugecraft-zk5xw shhhh
may he rest in peace 🤘🙏
@@EbonyPope he committed suicide.
Damn, he seems so comfortable on the fret board like he knows exactly what he’s doing, the slides look so clean and shit I envy it, I’m over here with a rusty stringed acoustic wishing I had a good electric
yo its been a while have you got that electric guitar yet?
Hoping you got that electric and got some fretboard confidence
Just an advice for new Metallica fans who come here for ST with the intention of learning this. This is not as easy as you think, in fact I think it can be considered one of the most difficult riffs in the entire Metallica setlist.
it took me 4 days of practice i got it nailed down already
It's the downpicking the entire song that makes it one of the hardest
@@yunxkirixto915 but did you downpick it tho?
The riff itself is pretty simple it’s just the downpicking that you have to do
Lo aprendí hoy xd
6:19 my favorite riff/bridge in the song :)
fun fact that part is inspired from a David Bowie song called Andy Warhol
I absolutely love the first solo
It's very rare too find a tutorial channel that doesn't dampen down the content to make it seem less threatening and it's frustrating to progress so thank you for being honest
Eddie’s rock out in Stranger Things S4 got me here trying to learn this song! It’s so good!
Learning this for you Eddie! RIP!

I just found your channel last night and let me tell you something besides the fact that you are a top notch pro level guitarist and the fact that you are most skilled at helping people to fully understand what everything means as far as tabs go..you would have changed my entire life if we had youtube in the 1990s when I was 11 or 12. I grew up loving guns and roses the most and begged my parents for an electric guitar since I was like 7 or 8 every week. After the loss of a grandparent they finally caved and got me a cheaper Peavy guitar and amp that came as a kit. I had never played any guitar prior and I relied on a guy my mom worked with to explain in a note how to read tabs and what they meant. I never met the guy and it took me forever to understand how to play on my own without lessons. I played every night and day for over a decade and I could play some songs pretty well but I was always lost on things like pinch harmonics and some other things. Palm muting was easy to understand but solos stumped me a lot. I was born in 84 so I think I started jamming at like 1995 or 96. I gotta get both my electric guitars fixed soon so I can start catching up on the lost love of my life, playing quality guitar. Thanks a ton
Ps.. I forgot to mention how on youtube you can slow the speed down. It makes it perfect to see what you're doing and how to hit and time every note. Thank you for doing exactly what you do and please keep up the great work. Big thanks from Wisconsin
@@johnlarson4254I love to hear it! 🤘
You've done a far better job with the clean channel / pretty solo part and Lars' drum parts in that section than most. This entire song is etched into my psyche from childhood and I can tell if someone hits even one sour note. I've been playing this solo for over 20 years and your tutorial is literally one of the better ones out there.
I was trying to learn this song ages ago and this video made me try again, sounds great:)
Satisfying to see that you’ve improved isn’t it
@@neroya7163 i wish I was seeing improvement, im still struggling to play the first bit with no mistakes
same here:)
@@ewanmcloughlin6875 have you got it yet?
Best tutorial, played, tabbed, and toned right, it is like a cover with tab. Very good job sir!
holy shit Hetfield ist doing THIS plus singing and it seems so effortless ...just mindblowing
I’m gonna learn this one for Eddie 🙏

I really like how you play main riff starting at 0:23 Made me think about my technique. I never held 2nd finger down the whole riff and had quite bad time missing the note sometimes which ended in sloppy playing. Might try again using your way.
Same
I instantly noticed that!!
Yeah dude as soon as I noticed that I'm almost playing it up to speed after like 30-45min of playing that riff continuously. That's the secret to it for sure if you were struggling like me.
Interesting fact, there is no vocal, but u can hear it
I could only realize it 3 minutes in lol.
that 21/32 time signature is unbelievably accurate. Kudos to you sir!
how to count that?
@@j00mi grossly simplified, 4/4 Time signature means, you need 4 counts of 1/4 (quarter note) pulse for each bar, 21/32, means you need 21 counts of 1/32 note pulse for each bar, therefore to count that you can use 1/32 note 21 times for that exact bar. in this song case those bar implements 3 count 1/8th note (3/8) followed by 1/16th rest, lastly with 2 count of 1/8th note (2/8), totaling 3/8 + 1/32 + 2/8 using simple math to make it common denominator 12/32 + 1/32 + 8/32 = 21/32.
@@j00miYou don't, this is something you must feel
5:42 that solo is amazing
Difícil de aprender?
@@Cotorra72 mucho
Ahh your guitar looks really nice. Im a big fan of metallica, this video helped me training the song
Make sure you don’t leave out the F note like I did lol. Everything else in the video is accurate, I like to believe so anyway. Cool to hear it’s helping you. Rock on🤘
Unreal down picking control. Most people don’t know how much picking hand stamina you have to have to do that right and cleanly. Most of us alternate pick that because we’re mortals. I had a question regarding the 12th fret walk down. I saw another video about a guy who always does Metallica based stories and covers and he said most do that part wrong and end it at the 2nd fret so they can hit the open low E and use that time to get back to 12. He said it a actually goes down to fret 1. It sounded a bit different but both ways sound good. Regardless, your way makes it sound more seamless when restarting at 12. Even if it’s wrong your way is the way I do it. The other way sounds forced and jacks up my timing.
you know how to down pick faster don't be a p@@sy beta
I only use downstrokes because I'm really bad at alternate picking XD
The correct way is to hit the 1 before hitting the open E string. There is an old video on UA-cam of Kirk Hammett showing the Metallica riffs and he definitely hits the 1st fret. I actually just finished watching that in slow speed.
ua-cam.com/video/nGYwwvWiCi8/v-deo.html
Watch Kirk play it, he definitely hits the first fret to finish that chromatic run down. It makes it a little more difficult to play than what's shown in this video.
If you can't downpick this, you Just need to train it... Really, I downpicked this song before I could play its solo ... My first 2 years playing metal were more devoted to rhythm playing and a few easy solos, than only after this I started trying the harder solos... Maybe you skipped the rhythm training... Just train, It will be easy... And I'm not a good player
Nailed it!! I learned this when it first came out. Trying to re learn it at 57 years old. Fantastic job my friend! I had to buy 2 records and probably cassettes because I ruined them trying to figure out what James was doing. Way ahead of his time. One of my favorite rhythm guitar players and song writers of all time. He just keeps getting better!
5:52-5:54… you are spot on with that. You have no clue how many people on UA-cam get that wrong. Awesome job btw, rock on!!🤘🏻🎸🎶🎵
Ikr! There are too many people that just don't play it right, this is the first accurate one I've found. Also, how would you bend the note without a bar? I don't have one, so I'll have to do it by hand but I can't really figure out how to do it.
@@wowow8925you’ve probably figured it out by now lol. I usually just pinch on the 3 fret of the b and then the 4th with a high bend.
can you imagine Hetfield plays this while fucking singing like a master
I think kirk is the one who plays most of the solos
@@negatvecreep yes but the riffs are not easy either my dude.
My dude has the time signature and tempo changes too. Lifesaver for this cover i'm building in my DAW.
I usually do not comment on vids. But DAMN!!!! Total respect. I’ve been playing for many years. I know the level of perfection in which you played this. Wow😯
The extent this guy went to to avoid alternate picking is amazing
Lyrics:
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your death's construction
Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets, I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me, you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master

(Master, Master)
Master, Master, where’s the dreams that I’ve been after?
Master, Master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Fix me!
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Never ending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams

Exellent downpicking 🤘🤘🤘

Perfect! I've been trying to play this song for a long time, but these picks down break me in half. Congratulations man!
that's why hetfield right hand is most important than anyone's else left hand....groove,timing,strenght,fury.well done!!!
As if Kirk stands still the entire song?
DO IT EDDIE!
i wanna die
Been subbed from the time you had 20k subs and the channel's name wasn't Mr. Tabs
Really awesome to see your channel grow over time
And obviously, thank you for the perfect tabs you offer to us Mr. Tabs
Love that he is really economical with his left hand. He doesn't have the crazy index finger that I've seen many do.
I just started playing 2 months ago and learning my favorite metal songs I've found economical finger placement and how they arranged most of the notes to not just compliment each other musically but they pick notes that are easy to switch to at full speed, are the secrets to playing them.
@@gentelmanjunkie542 wow I must say, you are unravelling secrets in two months? I've been playing 30 years and it's a never ending lesson.
This is real.
Been trying ages for this piece yet never made it. Your video boost my adrenaline to try it again.
Bravo. Thank you this good tape.
Well done. It's not the most difficult song to play. The hardest part is the stamina in playing it like it should be played, downstroking everything. You did great man.
That blow up fire effect in the background was dope as well! 👍🏽
Godlike! Also, I do notice that all of people saying downpicking is easy, they don't have any videos of them doing it. At this pace, staying clean is very hard to do! Also, this is over an 8 minute long song. Even a song with alternate picking at this pace is hard at over 8 minutes. For those saying it is easy, prove it. Mr Tabs, what an amazing job and what an inspiration!!!
First of How r u this good, and second I was trying to learn Master Of Puppets the other day and now it’s gonna be so much easier with the tabs thx and last thing I love all your videos, just watching someone be good at guitar and being able to read the tabs I love u
I'm the complete opposite it takes me 4 time long to learn a riff with tabs versus a video.i also don't remember as much. I think that probably why I stopped taking string in school.
Tried learning from other vids in the past but everyone says the tabs were wrong, this one seems really good, I’ll definitely give this song another try. Thank you man
Edit: I had already learned the solo and some other parts before this, so I just had to learn the rhythm parts, took me a couple days but I got it, excellent video
I love the 21/32 measures to compensate for 🥁
Been playing for 20+ years, i can play this (alternativ picking) and now gonna try master this only down picking as it is supposed to be played.
You did this justice and your down picking is on a another level, James would have approved!
Great cover, tone & execution! 10/10
Outstanding as always! Sheet music to boot.
I thought the 21/32 was really 5/8, but who am I to argue with someone who matches the sound of the record and plays so effortlessly.
I think it's a 3/4
@@andrelemospiucco5364 it's really 21/32 check it out an explanation
ua-cam.com/video/dRBmavn6Wk0/v-deo.html
@@andrelemospiucco5364 Signals music studio did a video, it is 21/32. The official tab book says 5/8 but those are infamous for being awful.

Perfect tone. On point. Sounds amazing. Great job brother
04:18 that part was meannnnn love that like roar noise
Hey man I just found your channel and I love your work. The format is really great for practicing and learning things faster. Your playing is also spot on. I just wanted to perhaps share an Idea which I would personally really apreciate. I'd love if you shared all multi tracked parts and rythym parts during solo sections. Don't change your playthrus but perhaps add the rythym parts for a solo after the playthru. Either way love your channel. This is really just adding something nice to stuff that's already great.
I love this song so much! Thanks for putting up a lesson for it!!!
So Cool, this videos are wicked! I almost gave up hope! I just learned this first solo so far! Exciting!
Man love your videos ❤❤
U downpicked this whole song RESPECT ++
Man those finger are on point. Still and focused
Man your so good.... Talented.
God bless you and keep making videos like this.
Nice one james hammet!!
This man is the reason I’m learning so many songs
This song is coming in Stranger Things season 4 vol 2, gonna learn it because I am gonna play it when the new season drops

This song has been around for 40 years and now everyone is finally listening to it? Man you guys are late 😂
Never late to listen to some Metallica, let new fans enjoy!
Better late than never, hopefully we get a new generation of metal and rock inspired from this!
bro this video is from 2020 it's not that he uploaded it a few days ago
cope
One of the most difficult part is 5:51 where he uses Artificial Harmonic + bend + whammy bar. You have to mute all the other strings with your left hand fingers and let only the string with the artificial harmonic ring.
My favorite Metallica song nailed by Mr. Tabs!
Looks good except you’re missing a note in the into. There’s an F at the end of the chromatic run to complete it. Great tone 👌🏻
I was about to say that. There's an extra F note.
05:53 shoutout to the tab books back in the day trying to get this effect by “pulling the e string off the fretboard” 😂
Master of puppets is my favourite Metallica song, and I've always wanted to learn it. Thanks for the help, now i can play it properly ; )
Learned to play this in the 90s when I was in the Marines. But just gotta say wow....that was a true master at work, great video, awesome job.
Maravilha de canal, um sorte muito grande um canal com um conteúdo tão explicativo! 👏👏👏👏
Like si vienes por stranger things, porque la tocó Eddy en la cuarta temporada
Amígo parabéns pelas sua tablaturas, elas são perfeítas, e nos minímos detalhes, já tínha tírado o riff príncipal da música, e agora conseguí tírar o 1º solo, estou muito feliz. Muito obrígado!! E um grande abraço do Brasil!!!
Awesome work. Heading over to buy that tab now. Thank you. 🖤🙏

lol i loved the explosion effect nice video bro
Building up the strength and stamina to play this is so challenging. My arm keeps tensing up and getting tired no matter how hard I try. 😢. Great video you are incredible.
21/32 ...... really?! I cant believe Lars wrote this xD
Eduard Kasparyan hah? Not like he's one of the richest musicians ever lol. What have you done?
@@derrickroseshealthyknee6820 what has him being on the richest musicians has to do with the fact that he is definetly not the best technical drummer out there. He is not famous with complex time signatures. Thats what i am saying...
@@eduardkasparyan5197 always cracks me up when people have to go with money instead of defending talent.
Back to what you said, i'm not sure if Lars was trained in musical theory, if i had to guess, i'd say he came up with a rythm that happened to be 21/32, or James did and he had to follow... who knows
@@derrickroseshealthyknee6820 Man, it's just a comment, don't have to get all defensive about Lars lol, the guy who sued fans for downloading Metallica's music. If you only value money and fame, your priorities are fucked.
This is the only song I know that uses this time signature.
0:53 DAMN
Notifications on so I have to learn a new song every time this guy posts
What a great video! I’ve never seen like this quality as a educational material. Awesome!!! It’s even kind of shocking to me. Hello from Japan
Educational?
Learning this for Eddie 😭
I really wanted to get into lead guitar, I’m a month and a week in, and these solos are really good. The first was a great starter solo. And the second I’m still having trouble with but I can play the first bit at around 80% speed.
Awesome work! You'll get there!
great tab! ive only been playing for close to a year, and this is very easy and fun to play!
This was done beautifully and this was very helpful too!
Sin dudas el mejor cover de todo youtube. Gracias por enseñarme esta cancion :).
One day
*One Day* I will have the stamina to play this damn song in its entirety
Great attitude 💪 best of luck 🤘
Hey man, that´s sick playing dude! Love it, you've taught me so me so much
I’ve seen a lot of videos, none have sounded or looked right this is sounds spot on and you down picked everything 😂😂😂
My god that post-solo part is amazing
"Chrissy, this is for you"
HE MEAN FOR MEEE DUH
My God. I wouldn't be at all shocked to find out this is actually James Hatfield incognito. That was so smooth and this is how a tutorial should be. The right tempo. The sheet music scrolling along. And finally the right tone and drive. There are some god awful versions of Puppets I have discovered. But this, this is the one to learn. Full credit man, you absolutely killed that. Thankyou for your hard work and practise and for sharing 😃😃
i've been practising until the fisrt minute and my fingers are going to crack ;vv. You're so amazing, thanks for the video. :3
You're a great guitar player ! Bravo, Bravo, Paul Howard is happy!
How many down strokes per second do you want in this song?
James: yes
Actually it's about 8 per second. Assuming that it's downpicked it means that hand have to do 16 moves up and down per second!
Bravo! Amazing performance! A true master piece
Thank you for making this it has helped me learn master of puppets incredibly fast!!
