Metallica - Fade To Black
Fade To Black Original Guitar Player: Kirk Hammett
Guitar Solo Cover by David Escobar
Solo Of The Week: 16 Metallica - Fade To Black
Wanna learn this and all the other guitar solos note for note? I’m available for Skype lessons, just send me a message to davidescobarguitar@gmail.com and we can take it from there.
The perfect solo
60% melody
30% shred
10% bend
100% badass
Its a little bit of all
Not necessarily. David Gilmours solos are also amazing, but they have no shred. They make up for that with melody and lots of bends.
The bend should be more 😂
@@Luaporleafcutterant David Gilmour...please. Maybe someone like Paul Gilbert...
I always found this solo to be so sad despite being fast, it fits the song so damn well.
Try listening to the song in Eb tuning, makes it sound a lot more sombre and dark
Right? When the harmonizing melodies kick in and the solo starts I feel like slowly falling into the abyss.
@@Tcrumpen eb Hendrix?
Solo of the week? This is the solo of the millenium!!!
i agree bro!! :)
Exactly.
Only those who have just lately picked up guitar would say that :P
Listen to Megadeth and you'd be disillusioned....
Pravesh Dhavale no metallica is the best band ever 🤘🏻 megadeth is just a fake 😂
ps: just a joke but metallica rules 🤘🏻
there is nothing from Megadeth that beats fade to black solo
P.S. i'm a Megadeth fan
One of the most beautiful solos in metal history.
Listen to Townsend - Deep Peace solo
@@putinstea not even close.
What kind of drugs does it take to dislike this? Seriously...
right?
FadeToShadow How did they even end up in such Glorious place
got it, cause escobar.. oh.. yeah
You know the video's good when you see dislikes
tabs?
1:18 dat vibrato
+Multiheall Caos I did a cover of this solo in my channel im so much better. haha just kidding
My comment was a joke, not a dick. Don't take it too hard
+Multiheall Caos HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Onyetenyewve Ossas fuck outta here
That vibrato was beautiful
for those of you trying to follow this tab, just thought i'd save you a headache the tab part that starts at 1:58 is incorrect.. It should be 19 (on the B string) instead of 17, which you can clearly see David Playing 19. :)
Why the end solo fades out:
*Kirk starts recording the solo*
James: Kirk staph
*Kirk continues*
Mixer: *drops down the volume*
lmao
krik no
the mixer was crying so much and all tears drop through the volume button and the volume dropped down :/
He had gloves when he entered the tattoo salon. Nice cover by the way! :D
hahaha thanks
Good one :)
The outro solo is what made me love Kirk Hammett. Such a good way to introduce yourself as Metallica’s new guitarist as well
first metallica solo i learned, still is a blast to play it, Mr. Hammet at his best, clean and beautiful solo with no wah wah shit on it. I wonder if they still are capable of write another song like this? yeah I know it is the past, but you cant deny the quality of fade to black. Great work dude as usual in your videos.
Halo On Fire imo is almost as good as Fade To Black
ur cool jesus
I don't get everyone's problem with wah pedals. They sound fucking awesome.
I think this solo uses Wah for a short time on the 7-10 frets with 16ths
the entire song was recorded with w wah wah in the up position... fuck you
Holy crap. That was gorgeous.
I'm probably older than most tubers here and I remember blasting this in 1985 at age 15. This song never ages.
What you hear is just the guitar plugged into the Mesa Boogie Mark V, and after recorded I added some delay in the mix.
Im 18 right now.. I remember when i was growing up i heard, Kirk, Van Halen, Rhoads, and a million others and i had just prayed to be on their level one day. And i remember id practice for like, 8 hours sometimes, just nonstop everyday, i wanted so bad to be like them. And im pretty happy to say, i can play this, a bunch of other crazy songs. Its the best feeling ever being able to do this kind of stuff
Pepper Ludemann how long have u been playing for?
LOL. He posted that 2 years ago xD
@@Ground_Zero_13 So?
@@berni2905 I'm 16 and I can play it too (mostly). I play everyday about 2 hours, sometimes more. I play the guitar for more than 8 years, but the electic guitar "just" 4
@@juwe3727 How does this answer my question?
(don't mind me just making time stamps for myself)
0:06
0:12
Started to learn the main solo, then i realized that my guitar only has 21 frets :(
You can still do the intro solo.
me too lol
Take 22 with banding what else to do? My previous guitar was 22 and I was always pissed that I can't play things which include 24 fret guitar especially kick ass arpeggios of Jason Becker in Serena! So yeah get a new guitar hopefully
+David Aghamalyan i think im gonna buy a 30 fret guitar... 😂😂😂
Look its like this if you are 21 you need 21 frets if you are 30 then 30 frets! Thats what Jimmi Hendrix said when he was high on weed and was wearing his psychedelic bandana
I suppose this is the first lead guitar I ever attempted....all those years ago. I very well may have practiced this song more than any other, ever. I think the advantage of tackling an ambitious song like this (and bypassing all the beginner bullshit), is that once you can play it, you can play nearly anything. F**k "On Top of Old Smokey"... I wanted to play Metallica. So, I did it.
I seriously thought I was the only one who began playing like that! In a few months it will be 3 years since I started playing, but literally when I first picked it up I was like eff all those easy bands and songs I wanna play Avenged Sevenfold and metallica and after lots of practice I was able to play lots of solos just in a few months! Now I can basically learn anything in a few minutes if I feel like trying. In my opinion when people tell you to start easy its a waste of time start hard so your mind is used to playing hard things then eventually within a year of just learning hard things you'll be up there! So tip for guitarist out there if you strive to be good start hard and you'll be able to do anything and play a killer solo like its green day haha:)
Yeah I played the easy songs for about two months then moved on to attempt Van Halen songs. That was when my playing really began to improve.
NasalData yeah I know I headed straight for harder stuff I sucked horribly at first but I was determined I learned my first solo at 3 months in!
Same exact thing I did except with Van Halen Beat it solo. Very first song I started learning. It took a few months but I’m able to play it full speed now. Every song after that comes easy. also people think I’ve been playing for years and are very surprised when I tell them it hasn’t even been a year yet.
Until you enter megadeth territory, I began with sabbath since it’s my favorite band, the solos and songs became a bit too easy so I moved onto Metallica as megadeth ( my second favorite) is much too hard at my level.
This is BY FAR the best version of this solo on TH-cam. Finally someone plays the riff at 1:12 properly...
Walter McWilliams Right? Been trying to find how to play it properly as this is the only lick I struggle playing in this song lol.
Wow, you simply nailed that solo perfectly. Well done sir.
Hey David i dont know if you will see this but all i can say is thank you, going back to this video had me shed a tear going through the struggles of trying to learn this song and finally being able to play it. I always relied on your video to bring me into guitar so all i can say is thank you for that, i hope your doing well
Hey, I'm doing well, thanks for the beautiful words and you're most welcome!!!
@@DavidEscobarGuitar ❤️
I think I have watched this video 20 or 30 times... even more ^^ Learn theses solo is my real goal with the guitare, even if i'm only a beginner !
dang was going to reply saying. Hope you reach your goal. But you commented this 6 years ago. Hope you completed your goal.
You play it so smoothly! Ur the best guitarist on TH-cam who’s played this 🔥🔥🔥
OK ... you MUST do Metallica: One
DONE
4 years later :)
@@puchu_5001 now 6
after 1 month, 7
Ya
The second solo was the first solo I actually tried learning back when I started playing, still amazed by it
It was the first metallica's solo I've learned. It's a wonderful composition. Thank you for that amazing cover 👍
The most beautiful solo of all times.
A relatively easy solo but very well constructed. The way he switches B Phrygian and B eolian brings some special flavor to it. Kirk used it a lot at the beginning of his career. 5 stars.
I could never nail that semi-quaver lick at 25 seconds. I can probably still play most of the main acoustic melody behind the vocals with my eyes closed despite not owning a guitar since 2009. But that lick in the intro solo always stumped me even when I was practicing regularly.
Did you try to alternate pick all of it?
@@DoppeD I tried alternate, a sweep, hammer ons and pull offs. Could never get it.
@@eamonahern7495 I see. I guess we all have our Achilles' heel!
How is it going for you today? I found myself in the same pickle... The amount of hours i have poured into that tiny 9 notes bit, is absolutely ridicilous :D i think im starting to get there, but everytime i feel like im there, im not. endless circle
@BisseOnJees similar situation. I can get it at half speed but I always stumble when I speed it up.
1:18 that vibrato hunts me hahha i can't stop hearing it in my head !
hermano para decirte que tu elaboración y perfección de los solos están al 100% y veo que no es una fotografía pero de verdad tu calidad interpretativa y tu fidelidad a los temas originales es perfecta y gracias por compartir ese conocimiento. de verdad es de lo mejor que he encontrado en la red.
que grande
thanx sir.. these kind of tutorials are far better than those which teach by describing every note... thanx again
That sweep 9 bend - 7 - 10 - 7 in the second solo is really hard!
1:12 is the hardest
guitar warrior yea I still can’t play it lol
@@DevelDogg48 bro that is so easy
Vicente Sepulveda Bernales Sorry bro
I think I struggle the most with 2:15 - 2:19. There are no tabs in the video but this part is pretty hard to play perfectly.
no i can play it
That is the most early 90s looking guitar ever. I miss my 92' ex series so bad.
Thanks, it's a great and versatile amp, oh and I'm from Colombia.
By far the best cover of both solos on here, good job man!
Hey man, this is just unbelievable, great work. You should try Blackbird from Alter Bridge. ;)
This is my favorite cover of this solo.
Man, this is awesome. Great technique, intonation and style, as always. Btw, it's because of your videos that I've been improving my vibrato and overall playing, so THANK YOU!
Heard this (ending) solo probably over a thousand times....still a holy fuck moment every single time! Alchemy added to pain
Please do Creeping Death.
That tone is spot on
whats after the 9-9-9-9-9-9 bend? i wanna know :(
+majed wabbi
in my vision of what this song means...after 999999------> Death. Black.
+majed wabbi fade to black
I know this is a late reply, but look up the guitar hero version, it's the full version.
i want a tab since i play real guitar not random buttons on a stick
+majed wabbi its called google dude, just google "fade to black tabs" or check ultimateguitar
200k views on this video are from me. Amazing cover. Especially since he states in another video that he recreates every instrument for his backing tracks for copyright reasons. That's a lot of work. Bravo sir
Great!😍😍😍 I wish one day I'll play this solo too
Its technically not challenging I was playing at the early stages when I was learning how to play so your dream is not far away!
David Aghamalyan different people progress at different rates.
Chicken Boy Yeah Tell me about it just look at Tina S can you progress at her speed I don't think so!
Quantum Dave you mean the first one, dont you ? the second one is not easy in my opinion
My first metal solo, that beginning!
Your vibratos are absolutely amazing! I can't stop listening to them at 1:18 and 2:04.
I was wondering - I have trouble vibrato-ing well (I'm decent but not great), especially during bends.
Do you have any tips/suggestions/tutorials to help master vibratos during bends? I've viewed a lot of your solos, and your vibratos seem consistently good.
Thanks :)
Wow! That was mad impressive
Holy fuck. I've watched about 20 of these things now and a) can't believe it took me until now to find you on Facetube b) you make it look so fucking easy!
Muchas gracias por el apoyo, me alegra que te guste mi trabajo.
Awesome guitar skills! I'm gonna learn this too, using your tabs, thanks a lot for the video :)
That's definitely one great solo coming soon.
Kirk should seriously watch this,he always ruins this beautiful solo with his wahhhhhhhh
Ikr
Prateek Gautam Well he made up this solo. I'm sure he played it exacly like the studio recording live in the early days. Kirk likes to garnish his guitar solos now.
Prateek Gautam Well, therefore Kirk is a Wah-player. His instrument of choice is the Wah pedal
Prateek Gautam the playing in this video is teaching purposes on how to play tight with technique. Kirk hammet playes the Solo, with heart and feel and live u will never have dry tone such as it is here in the video. Therefore u dont play an Ibanez for bluesy solo like this, because the Ibanez guitars have a very modern dry sound but they dont add any flavour to your tone. So the Guitar is very good for learning but not for tone with decent flavour on its own. Ofcourse u can run the signal through pedals and modify the tone but the Ibanez itself has no flavour.
Prateek Gautam Where do you get off saying he can learn from it? This is his solo creep! He's the one who can do what ever he wants to with it as far as improvising.
He invented it!
Gracias por la sugerencia Milton, vamos a ver que puedo hacer.
Saludos.
2:18 the screen faded to black
one of the best solos in the world!🤘🤘
Dude that guitar is FUCKING beautiful! How much does one of those go for?
They actually prime the guitar body and dip it into a barrel of liquid with a layer of paint floating on top of the liquid. I don't know what the process is called, but you asked how, so.
He asked how much it costs
Yeah, I know. He should be able to inquire on his own now. But I really don't know how much it costs, as I do not live in the US or Europe where these are very common processes.
Christian Whitmore I'm pretty sure it's hydrodipped and could very well be custom
I remember having played this solo in 1997 in my at my school... they were good times...
Dude, you're good
Man, I really want to thank you for all the work you do ! Your videos are very usefull, no "blabla", so we can just learn the solo in the most quik way
you got talent!! you must make PARADISE CITY: guns roses
5 year ago i was listening same video and here i am again still trying to play
Superb, will my cort-x6 be good for this???
Off course, that's a nice guitar.
This song is the song that inspired me to start playing guitar . close your eyes and fade away. I still do when I hear or play it. I got goosies
how do you achieve this godly level of vibrato?
The most perfect of all time. Saudações do Brasil.
Got the exact same Ibanez. Beauty to play isn't it? :P
~ Jack, you mentioned having the same guitar > What model Ibanez is this (and yours?) Many thanks.
@@viresmedia3546 maybe it is ibanez rg 2570 prestige
Fantastic you are an awesome guitarist thanks for posting this video bravo man 🎸
u just played better then metallica congrats ^^
really hard to nail this one, damn thanks man
it's better on x2 speed it even makes lars ulrich drumming sounds cool kappa
Dude, it sounded insane on 2X, but I couldn't stop laughing when watching so XD
David, I want to thank you due watching your videos I have learned a few tricks and techniques to play right some songs. Like this one and rising force.
Keep doing that great work.
Greetings from mexico!
A lot of Kirk's playing is amateurish (especially live) but this has some really nice parts. Sounds amazing. Genuine guitar classic.
Thats BS. All his solos have something interesting. Specially from Ride to Load.
Disposables Heroes is one of the best metal solos ever.
The shortest straw is very hard and Dyers eve
Thanks ! I managed to play the intro on bass, I'll keep the end solo for somewhere else in time
You have to be ET for 2nd solos.... can't figure out to play it.....
I play this with Kirk Hammet picks! 🤘🏻
I know the solo but I can't play that fast, please someone help I'm hopeless...
***** You see I don't have so much problems with the shredding although I can't play them the original speed but the major problem is the lick, anyways thanks for the advice you convinced me to keep on!
There is no magic to learn fast.
Play it at the pace you usually do, commit it to muscle memory, and play it a little faster and faster until you get to full speed
play with a metronome! practice playing "in pocket", rhythmically, as if you are a drum! Seriously, if you start focusing on this your fast playing will get so much better
Probably the best and cleanest cover I've ever seen!
Well done
2:18 tabs plz
xCaarlos its on RTM s channel bro that fading part he transcribed it perfectly and that part is actually sexy
Download Songsterr
I like the start of the solo around 4:25 of the original played song
what is guitar name?
Robert
your bends are perfect...good job
He doesn’t write solos like this anymore, and it is so disappointing.
Almost there, more than 3 weeks practicing and I now can see the light at the end of the tunnel :)
LOL! You failed to nail Kirks shitty vibrato.....Your vibrato sounds really vice and vocal. Great playing man :)
irmasil3 Shitty Vibrato my ass
This is actually my favourite solo of all time. This and call of ktulu. And you executed it beautifully.
Estoy viendo lo que nunca are en mi vida :'c
y nunca lo harás si sigues pensando así, ve por tu guitarra y con ayuda de este video empieza a darle :D
alex3087 totalmente deacuerdo.
todo es imposible... hasta que se hace... :c lml
Se que se puede amigo
Pero obviamente este maestro tiene años de practica y manejo de la guitarra
Se puede :'v
Ritual Boat Música bro what tha fack yo solo llevo 2 años tengo 14 y lo puedo tocar tranquilo! tan solo necesitas practica y dedicación a tu instrumento.
Been working on these solos for probably 3 weeks now. Another couple of months and I'll be able to play them half as good as you :)
Totally wrong..........no Wah Wah
The wah does more feeling ,u can see at 85
Tes solos sont vraiment exécuté a la perfection et c'est un pure régale de t'écouter =)
Belan Valentin hooo un français cool super solo hin ?
