The inclusion of the Guitar Center riff is so clever. You wouldn't expect it in a Metallica top, but it's still technically a James Hetfield riff. Great selection!
Reminds me of Tears In A Vial
Hm sorry but what is "Guitar Center" exactly ? ^^;
@@tsht It's a chain of music stores. Some years ago James Hetfield was interviewed in one, and he played some Metallica riffs as well as a few riffs we haven't heard in any Metallica songs before.
Kinda has that Rhiannon feel!
I’m not surprised that that’s your profile picture 👍
What surprises me is the way James play this riffs while singing it live. The guy's a monster
*with higher speed 😂😂
And dp (down picking )
I guess you could say that he’s Some Kind of Monster (sorry, the opportunity was right there so I went for it)
I mean he makes it look easy while singing. By all means there is nothin easy about it that should say it all
Dave mustaine, even with the beef with his former band mates, admits that James may be one of the best rhythm guitarists of all time; means a lot coming from him, in a number of ways.
There is only a small number of basic havey metal riffs. You shouldnt have a monopoly on such heavy rock like so, common heavy sounds that are beautiful to the human ear.... simple paterns... easily discovered by a 4 year old. ... Fn piss me off...
He ws being generous, obviously.
Dave is a big fan of James
@@kiillabytezhe was telling the truth.
@@kiillabytezDave doesn't do generosity...
Hetfield has been the king of metal rhythm for a long time. He is a machine and I think it gets forgotten many times how great he is overall. He is one of the greatest guitar players of all time, because it shouldn't come down to only primary lead players being great.
You never forget that James besides this sick riffs sings along 🤯
thats right
Absolutly right broe❤
And he does it extremely well. He sings much better than most
''KIRK HAMMETT: James would show Cliff and me the riffs, and we'd build the songs from there. Some I'd already be familiar with. The main riff in ''Battery'', for instance: the first time I heard James play that was iin England, on his acoustic guitar. We were watching THE YOUNG ONES on the BBC, and all of a sudden he started messing around with this sort of galloping rhythm. I said, ''Wow, that's cool''. And so when it came time to start learning stuff, I'd often hear a riff and say, ''Oh, okay. I know that one.""
"JAMES HETFIELD: The ''Battery'' intro happened pretty much out of boredom. I remember sitting on the couch at Carlson, not being able to sleep. Back then, when channels signed off at night, they'd play the national anthem, but Channel Four in the Bay Area played a classical piece [Faure's ''Pavane'']. It was such a great melody. I'd grab an acoustic, play along, and eventually wound up with a chord progression that got me thinking, WHAT WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE INTRO? I wanted something with a lot of build that would raise your hair up and give your goosebumps. The acoustic part starts, and it's building like an approaching storm. Something's coming. You can feel it. It starts off soft and quiet, then boom! The heaviness takes you to another level. I thought, 'Oh, man. This is how I want to start the record. This is how I want to start the show.'"
"KIRK HAMMETT: We were drinking at the Carlson house one night, and Lars turned on the tape deck: "Listen to this, man. Fostex Multitrack Mesa/Boogies with James playing the heaviest riff ever!" It was the main riff to 'Master of Puppets', which had been quadrupled on all four tracks and sounded super heavy. And I knew it immediately as this joke riff that James would always play on the D string. He just dropped it down to the low E string and it was suddenly this whole other thing."
"HAMMETT: I’ll tell you how the main [descending] riff to “Master of Puppets” came about. On the Ride the Lightning tour, James would always play the riff in the dressing room, but on the D string, and I’d play it simultaneously on the G string as a parallel-fourths harmony line. It sounded really dorky and funny. Then one day at rehearsal, James said, “Let me show you this really heavy song intro,” and proceeded to play that exact riff on the low E string. I said, “Ah, so you finally found a use for that dorky little thing!” It’s anything but dorky now."
"James would show Cliff and me the riffs, and we'd build the songs from there"... Neat, the Chili Peppers, Fuciani and Flea would show Keidis the riffs and he would match lyrics to it.... usually. neat how things work. :)
@@MrWolfheart111 Music is wonderful!
The transition from Master of puppets to The Shortest straw is fucking epic 🤘🏻
Definitely, another one like that for me was Frayed Ends of Sanity to Battery, like goddamn that was clean
GUITAR CENTER RIFF IS SO GOOOOD
Thanks for including it
Beginner guitarist just hanging around in youtube....kickass riffs...i'll come back in couple years ;)
That bass tone is killer
This reminds me of something that left me perplexed about the verse riff in Moth Into Flame. I want to preface by saying that I have the utmost respect for Kirk Hammett.
Now, in the interview he did with Rick Beato, he talks about that riff talking about how James still comes up with new ideas.
Then, he says something along the lines of "like the verse riff of Moth Into Flame, it's like a pull off gallop mix, nobody has ever done that before, that's James creating new ways of playing". He says this dead serious. Like. Brother. How.
Kirk knows almost nothing about metal music outside of late 70s/early 80s new wave of british heavy metal stuff.
Your channel is awesome to jam along with. Nothing but tasty riffage!!! Ive been binge jamming along to your vids last few days. Thanks for such great content!!!🤘
James' ability to downpick fast is amazing, makes some of these songs hard to play if you dont have a lot of stamina like master of puppets or creeping death.
Greatest right hand ever.
disposable heroes
Creeping death isn't that hard
@6MetalHead66 maybe not, but it's also nearing 7 minutes in length. You factor that in, and it's tough to play
battery is easily one of the best metal riffs ever
Love the inclusion of Fixxxer, such an overlooked gem! If that was a Tony Iommi riff it would be one of his greatest
It made me realize how this riff sounds like Black Sabbath with that crushing tone
Hell yeah, from one riff lord to another@@TheMaxyms
I've always believed that was Kirk the one who wrote that riff but maybe he wrote the chorus instead.
It's practically the main riff of Electric Funeral.
Something about that guitar center riff man, just sounds amazing🔥
I was expecting the "Guitar Center Riff" as a joke for Enter Sandman but it got me so unexpected. Amazing
Thank you so much for including that last one, i used to go to the guitar center video just to hear that riff over and over
Amazing work man! The reason I started playing guitar. Keep up the great content.
Amazing video, and amazing playing.👏👏👏👏
Hello, I'm not sure if you'll have the chance to read my comment since you probably receive hundreds of them every day, but I wanted to let you know that you're incredibly talented. I really appreciate your videos, and I would be thrilled if you could one day publish a video just like this one but featuring the top 20 Testament riffs (please, only from their first 5 classic albums) and another dedicated to Overkill (please, only from their early albums with Bobby Gustafson). I understand that creating such beautiful, accurate, and precise videos like these takes a lot of time, but I'm confident (my two cents) that releasing two videos of this kind would help you gain new fans and set you apart from the many TH-camrs who primarily focus on Metallica songs (of which there are already plenty of videos). Thank you! Lorenzo
metallica>>>
I'd love to hear that Overkill one! I say them waaay back in the day, wanna say around '92ish. Great fucking show. I wish I could have seen Metallica or Megadeth in such a small venue! (Saw them both in what used to be the Capital Center in MD. Great shows, but nowhere near the floor, much less a pit.
@@huntzzioGen Z wannabe metalhead try not to be a douchebag challenge 100% impossible
awesome clean and accurate playing!
🍀😎🍀
You might have as well done 100 best riffs written by James Hatfield.
Guy's a riff machine
That was Awsome man 🤟🏽 well done! 🤙🏽
NO WAY U DID THE GUITAR CENTRE RIFF IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR IT FOR SO LONG THANKYOU
Superb stuff, rock on man!
Man thx for the guitar center riff
One of my favorites is right after Kirk's solo on Dyers Eve, that riff is definitely top 10
That was some damn good guitar playing! You did a great job!
Your guitar playing is amazing. You make it look it easy.
Studied aka learned a lot of Metallica when I was first learning how to play guitar, both rhythm parts and bass lines.
Hetfield and Iommi. Their influence cannot be understated on me as a guitar player. Also that riffage on Frayed Ends is beyond fun.
Awesome as always!! You Rule Ibrahim Birdal!! Thank you for your videos...Neil
The transition from Fight Fire to Hit The Lights was epic. 🤘🙂🔥
DUDEEEEEEEEEE the transition from dyers eye to master of puppets is soooooooooooooooo clean!
Now I’ve got my weekend planned
It’s still stuff like this that just confirms James is one of the absolute GOATs of rhythm guitarists, the dude just comes up with such killer riffs it’s fucking awesome… Props for including that Guitar Center riff at the end, I always love going back to watch that video and it just shows he can come up with anything… If that’s not put in a Metallica song soon I’m using it for my own band because that riff is way too good not to keep around
OMG !!! thanks for the Guitar Center riff !!!!! AWESOME!!!!!
awesome riff at the end
Very nice. Love it
And you recorded this video nonstop!!!
great playing bro, love the SoA t shirt
great material for self-study!!!
The transition of The Frayed Ends of Sanity is such an underrated riff
James is the best rhythm guitar everrr. This riffs are insane! I love play they, my favorites: Master Of Puppets, Creeping Death, Seek And Desteoy, Blackened and Disposable Heroes.
Motorbreath
Isn’t creeping death kirks riff
@@cherrytv4572Just the one during the bridge "die by my hand" part
Add Harvester and its perfect! For some reason😂 😂those are the ones (including some parts on Ride The lightning) that I'll just start playing if im short on inspiration
Excellent job
PURE DOPE BRO !!
Excellent skills! I’ve got two comments:
1. The bridge riff in Leper Messiah is definitely a top 20 riff.
2. The Master of Puppets riff is Kirk’s I’m pretty sure. It’s on one of the original Exodus demos. I even did a short clip on TH-cam comparing. I also think Kirk said it was his in an interview. No doubt Hetfield improved it.
Kirk wrote the pre chorus riff
@@Ryu_Ake he wrote that one too. David Bowie wrote the riff shortly after KH’s lead
I think the master of puppets main riff is written by James as Kirk himself says James did but there is an old Exodus demo of a riff that Kirk wrote that has a similarity to it.
@@imagereflection4826Kirk wrote the pre chorus riff ( Come crawling Faster) part.
AGREED ON THE LEPER MESSIAH RIFF
Best Riff writer on the planet! Thanks so much!!! :DDDD
Literally started clapping once it finished. Fine piece of work you've done here good sir
GORGEOUS JAMES
Good job man
The riff from "Damage, Inc.", and the one created by Kirk, are one of the most menacing sounding riffs I've ever heard. That song is in my top 3 favorites from the MOP album
Very nice ! 👊
Thanks for starting with the most underrated song in their entire catalog!!! 🤘🤘🤘
An absolute riff festival.
In my opinion, Frayed stands out against the entire discography of Metallica.
There's just no other song that achieves so many moments of badassery.
It's like their magnus opus of "let's see YOU play this shit!" songs. 🤟😆🤟
Best! Thanks a lot!
Çok iyi bir video olmuş üstadım battery ve fade to black ayrıca hoşuma gitti 😊
The riff after the lead in Struggle Within. The main verse riff from Blackened ( Jason came up with the riff after the reversed guitars, not the whole song) The pre chorus riff in Straw. The riff in Devils Dance. The riff from Orion.
He's living legend!
Good job Ibo
this guitar tone is an absolute beast... i bet any metal riff just sound as good
The middle riff to Blackened should be on here.
Yes for sure.
One of my favourites
2:55 Funny that this is a one note riff but the timing is almost impossible to get right, well played sir.
papa het bro riff master 🤘🤘
This guitar sounds great
Thank you for playing the Damage Inc riff correctly!
James Hatfield is the Riff king!
James is the best
I love your jp guitar 😍
g'damn. your stamina is amazing! shredding for the masses! nice.....
you should do Greatest clean riffs in metal!!!
I've Never scene a guitar player grow out his Thumb Fingernail to use it as a Guitar Pick! Amazing!!!
Sick work!!! 🤘I mean your sound in some ways is even better!! Kirk better watch out
They may have fucked Jason over in AJFA but I’ve gotta admit it’s got some of the best riffs in their whole discography. Eye of the Beholder and To Live is to Die are my personal favourites.
Who is this man? So heavy and clean. On point! Great guitar playing
Frayed ends of sanity is one of the best off of AJFA imo
Frayed ends is the dopest of them all.
There was a confusion about Frayed 7060 on low E, or 6050 under Uncle Ben's lesson. I even chequed it with tuner, and it showed B/Bb. I did it one more time after this video, it still shows B/Bb.
Guitar center riff is badass
"Guitar center riff" hahaahaha, amazing!
Tony Iommi = Riff Lord
James Hetfield = Riff King
Absolutly right brother and you get some that never take in best James riffs.....Thanks my friends to put some of great riffs from hem.people put always same but they are not the best à d Metallica gots almost all the best riffs with Slayer and Megadeth too.....🤘🤘🤘Nice vidéo. Respect from Belgium
Film gibi, eline sağlık.
Great vid, good downpicking tempo. I thought there were some notes/chord here or there james plays a little different but hey, who's paying attention right. Liked the tone to, great work.
Eline sağlık!
Ellerine saglik ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice
Одни из лучших рифов на Земле - это рифы Джеймса!
what kind of drums do you use in your videos? Are these VST plugins, or backing track?
First riff of the video is written by Kirk. Great video and playing.
I think it's James?
@@imagereflection4826 no
@@MBBGun14 How do you know that riff is Kirk's? I don't think I've heard riff tape of it
@@imagereflection4826 because Kirk is credited as composer so he must have written some riff. I wouldnt bet main riff so I guess its this one. I think also James mentioned it in some interview .
@@MBBGun14 You could be right, I just listened to James's riff tapes of the song and it has the main riff and verse riffs so that only leaves the intro and this riff as process of elimination so could well be right! It's an awesome riff anyway.
İbrahim abi tek başına Metallica Türkiye şubesi bildiğin cansın
fade to black riff my favorite
I was wondering if you kept the same guitar tuning or switched tunings. Eg The God that Failed.
3:27 main riff of Dyers is Kirk's. The next part (the one with the 0-2-0-2 break) IS James'
Did you pitch shift for Sad But True with a pedal or is the video a mime to a pre recorded medley? Im just curious lol
Thanks mate! Got carpal tunnel syndrome in the first 10 mins of this video...
Master master ❤master
Next video MUST be best 20 Mustaine riffs.
Support this comment with 👍
totally agree!!!
The master of down picking
nice
Last one 👏👏👏
