  • Metallica Ride The Lightning Guitar Lesson + Tutorial
    This Metallica guitar lesson completely covers ‘Ride The Lightning’ with on screen guitar tabs. I’ve studied every lick and riff and approached a few things differently than the standard transcriptions that you’ll find. For the first time, the correct way of playing everything is included in one complete video. If you want to learn how to play ‘Ride The Lightning’ on guitar then this video will get you there. Let’s get going with this ‘Ride the Lightning’ guitar lesson.
    Tuning is standard. Low to high: E A D G B E
    *Note: I have a limited number of spots available for students on select weekdays. If you are interested in online lessons let me know at tim@timholmanofficial.com. We can discuss all the details!

    In this video probably more than any other Metallica lesson so far, I really contest the common tabs out there. I think the tabs that we've taken for granted are mistaken and I'm aiming to set the record straight in this lesson.
    Also note that in recent years Hetfield has moved his intro harmony down a string set when playing live so he now starts on the 11th and 12th frets of G. Live footage can be seen of him playing it both ways but my video is true to the original way that he performed it.
    Thanks for watching! Now get ready for more Metallica as I go through their entire catalogue. You don't want to miss any of these epic tutorials that cover every lick and riff in complete tab. Let me know what Metallica track gets your vote for a tutorial. Be sure to like and subscribe ua-cam.com/users/timholman You're a star! 🤘🔥🎸

    I like that you dig into what they're doing and really pull out more of how it actually sounds on the album. You're right - many erroneous tabs out there on the market....and they're sold commercially - it boggles my mind. You're a great teacher and player man!!

      @@TimHolman love the extra live details...think about adding what licks in the solos go along with which rhythm riffs, where the new lick starts in relation to the riff, that extra detail would be enormous! Eg Creeping Death, the trill along the D string, you mention 2 measures but a little extra that it corresponds to the first 2 measures of the pre chorus riff then the next licks take up the 3rd and 4th, aiming to hit the 14D at start of chorus etc... I could play the whole solo, but when I played with the song I was getting lost, I mapped out the solo to aim to hit key notes at the start of certain riffs helped a lot... Would certainly be a point of difference, no one talks about how the solo relates to the underlying rhythm parts... Keep up the good work, hope that makes sense...

    • @TimHolman
      @TimHolman  2 роки тому

      Yes, that makes sense. I will see what info I can provide like this. If I can get it in logically then I'll definitely do so. I just need to keep the videos a somewhat reasonable length. It has given me an idea for perhaps a side series though. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion! All feedback is great. 🤘🔥

      It's interesting that you're hearing something different there. Out of all the licks, that one. Lol. My tab is right though. There wouldn't be much point teaching the song if everything was wrong. Are you listening to the album version? Live, they're always tuned down now at least half a step and sometimes a whole step. Also, he never quite plays it the same way live as it was on the album. Here's a link to the isolated solo. ua-cam.com/video/cK_Paxhazbc/v-deo.html Without the rhythm guitar, drums and bass it's much easier to hear exactly what's going on.
