    What band should I do next ? Tell me in the comments section below. This is a compilation of several guitar harmonies by Metallica arranged in chronological order. It shows the evolution of the guitar harmonies themselves and how Metallica gradually drifted away from them in the 90s.
    Enjoy !

    this video does not include every single harmony that metallica ever wrote. the purpose of the video is to show the evolution of metallica's harmonies from album to album. everyone commenting about the exclusion of death magnetic, i hear you. i had completely forgotten that the album had awesome harmonies! i take complete responsibility for it!

    They have been using minor 3rds forever. Minor 3rd up and minor 3rd down from the base voicing is so iconic Metallica.

    • @metalhummus
      @metalhummus  3 роки тому +95

      I think you mean just 3rds, Metallica use both minor and major 3rds as long as it fits the scale they're using. But I agree, super iconic.

    • @arvaakuka8568
      @arvaakuka8568 3 роки тому +19

      I remember Kirk telling a story about Cliff showing him a harmony he’d written, Kirk commented that it sounded like Thin Lizzy, and Cliff said “That’s where I get all my shit, man.”
      Imagine if they’d covered “Whiskey in the Jar” back then. Cliff might have played the intro from Lizzy’s version on bass.

    This is an amazing idea, cool to check out especially for me because I've always wondered how harmonies in Metallica worked. Or even how they do in general.
    You played them in kinda of the same area of the neck, but you can play them wherever you like as long as you keep the interval range and the octave unaltered. There's so much room for imagination with them, maybe that's why a video about how to do harmonies is a rare sight.

    These are how I learned to play and write guitar harmonies as a kid. I'd record myself playing one line on a shitty old boombox, play back the tape and play the other line on guitar over it. And it was all Metallica, they did so much more for me to understand how harmony works than bands like Maiden or Priest (not that they're not good or anything, but I was more into Metallica then). Cool to see this video! And the part 2 for all the ones you missed here
