Thanks, hope you enjoy the vids as much as I do making them. :)
Hey everyone. Thanks for the comments. Once again I woke up to about 200 of them so it'll take some time to respond to everyone plus I'm practicing more riffs. haha. Anyhow I know I play Dyers Eve funny. When I was 15 I bought the AJFA tab book and it sucked but I didn't knot it at the time. The main riff for Blackened was literally written x 7 x 7 x 787 on one string. Anyhow I learned Dyers Eve from that same book and have failed to update it to the straight version. It's good to know that the real version is less difficult. ;)
Those tab books are filled with mistakes man
There was an issue of Guitar World years ago where Kirk Hammett goes over a bunch of Metallics licks and almost all of them were different from the tab books.
I was gonna say because you don’t pull off from the third fret
Fantastic dude love your videos and tutorials AND your love and reverence for the mighty Metallica. I wish Metallica would do a heavier than hell itself rendition of Sabbaths “Lord of this World” - one of the heaviest catchiest coolest riffs /song ever by the creator Mr Iommi. Better yet- have Iommi join Metallica for the version! My head and ears would explode!
aw man, i thought you were going to rank all 37 riffs from the song 'and justice for all.'
BeBopScraBoo Yeah that's confusing
Well he could do it with a dream theater song
Ikr lol there are so many riffs in that song though actually
Lmao
Seriously...
#1 riff is Blackened bridge. Yeah! I think this is one of the meanest riffs of Metallica.
The riff after is better, right before the solo.
You mean the frayed ends of sanity riff is 1#. I know it’s an opinion but the frayed ends of sanity is the best song on the album
my favourite album, by far.
1:01 add "ah yeah!"....probably, its the riff itself which makes guitarist move the head like this. Like it!
Best of the mighty Metallica!
SO fucking nice, bro.
I'm fanboying hard right now.
Ha. The Frayed Ends of Sanity Intro #2 is one of the few I can play from this album and I love it. I guess I just need to get gud.
Best album by Metallica in my opinion
7:20 Oh no what have you done!
Not mad at being #5 but I think Blackened main riff is the nastiest riff on the record
Growing conspiracy
Right arm is killing me
Frayed riffs of sanity
Hear them calling me
The Hardest Metallica album in my opinion!
It's not just your opinion, Metallica themselves rarely play anything on this album because it is too hard for them now
Calin Nita they can easily play, its just blrong to play livr cus os long songs, except for harvester and blackened and one, they flow pretty well
@@recipoldinasty No, Dyers Eve is probably their hardest song ever.
It's nerve racking
@TigMon They don't play and justice for all often because it's such a long song
These videos have made me inspired to play more Metallica, would love to see more videos like this.
Metallica has been my only inspiration since 1992. Oh yea, also the year of my Divorce.
The song and justice for all deserves way more love
True. Dyers eve though.
its myfav song
@John Callenbach no such thing as too long
@@tcg1_qc james himself thinks its overdone. sooo.
i disagree tho haha i love it.
@@davidjaymz64 me too I think they could of shorten it but I still love it for it is
People don't understand, how so much of Metallica is melodic and technical. I think it's amazing.
Thank you.
That's what I miss when looking for other technical thrash records in search of a similar sound, many albums like Contradictions Collapse can match AJFA for technicality, but they just don't have the melody and soul that this album has.
AJFA was the proggiest they ever got.
The riff under Frayed Ends solo is very underrated, it's a crazy riff
Absolutely! Shame it's hidden under a solo.
that is an absolute genius masterpiece! It is incredible how it goes unoticed by so many, just like battery, dyers eve and so many others
It’s so good!
Maybe im a bit frisky, but this «series» is going to be your most watched videos 👍 Have a nice weekend man!
That tiny Marshall amp is cranking out some serious tone man! 🤘🤘🤘
Those of you that thought he's serious. Mike is using a kemper
I was just being funny! I know he wasn't using the little marshall amp!
kinda sounds like one tho ngl
Lmfao
How do I like this twice
James Sappington make another TH-cam account
You can spend some money on Pakistani like farms.
All "to live is to die" clean parts are GREAT! One of the most underrated metallica songs, I guess. Great content, by the way!
Whole album is equally great in my opinion
84-96 Metallica is great
Fun Fact: When James plays his solo on to live is to die you can actually hear bass! It's the only part of the album with audible bass
@@payblo2734actually you can hear the bass throughout the whole album if you have headphones with decent quality, but they basically removed all the bass out of the bass if you know what I mean and left the mids. So it’s like another guitar track which it makes it super hard to hear and he basically plays the same thing as James the whole time. You can clearly hear bass at the end of blackened as well
The pre solo parts that Kirk writes are so good.
Kirk doesn't write pre solo parts
@@LowRiderFuckYou damage inc, kirk wrote that riff and is an Amazing riff, one of the heaviest of metallica
My favourite riff is #37 rip
Same lol
Mine is 36 :(
I would have put the Blackend intro riff #1, one of the most chillful and memorable intros of all time! (I mean, the very first riff, even though it's on reverse xD)
@@gsav-o1539 I would consider it a riff, even though it's only played once. But you can recreate it, so there's that
looking out for best st anger solos
I like the grin at 7:44 that's the "I feel super cool playing this" face.
That pre solo riff of frayed ends of sanity is prolly my favorite riff by Metallica
Same for me
My favorite is the "under solo riff" but pre is right w/ it. So underappreciated.
Dyers Eve main riff is supposed to be played as straight alternate picking , not 2-3-2-3-2-3 :D
Except for the intro ;). There it's like Mike plays it. Very hard to hear, though. Took me quite some time to hear it.
Florian Stumpf No it is always 2-2-2-2-2-2-2
@@florianstumpf4349 The only 2-3s are on the slower, downpicked parts like in the intro you mention.
James Hetfield himself said that it was 2-2-2-2-2-2 only
It's still good tho
Outstanding album, and I believe Metallica most powerful one. The loss of Cliff leads the band to pour out their hearts and become much more vulnerable during justice. I love it, great job man!
Also to cancel all signs of there being a bass player on the album 😂
Best Metallica album I think
i love how fast your releasing these vids so could you make a megadeth one now
Eye of the Beholder is so underrated.
Lovely video! Inspires me to play more Metallica! \m/
That album has amazing riffs. I was always amazed how various Metallica riffs are. Especially the clean bits! They're genius with their clean melodies
I felt instantly betrayed when you put AJFA as your second lowest. That’s my favorite song off of ajfa :((
i’ll never get tired of to live is to die’s clean intro riff. some of the best stuff james ever wrote to be honest. i prefer it over the clean bridge riff :)
Actually I think that part was written by cliff!
@@connorross4336 I think it's the interlude riff that Cliff wrote.
@@maxlm07 James wrote the interlude
@@imagereflection4826 hi ali, good to see you here!
Frayed Ends of Sanity is THE ultimate riff song. It has so many excellent riffs w/ odd timing and pure balls. The "under the solo riff" is my favorite all-time riff and I'd never even noticed it till the Justice box set came out a few years ago. Really wish it'd had its own moment to shine.
I love your list. Mine would be a little different:
1) AJFA verse riff (E power chord into E and A open into E power chord then a rapid palm mute gives me the chills).
2) To Live Is To Die breakdown riff (clean).
3) Blackened main riff.
4) Blackened post-main riff.
5) Frayed Ends Of Sanity intro (the buildup is awesome).
6) ... I just realized how difficult it must have been for you to organize this list, I keep reordering things, so I'll stop here. Anyway, great job!
Congratulations on getting past the most difficult Metallica album, riffwise. I've been super into each of these videos, as a guitarist and a Metallica fan, and while you nailed the first three albums, I have to admit I wasn't sure how you were going to single out or play the epic riffs of ...and justice for all. The good news is now you get to relax your wrist for the next 4 albums. I hope you continue on with every Metallica album!
It was a long night. ;)
@@TheArtofGuitar nice job! BUT, there's no 2323232 in the main Dyers Eve riff, just straight 22222222 ;)
The best metallica album imo and one of the best of all time from start to finish, up there with rust in peace and operation mindcrime
37 ..And justice for all bass riffs ranked and performed
What bass? haha
@@TheArtofGuitar exactly
The Frayed Ends Of Sanity is one of my favorite, if not my all time favorite song of all time, and in my opinion the one of the best, possibly even the best song ever written on the face of the earth. It’s dark, mysterious, ominous yet powerful and meaningful lyrics. The badass rhythm guitar, the outstanding drum solo before the bridge riff... but then again, ...AJFA is the most badass album in all of history, in my opinion, and host to my favorite songs of all time. Perhaps sharing that spot with Metallica songs from other albums.
Wow I thought I was the only one to rank that exact album and that exact song as my No1 combined.
The bridge in One after the final chorus and before the double bass part is the best riff on the whole album. The harmonies. Mean, powerful, so much grit yet so beautiful.
Bro the one that wasn’t on this list ? It’s so damn good . The one that sounds like you’re finna go to war listening to it ?😂
You're doing an amazing job, man. Nice choices, although the Blackened main riff would always be my number one from this album. Again though, keep up the good work.
Tis a beauty, I think Jason wrote that right?
That guitar fill that happens every last bar of that main Blackened riff is frustrating as hell. Especially the picking is so undoable for me now.
*What I'm really looking forward is: Death Magnetic riffs*
Frayed ends riffs are criminally underrated
The ultimate riff song.
I really love the Frayed Ends verse riff for some reason!
The whole song is full of amazing riffs. I recommend focusing on James' riff during Kirk's solo. It's so damn good!
@@Walamonga1313 one of James best work, love that part
Ive always called this the greatest album of all time
This video confirms that. What a STACKED album
5:52 love it but i wont call it a breakdown, id call it an interlude. you want a breakdown? you listen to the end of Gojira's - Remembrance
not the most brutal gojira breakdown, listen to the breakdown for flying whales, where dragons dwell, or to sirius, so heavy.
Every time you make a new Metallica video your tone improves. This is the best one yet. You’re getting that tight but big bass response and a lot of aggressive bite from the strings. I love the rawness of your passives pickups.
Now that I’ve watched this a few times. It sounds similar to the demo tone they used. Go listen to the demos and see what I’m talking about. Nice job mike.
Loved your Metallica riff series
Do pantera or Zeppelin next
You are the "One of a Million" players and teachers!......Wish i had 10% of your talent!......
Please give us a few more lessons! You are our absolutely favorite teacher on TH-cam!
Thank you very much for you time you spend for streaming your videos.
You are amazing! Nice greetings from Vienna!
Never thought Metallica could sound so good on an SG.
Why? Metallica has played Gibson guitars with humbuckers off and on since the early 80s. The SG sounds almost the same as the Gibson Flying V
I love this Metallica riff series. I've been playing guitar for two years, and this has kindve been motivating me to learn more Metallica riffs
I wonder what the next video will be. And I really wonder which riff will be No. 1.
~stares at enter sandman~
My favorite riff from that album is actually wherever I may roam. Probably the heaviest Metallica song.
@@thewisebread3653 Yeah! Soo heavy,maybe next to sad but true
@@therealstrike.
Y'all ever Heard The Thing That Should Not Be?
@@dannytheguitarwarrior He'll yeah!
Killer tone match. That clean chorus tone is amazing
Damn I'm surprised you didn't put the intro riff for Frayed Ends of Sanity. The Wizard of Oz chant is pretty fun for me to play.
Oreo
My favorite Metallica album!
My favorite riffs: 3, 5 and 11. 6 and 21 are iconic, of course. 4 for the speed and aggression, I think Metallica themselves can't even play it. It's never in their set list.
Ok, I'll add 14 for the sound of that trill.
They've played Dyers Eve 2 or 3 times (Nimes and Mexico, both in 2009, come to mind)
MrTubularBalls they can play Dyers Eve, the only reason they don’t is because the double bass during the verse riff is way too fucking hard for Lars
There’s something missing in your tone. Idk it needs bost and more power.
And my favorite too, this the most technical album from Metallica
OK, I'm watching all these riff vids and all i want to know is: WHAT IS THAT WEIRD LOOKING TAILPIECE on your SG?
Are we going to get the black album next? I know it’s not a popular opinion but imo Metallica’s heaviest album, it has some really fun riffs.
Also these videos are great because they helped me notice a couple of mistakes I’ve been making when playing these riffs.
Edit: Number 10 is probably my number one favorite riff from the album, and favorite riff of all time.
I had an SG for my first guitar. Thanks Dad. It's amazing how well the SG can replicate all the heavy rock sounds. And of course your skill as well. Thank you.
Considering some of my favorite riffs were at the bottom of the list, it is suffice to say that this album was possibly their best.
Taking everything into consideration, I think AJFA is the best Metallica album. James is at his peak topped off with an amazing rhythm tone, Kirk’s solos are outstanding, drum tone is good, my only complaint is about the lack of Jason’s bass, but the album is just too perfect to describe. Blackened has the best main riff of any Metallica song, and the frayed ends of sanity is such an underrated masterpiece. Of course, all the songs are great with headbangers such as One, To Live Is To Die, and Dyers Eve. Long story short, AJFA is awesome. You rock, Mike.
Was the 23232323 instead of 2222222 an Easter egg in that video, or were you still influenced by those horrible tab books from the 80’s?!? You know what riff I’m talking about!
I clicked Like even before watching your riffs of AJFA!
Yes, i did watch MoP riffs
And justice for all post solo riff is one of the most headbanging riffs
I need this type of video for each remaining Metallica album!
I taught myself how to play all these riffs. That’s actually how I learned guitar. Oh, and the intro to “Eye of the Beholder” is downpicked
Metalllicas best album imo. One of the best albums ever from earth. If I were an alien this is the quality of music id expect from earthlings.
5:52 number 10 is my favorite probably. Also really like the solo in the song after that part which I believe is played by James if I'm not mistaken...!
Everything else is debatable but you sure got number one right. 👍
Anyone else love that block of clean guitar from 1:55 to 2:20? That was my absolute favorite part of this.
For me the intro riffs from The Frayed Ends of Sanity are some of the best, greetings from Mexico man
The best riffs are the first riff of Blackened, the last riff of Dyer’s Eve and every riff in between!!
seems like frayed ends of sanity alone has 37 riffs xD
I bet you hetfield downpicked the bridge riff for one
Ok, now I feel better knowing that you struggle playing dyers preverse too 😂
Bruh, what about Eye of the Beholder chorus riff!
I love the bridge riff from One after the third chorus. I guess there is way too many riffs to do them all in this video lol
Love this video series. This is my favorite early-era Metallica album.
For some reason in this video I'm noticing the the album art blocking the view of the neck, though, and It's really bothersome :(
Dude that pre-chorus riff on shortest straw legit i thought had #1 potential and i saw it at #33! (i’m a guitarist too and greeting from St. Louis!🤘)
Can you do metallica guitar technices video?
He did that already.
He already did, go check it out
It already be done check out his channel
He's already done it
He's already done one
So how many riffs got left out?
The clean intro and clean breakdown riff of To Live Is To Die will always be two of my favorite Metallica riffs.
I LOVE THE FRAYED ENDS OF SANITY VERSE RIFF. Thanks bro.
What about that heavy post solo riff of Blackened?
That was pretty bad ass.
"Breakdown riff" Ikr that To Live is To Die riff causes me such a mental breakdown that I start crying everytime
Now please do the solos
And Justice for You,you're the Man who have the balls to make a top 37 of this freaking album!
And you played Flipping Off the others just like Kirk Hammett plays! You're Awesome
Awesome, i think Justice is their hardest album to play. You pulled some amazing riffs from it.
The best riff on this album or any metallica album imo is the one James plays behind the solo on The Frayed Ends of Sanity. I wish it was included here.
Goddam right! Glad I'm not alone in this. Best riff ALL-TIME!
Being my all-time favorite Metallica album, I sat headbanging in front of my computer with the biggest smile on my face. 💜
COMPLETELY agree with the top 10!
Damn man. I know you have the speed. I’ve seen your video on down picking.. I think your missing a couple notes on the one end riff...
Can’t help tapping along to these videos. Reminds me of the hours spent trying to learn these albums in my room with an epiphone sg and a laney amp 20 years ago. Great stuff. Made me pick up my guitar instantly.
I bought this album on vinyl when it came out in 88, always been one of favourites....... A true masterpiece
Great series !! I must say ! Pls cover more bands too!!! Keep up the good work mike!!!
Man, you missed my favourite riff from the album (the one from Eye of the Beholder where James sings, “Doesn’t matter what you see, or into what you read...”). But hey, still a great video.
