In this Killing in the Name guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play all of the guitar riffs in this massive hard rock hit by Rage Against the Machine.
"Killing in the Name" has become Rage Against the Machine's signature track due in most part to it's infectious guitar riffs.
These riffs are played in Dropped "D" tuning, so be sure to tune your guitar starting the from the 6th string (DADGBE).
There are many cool riffs in the this one and I will take you through them all in the same order that they appear in the song. The only section I will skip (for now) is the guitar solo. As I am sure you already know, Tom Morello's guitar solo uses a whammy pedal the entire time. The pedal is being used to change the pitch of the lead guitar lines by either an octave and 2 octaves. Since I don't have a whammy pedal available at the moment, it would be impossible to make the solo sound like the record.
The solo itself is really fun to play so I would be willing to teach a non-whammy version of it (basically everything he is actually playing on the guitar as heard without the pedal effect) if enough of you guys want to learn it.
The riffs have a very cool and in your face funky quality, with liberal use of fret-hand muting, octaves, bends, tremolo picking and hammer-ons. A couple of them can be a little bit tricky so simply isolated those riffs and practice them by repeating them over and over again in rhythm. Don't worry about playing the entire song until you can confident play each riff on it's own.
Then it will simply be a process of putting it all together into one cohesive unit. Enjoy!
Carl...

little tip: for the main riff at around 4:25, when you play the 3rd and 4th fret on the high D, instead of going down to the 5th fret on the A you can play the D again but open to get the same note and make it just a little easier to play
I thought i was the only one who realize that 😂
nah than you cant do a vibrator on the string idiot
@@jamesbaciu7668 first of all you're not supposed to do a bend on that note anyways. second of all, vibrator? who's the real idiot lmao
Interestingly I find that way harder, as when you play the 5th fret note you can effectively mute all the strings so you can be pretty sloppy with the right hand, but when you play the open string you have to be a fair bit more careful to not let the other string ring out.
But that's just my hands. Always good to have options.
@@waveymattdavey interesting perspective, makes sense too if your play style is a little looser. options are definitely nice lol
Not a huge Rage fan, but learning this song taught me how to play with attitude. Thanks Carl 👨🏻🌾
This is the only song of theirs i know. I fucking hate the lyrics but goddamn the guitar is beautiful
Very true, this is definitely a song that you have to play with feel and attitude or it won't have any effect at all
Brandon, I found the same thing after learning calm like a bomb. I practiced it hard for a day, woke up and everything I'd been playing previously was WAY easier. Learning Rage tunes is like a master class in rhythm. It's simple, but you have to commit, and you gotta bring your A game. Tom Morello is About the heaviest guy on the planet. Thanks Tom for making my pulse race more and faster than any other music group.
@@BoggydanBuckney what's wrong with the lyrics?
@@averyplaysguitar I thought the same thing, kinda what makes the song so iconic and great. But ig anger towards something you believe in isn’t for them
"It makes you sound bigger than you really are." - Drop D tuning is like free viagra for the ego!
I play in a 90s Tribute Band and killing in the name i also in our repertoire. This song is sooo fun to play. We use 2 Tunings: Standard D# and Drop C#. It rocks the shit out of you :) Love this one!
Hahahahahahahahaha im weak
Hell yeah
😂
True
"It makes you sound bigger than you really are." Well isn't that the truth hahahaha.
Beckoning Oblivion that's why he said it
Dude I’m tiny and when I’m in Drop D playin Djent I feel 6’4” 💀😎🖤
Unless you have bbc
I think we need more Rage against the machine these days, their songs are just as relevant today as they were back in the 90s
If not even more 😅
yea idk bout that one, it was pretty fitting for the war in the east. but they will always be relevant
bob villain is a good modern take
4:25 here you guys go
YES
thank you
11:05 for the fill
U a legend for that one fam
If this doesn't make ppl want to play guitar, nothing will!
You are absolutely right man :D
Fuck you I wont do what you tell me
Max Hydro ?????? Ever heard of Metallica, this is too shit

Great job! I subscribed to your channel because in my humble opinion you're the best at teaching on youtube that I've found. I've been playing guitar for many years and I pick up what you're doing really quick. Thanks, brother!
I wish I had your easy to follow and play along with tutorials years ago when I first started learning guitar! Thanks Carl
Wonderful lesson. You just made my day :)
Please do the solo lesson also. Non-whammy version will be awesome as well. Could you also go through the settings on your processor that you use to get these sounds ?
Cheers !
Drop D tuning "allows you so sound bigger than you really are" LOL love that! You are Awesome Carl !
tom morello uses a tele for all his drop d songs, he said in his premier guitar rig rundown that he is always in the neck position
Carl
The best instructor on TH-cam
Thanks for another great lesson
finally a song I can play!
Douglas of i
You sure you can play it? Perfect tempo, no mistakes, well articulated, palm muting and death notes rhythm in check?
Esteban Aguayo that’s not what rage was about man it’s about the emotion in it, you don’t need to be PERFECT
@@soullessSiIence gfy
@@soullessSiIence way to shit on a person's self-esteem, asshole
One of my favorite lessons Carl. Thank you. This one is so much fun to play
Carl is the best, greetings from Poland Carl!
Drop D tuning... It allows you to sound bigger than you are... 😂 Lmao you get a like for that sir, made my fucking day 😂 so that's what I've been doing all these years 🤣 literally laughed out loud 😂😁 thanks dude, subscribed 🤘
Carl you're a real one for this. Great memories getting jacked up to this before football games, and super fun to play. Youda man as usual.
learning this for my band - killer tune-great job on tutorial
Ahhhh!!! I've been waiting for this one!!!! Thanks dude!
FINALLY MAN! SOME RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE! great video as always man! ive been watching you for nearly a year and you taught me everything! anyway, id like to leave a suggestion, king nothing by metallica. its probably the best song out of load and reload, and id love to learn it. but look man you're amazing so keep doing what you're doing!
that's the best way to request a song man you do it with respect for the man so you my man get my respect!
I'm 62 and now my neighbors have a new alarm clock...courtesy of my Jackson/Marshall Duo! ROCK ON PPL! Best teacher on the Tube!
Could you start to show a picture or something of your settings for your setup before you start the lesson? I can hear lots of fuzz, but I would just like to get a visual, please.
I'm so glad I found your tutorials! Could you please do one on Rage against the machine - Sleep now in a fire. I've been searching but I cant find anyone who is teaching that song!
4:24 I'm here for this
Green Grass and High Tides Forever lesson please!
Excellent Lesson and Playing as always Carl....a humble request: Can you share the effects & settings you're using since the reverb/echo you're getting is vital to the "sound" of this song. Thanks!
easy song that rocks with a message. heaven.
Dear Carl, many thanks for this inspirated lesson. Easy to follow - just great. Best greetings from switzerland.
Thank you Carl. Your economy of words let's the music do the talking, (in the words of Joe Perry). Your lessons are really well paced and easy to follow. Thank you. if I were to offer any constructive criticism, I'd say smile more. You're a baddass player and a fantastic teacher at what appears to be a very young age. Life's good. Thanks again.
Thank you for your lessons, you are one of my favorite instructors on youtube, please do some Slash Snakepit and Velvet Revolver
this helps me a lot, thanks a lot
Just listened to this, thought it sounded nice so decided to learn it in 2 mins, thank you 👌
I fuckiing love your videos man! Whenever I look for a tutorial you're always there! Thank you
Another awesome lesson. Not a particularly tough one to play but essential to know just for fun. Thanks.
Nice video. Thx that you explain the parts of this song
That was Awesome - Best teacher with cool camera angles 🤘🏻🖤
Dude I just found you. Thank you so much 🙏🏼
Master!!! I love your lessons.
best lessons out there! thanks!!
Wow I was just thinking about learning this riff about an hour ago and I see you posted it 😂
Killer riff, great lesson! Thanks!
Bro you are a great teacher. Subscribed!!!
Thanks Carl - very helpful as always!
Thank you you teach awesome
Very thorough
Thanks for this great tutorial 🔥🤘
Best lessons if seen in you tube. He breaks it down perfect so anyone can get it. He needs to use a Fender Telecaster to get Toms sound.
Great video thanks!
thx I've been looking for a video for this song
Your awesome bro I have learned a lot from you. Thanks
Always amazing Carl!
Oh god how we left-handers love TH-cam tutorials! It's like looking in a mirror! And this is a great video by the way, thanks so much
I've watched dozens of tutorials on this song just to brush up on it after learning a couple years back and I still dont know that solo... Carl would you please do a video on it when you have some spare time. No other teacher on here (marty or justin, mostly)that i watch will do the solo. I own the whammy pedal.
Red Actual its an octave pedal that Tom uses for that solo. It's pretty easy to pick out the beginning notes. follows the chords mostly. If you find the first note of each phrase as a starting point, he hits those notes first and then steps and releases the octave pedal. Try to hear the solo without those octave jumps and it's easier to pick out. Hope that makes sense and helps. Without that pedal it's tough to replicate. Good luck. Great song
Thank you buddy ! Nice lesson
Noiiiice, I've been waiting for this for a while. Thank ya kindly Carlos. If you do another one I vote Bombtrack.
awesome Lesson can you do the solo please and then do breed nirvana
You should post more solo's man! That'd be great
Who else had a Tom Morello masterclass ad before watching this?
I actually watched the entire class. Its really good. I highly recommend it.
@@daisy9179 nice facelift pfp!
iPhone 11 lol
mine was carlos santana's
Mine was for a ford puma 😂
Ok this is coincidental I was playing Know Your Enemy yesterday and thinking that you really should do some rage! And you'd already started... Cool vid.
Great lesson. How do you get that sustain...is it from the overdrive or a compression pedal?
Great Lesson, thanks
hey carl, how do you learn all your songs? by ear? or do you use tabs or sheet music? just wondering
+Sal Vitale I think he uses a combo of tabs and he watches videos of the people playing the song
Im sure you have thousands of comments to sort through, but would you be willing to cover "inside out" by eve 6, if you havent already? Much love and keep up the amazing work!
What would you need to get this sound would a standard amp and distortion pedal achieve this I'm a bit of a noob to this 🤘🎸🎵🎶🎼
You are the best Carl
still amazing teacher!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna learn this..thanks!
Loved that
Best teacher on utube
This song is too damn fun to play along with.
I just started smiling as soon as he started the riff
Can you make a video on why does love got to be so sad by derek and the dominos? I love your videos so much and you help me learn guitar and thats a song i'd love to learn!
Hello...ur video is truly helpful...Any tips on the effects settings ??? Thanks a lot and keep those vids coming !!!!
Great Stuff. Awesome
I'd be willing to learn the solo without effects. Thanks for the video!
please do some Cream or Zeppelin
+Nicolás Giacaman yes!!! Either White room or Achilles last stand would be great.
Nicolás Giacaman i
hi carl, can you please please teach us how to play Rage Against the Machine - Wake up
Thank you!!
why is cumberbatch playing guitar on youtube
I never thought about that, thank you. Now I won't look at him without thinking that. 😂
JAJAJAJA
Cos he's the best damn guest teacher on TH-cam
Benedict guitarteacherbatch
Best teacher ever
Awesome song
hello carl thanks for the tutorial it helps me to improve playing my guitar, even though i am not professional musician its just like a hobby for me. can i request tutorials from you? i hope you can create tutorial of "the ghost of tom joad by bruce springsteen and tom morello", the guitar solo in this song are very melodic and different style from tom. i will be great if you create video tutorial for this song. thanks in advance carl keep up the good work.
Great lesson Karl. I'll do what you tell me.......
Hey. Love your videos. I've learned so much from you. Metallica and more. I was hoping you could do bulls on parade. If so that would be awesome.
Tom recordered Rage's first 2 albums with a Tele standard on the neck pickup.
Makes me regret a getting a Floyd rose...
I just started smiling as soon as he started the riff
"It makes you sound bigger than you really are." Well isn't that the truth hahahaha.
Moonlight Shadow by Mike Oldfield possible ? Thanks you Carl :)
Nc dude you made my day
Awesome!
It's alot easier if you do palm muted with your picking hand and you can do it on any fret but it's also easier to just let go of the d string in the main riff rather than going to the fifth fret of the a string
Thanks
Youre so much better than that Marty guy, his lessons were just so wrong even by the naked ear.
BTW I learned the hard part in Sunshine of you Love because of your lesson. cheers mate!
Jessrey Mark Solijon wrong
Marty is exceptionally good at some guitar but I have to agree with you. For some reason he plays every cover song completely wrong. But if you wanna learn some good blues then he’s your giy
Guy*
Dude dont be throwing shade marty is the fucking man
lmao, his presence too, marty seems so like... smug? there's just something about him that makes him hard to watch, he's talented but i feel like he's wasting em doing what he's doing? he just isn't the best teacher, i get that he gets it but i am trying to learn
Hi Carl thanks for the great lessons would it be possible to do one on Pendulum,self vs self because there’s nothing online.
Have you done paint it black yet? If u didn't u have to plz
Hi everyone, I am just about to learn the song but I get confused when getting into the beats per minute. I always use a metronome but in this case it looks like it is not always the same beats per minute. The main riff it is about 88bpm but I get confused in the intro. How could I practice the song using an stable beat? Should I change the metronome depending on the part of the song I play? thanks a lot. All the best. Kevin
4:10 - I did what you told me and grabbed the G-String. She then slapped me and called the police.
Not going to do what you told me ...not going to do what you told me!! lol
Thanks!
