    Just a friendly reminder to check out my brand new guitar lesson platform Guitar Super System: musiciswin.com
    Also, let me know which Metallica solo you think is the hardest and which solo you’d like me to try and learn next!

      Is it really??? That's how i learn solos. I guess I didnt know it was that crazy, I learned early on when I tried learning shine by collective soul that tabs were shit, so i started tabbing by ear very early in my guitar playing years, maybe that gave me an edge and i didn't notice it? Idk

      If you learn a few Metallica solos by tab or TH-cam lesson (Chris Zoupa), you can get a general idea of what techniques Kirk uses in his solos. Like the pentatonic triplets or whatever. Then it will definitely be easier when you try to figure out another solo by ear

      Then again you can't really understand by ear what's being played on a distorted track, at least in my opinion, same goes to live videos, artists can play it differently and in different tuning
      Using something like transcribe can also help sometimes, but there's not really any solid way to learn something

    Very helpful, I'm trying to learn the lead parts. Lead is not really my forte. This song will be forty on July 27th. As all songs on RTL. I intend to cover this song in it's entirety for the RTL anniversary. It's my favorite song of all songs. I already have the Rhythm guitars, bass and drums recorded. This solo will be the biggest challenge for this project. So I really appreciate videos like this one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    I think the solos in The Shortest Straw, One, The Thing That Should Not Be, Battery, Fade to Black, and Harvester of Sorrow are pretty tough to master too. But yeah, Kirk solos like a mad man in the Creeping Death solo, for sure. I've always played his solos by ear too, except the leads/solos and the main solo in One, which was the first Full solo I learned when I was 11. I learned that one by tab in Guitar World Magazine. I had already gotten down a few parts of it by ear, but got the full solo downpat after I studied the tablature. Kirk has Always made badass solos, and they seem so effortless for him when you see them play live 🤦🏻‍♂️ I'll go back through some old Met songs and see what solos I remember being really hard to get down. Years ago, in my playing prime, I knew how to play every single Metallica song ever released up to S&M, as well as the solos and all lead parts. I seem to remember there being a tough solo or two on the Black Album, but I could be mistaken. Or they could've just seemed difficult for me at the time, for whatever reason 🤷🏻‍♂️ I did always like playing For Whom the Bell Tolls, all the leads and especially the solo 👍🏻🤘🏻 And the Sandman and Roam leads and solos. Sorry, I'll stop rattling off songs I like lolol 😂 Hard to contain myself when it comes to Metallica and Kirk 🤦🏻‍♂️ They were (He was) the main reason I started playing guitar back in late 1994. Kirk Hammett, Jeff Hanneman, Dino Cazarez, Satch, Steve Vai, Dimebag, etc. Good video 👍🏻🤘🏻

    Hum... being lead guitar in a Metallica Tribute Bande in Brazil, for me the hardest KH solos are on "...And Justice For All" and "Black Album" records. Take a listen to "The Shortest Straw" (siiiick whammy bar work), "Dyers Eve" and "Don't Thread on Me" solos and tell me what you think. Nice work on "Creeping Death", by the way :)
