    Thanks so much for requesting the awesome cover of Kid Rock song by Metallica!
    It's heavy main riff and tempo is just so in the zone. The only thing I didn’t tab out is the background guitar effect that’s a little hidden in the original mix. They don’t do this live and I had to make an educated guess as to what’s going on there. But the guitars that are played live - it’s there in the tab.
    In measure 20, I used only downstrokes on the muted strings. But you can also alternate pick that and it sounds fine. Hetfield does this live but it's questionable if he did on the studio take.
    In measure 31, I tabbed out 2 downstrokes on the F5 (3rd fret A and D strings) because that's what I seen Hetfield do live. But you can really hear that in the mix so I can see why in most tabs, you only see a single stroke of that.
    What should be the next Metallica song? Old or New?

    Finally, someone that plays the Chorus correctly. Official TABS are wrong and most internet TABS are incorrect. When you watch James play it LIVE, this is the way he plays it. 🤘😀🤘

      @@xdstudiosofficial I guess a good idea would be to play the riff slightly different than it is in the recording
      Keep it subtle though
      This is what I think might help you

      @@xdstudiosofficialI know this is 11 months old but maybe this is a problem you’re still facing. I know some people record their own backing tracks to avoid it, maybe you can find independently recorded ones. Also like the other guy said, playing it different in subtle ways can help too. I’ve also noticed it helps if there’s no vocals or your own.
      But having as little of the original recordings as possible is your best bet for the auto detection to not pick it up

    Not to nitpick, but I just love the staccato-ish (second- and third-played) D5s each time thru THE RIFF... ending the ringing strings with the remaining L.H. fingers. A lot (nearly all?) of folks seem to just classically palm mute. Can come down to personal taste tho.
