    Rhythm Guitar cover by CWM.
    Finally had a chance to sit down and record this over the weekend. It's funny, Ive been playing Metallica songs for years but only ever learnt the main riffs to songs. This one surprised me having to go back and look at the Tab just how insane James's rhythm playing is under Kirks solo. It's a real pain on the right hand and I choked hard on it but its a blast to play.
    Gear:
    Epiphone 1984 Explorer EX
    EMG 81 - 85
    Guitar into Apogee ONE - Garageband through a Custom Amp.

    This is what I was looking for. A cover that correctly does the rhythm under Kirk's solo. When I approached this song I wasn't really interested in learning the solo as I find it to be one of Kirk's weaker ones. The Hetfield part is fucking gold though. Thanks!

    4:04 is sick! I used to listen to this album all the time when it first came out. My brother burned a copy of it on a cassette for me to play in my Sony Walkman. He had it on CD, which was cutting edge at the time. We used to listen to it while cruising with all our friends as well. We had all the previous 3 albums prior to that, so it was a very memorable thing when we put Justice in the tape deck in his car for the first time after school one day. That intro for Blackened and then the intensity of the first rhythm was electric. That was the last album that had that effect on us.

    Alright, time to finally drop a comment after watching this video easily a few hundred times. Even die hard Metallica fans probably don't realize this is arguably James' best rhythm work ever. This song is insanely complicated, which is probably why they never played it live (or not until later and only by request). My sleeper hit from And Justice for sure. This is one of the best covers of all time: it is flawless and that's saying something because of the complexity.

    By the way, forgot to add that your playing here is amazing! I agree with someone that said you nailed the section during the solo. The changes are dizzying!
