    Hey kids! On Weekend Wankshop 142, Uncle Ben hears your cries and answers a question i've been asked dozens of times the past several weeks: How do you play that dang riff before the solo in Frayed Ends of Sanity by Metallica?!?!?!
    I see this bridge section played and tabbed incorrectly ALL the time! Its not easy to hear, but after prowling through live and demo versions of this Justice For All classic, i've come up with what i think is the 100% accurate way that James and Kirk throw this sick riff down.
    This one is great to use to improve your gallops and down picking. Really killer stuff! Let me know other classic metallica riffs you've never been able to figure out and i'll make videos on them too!

    • @MattCooketheomniscient
      @MattCooketheomniscient 6 років тому +13

    • @flekkzo
      @flekkzo 6 років тому +16

      Matt Cooke Looked into it a bit more and it seems to be a combo of long songs (Kirk apparently said "we're not playing that again" at some point) and songs just drenched in different riffs and progressive oddities. Lars might even have some issues with keeping up with all of it.
      I assume that if they really want to they can play them, but it's kind of a pain ("hard") and the black album seems to be a reaction to this, as well as those next two "country metal" albums as I like to call them. Gone are what made …and justice for all great.

    I agree with some of the comments here that its actually 7-6 pull off on the E string rather than 6-5. 7-6 also matches what JH is playing under the solo at 4:24 to 4:29 on the song, and you can here this clearly by listening to the "Frayed Ends of Sanity Instrumental Rough Mix - no solo" listen to 4:24 to 4:28 which is also on youtube. But, much thanks to Uncle Ben for the video, love your work and have learnt so much.

    Ben really is the best type of guitar teacher, there’s so many tossers who over complicate things for u just so u can hear them talk about how much theory they know n go on n on about til sig changes that Metallica probably didn’t even deliberately write. Ben just shows u and explains how simple it really is. Every guitarist who waste these time on all them wankers with 1-2mil subs where they take a riff like this n turn it into a 30minutes theory lesson that true writers them selves weren’t even worried about r wasting there time. Bens lessons r a shredding hack, straight to the point, get the technique in ur arsenal, n u slowly just accidentally start taking in theory while mastering all ur favourite techniques broken down n shown how simple they really are when approached correctly. Ben Ellet n.1 guitar teacher on UA-cam without a doubt.

    Nicely done.
    In the Justice box set there's a version of most of the songs without Kirk on them but Jason can be heard. With the bass it's truly a fire breathing tone - if you thought it was heavy then be prepared to be shocked. Hetfields rendition of this and the crushing rhythm that's under the solo is just monstrous. Personally, I prefer the versions where you can hear Jason but not Kirk and Papa Het's rhythm is more interesting than the leads.

    It's pretty likely that the demo was pitched up due to the band wanting a tempo increase and speeding it up as a practice template of sorts, or maybe some other artifact of tape demo recording. I doubt they tuned up for the purpose. More likely to push the speed over the edge a bit, and give them a target.

      They probably didn't actually write it first, they probably played what sounded good to them, and it just so happened to work out brilliantly... Although, Cliff Burton was quite talented, and had an influence on how Metallica wrote music... this probably still influenced how they wrote music after he died.

    Hey Ben, could you do a lesson for the intro riff of "Killing is my business ... and business is good "?
    The riffs in that song are so hard to figure out.

    I thought you were talking about the riff at 3 mins 21 in the song. The one before this riff

    Could you do a part 2 of Damage inc including the middle section with the weird gallops? At the 3:15 in to the song.

    great stuff, can you do the first solo of the conjuring (megadeth) please? i hear 2 guitars overlaping in the original recording, it's really weird.

    Can we get a lesson for Racer X's 'Gone too far?' That intro riff is immense.

    Where did you get the 3120? Always wanted one of those!

    Ben, you should see what's going on with that riff before the first two verses of one start. The tab book seems to be quite different from how they play it live. Haven't ever been able to make it sound quite right.🤘

    Thanks very muich for that, I wonder if you could work out the quick hammer on/pull off riff from near the end of Bad Omen by Megadeth that starts at 3:35. I know it's tuned quarter step down and I'm playing E standard so it will sound a bit off anyway, but watching live vids from 86 & 87 it seems Dave plays in the 5th position, but i can't seem to work it out 100%

      jiantjingerjohn Don't know if you already got it but I think it is 7-5 on the D string the first time and then 5-7-8-7 the second time (I play it on the A string though)
