for anyone w might be struggling with the first riff what i like to do is use my first and ring finger and then lift my first finger for the second part. ofcourse that might be hard for some people but i would recommend trying it to see if its any easier for you
Fade to Black - The song is great as a teaching tool because of how accessible it is to beginners as well as how complicated certain parts of it are. It has a great single-note intro, intermediate intro solo and some fantastic chord embellishments. The heavier power chord parts are great to learn basic metal techniques. And finally the end solo is great at showing how a lot of classic blues licks can be used even in metal. A lot of the repeating lines in the solo can be traced back to old blues licks. When i was learning it, I found it also helped with getting my speed alternate picking up to mark.The song is also great for showing students scales other than the Minor Pentatonic. Just my 2 cents but i hope you teach this one!
I found that a different finger placement works quite well for riff 1 - open E, ring finger A string on fret 7, first finger D string fret 5, and then use the middle and first finger for the next 2 notes on the E string. There's a bit of moving around but thought I would share for any others struggling with the other 2 placements :)
One suggestion. At the start of each video, please tell your audience what effects, if any, you're using and maybe even the settings. The type amp may be helpful also. Not a huge deal on most songs but some (like this one that starts with a kind of "creepy" clean guitar that morphs into a huge distortion) it would be helpful. Maybe you can even wangle some pedal endorsements out of the deal! Thanks!
Also - brilliant lesson - I've Entered Sandman about a fucktillion times and never realised that the open-g at the end of the fill is a nifty way to relax back into the riffage without having to rush (and occasionally fumble) thefollowing F-sharp power chord. I was finishing the fill way up at E on the G-string. No idea why. Thanks for putting me right. xxx
Huge Metallica-fan here! Thanks for the lesson. I already knew the song, but a lesson on the solo would be killer! It also cleared a few things up for me that I've never managed to figure out myself, so that was great! A lesson on Hero of the Day would be awesome!!! :)
Woke up one day & wanted to learn how to play an electric guitar. Bought a cheap Jackson & after 4 months of practice I can play this song in its entirety. This motivates me to get actual lessons.
I always used the pinky on 7 and index on 5th fret then used the right and middle for the 6-5 on low E string. May be easier for some people and still get the more authentic sound
The final note of the riff1 sequence ( the A note ) can be played Hendrix style, with your thumb. Allows for the easiest fingering and avoids having to use the g string.
So glad you have a broken down version. I just started the grade 2 riff lesson and couldn’t stop playing. I need this in my repertoire. Cannot believe I’m even learning stuff like this. I could only fudge a D chord a year ago…. Amazing playing!
OH MY GOD, I´VE BEEN STRUGGLING TO GET THE RYTHM PART OF THE CLEAN INTRO RIGHT FOR AGES NOW, AND FINALLY I FIND A SOURCE OF INFORMATION THAT ACTUALLY EXPLAINS IT ME, GOD IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS Thank you Justin
Why is it that many guitar teachers on you tube are not willing to share the amp settings? I feel that's a very important part of the lesson. Would you share your amp setting for this song?
sarg141 assuming that you are still interested after 5 months... On my Roland micro cube, I've got my gain =way up=, and my tone middling - that gritty, muddy sound when you alternate palm muting really sells the song, so whatever you have, as rhythm guitar, try and setup to get all the crunch out of your bass and middle strings. A dash of delay. My volume on my guitar is about 80%, same mid tone setup, and my selector is on the rear pickup. Really I find this song is sold by your palm muting technique - what you let ring, what you mute, and how deeply you mute it. On that, I can cheat so hard on my Fender with the floating bridge - I can palm mute, vibrato a whole chord, both, or neither, (and you're doing all 4 at some point in Enter Sandman) sound like the shit and still be a bad guitarist :D

It's a pointless exercise. The sound will vary enormously even if you're using exactly the same gear. There are so many variables e.g. playing style, room ambience, etc. You're far better using your ears and the controls on your amp to get the sound you want.
I'm quite the beginner, can only play A, D and E choords, but MAN this is one of my favourite songs of all time and I'll learn it till my fingers bleed.
Hey Justin! i love you guitar lessons! they are extremely good and in depth. it would be awesome if you could do a lesson on Champaign Supernova by the oasis. there are not many lessons on this song will be extremely good if you do the lesson! cheers!
Spot on about knowing what riffs to play and when... I've played this live, (bass, drums, guitar and vocal) and coz I was totally freaked when the bass players amp died, I stupidly soldiered on and consequently played it all in the wrong order. The singer gave up, the drummer didn't notice and the crowd went batshit crazy for it - coz well, y'know - SANDMAN! I must have kept playing it (randomly) for about 20mins while the bass was fixed. Best gig ever! xxx
Hey Justin! I'm a huge fan! I've learned basically all my favorite songs from your videos but now I have a special request! My sister is getting married next summer and she has asked me to pick a song to play at her wedding. The song I want to learn is "If I Should Fall Behind" by Bruce Springsteen! If you would make a video teaching how to play it I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks to you videos ive become a fairly decent guitar player. However the whole 1 and 2 and three and is not for me. I'm able to keep timing just be my ear. Should I make a better effort to learn?
Another excellent lesson Justin - you are a fab teacher and have brought my playing on no end. Your lesson on Romeo and Juliet is amazing and I can now play this well. A handshake in thought.
Hi Fritz ... hope you're still picking up that new guitar. Can I recommend you learn step-by-step from Justin New Beginner Course. www.justinguitar.com/categories/beginner-guitar-lessons-grade-1 Everything you need is there. No random, irrelevant videos being pushed at you. Just simple, straightforward, effective teaching from the very basics on. Cheers :) | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]
i dont know if this is cheap, but for the intro just use the ring finger for 7th fret 5th string, and the index finger on 4th string 5th fret and i also use the index finger for the 5th fret 6th string and switch back.
Great tutorial Justin! Just as I was starting to look around for a beginner Metallica song. This will keep me busy for some time : D. Big fan here, so I'll trust your judgment in which other Metallica song you will do next. Loving your channel and site.
Thank u Justin teacher, 14 years ago I was on ur website learning needle and the damage done, mr jones and sitting by the dock of the bay, and switching open chords, now picking back up the guitar again and so ecstatic to find so much more material. Thank u so much for them and I hold great respect for u! You are staying cute as ever ahahahaha! Teacher crush!
YOUR TONE IS KILLER HOLY CRAP, very well played!!
Agreed

Haha!
Bam bambambambam!!!
more metal/hard rock justin!!!
The Unforgiven🙏
hell yes.
Carl has done it.
aert88 Agreed 🙏
Justin thanks for everything,some Rory Gallagher would be fantastic! Acoustic or electric,he's a master of both!
Rory is still my all time fav
Woke up one day & wanted to learn how to play an electric guitar. Bought a cheap Jackson & after 4 months of practice I can play this song in its entirety. This motivates me to get actual lessons.
even the solo?
Great timing Justin! Yesterday I decided to learn Enter Sandman and now you made this great tutorial! Thank you :)
What a riff!!!!!

there is no better teacher than you.. learned a lot from you..
So glad you have a broken down version. I just started the grade 2 riff lesson and couldn’t stop playing. I need this in my repertoire. Cannot believe I’m even learning stuff like this. I could only fudge a D chord a year ago…. Amazing playing!
Justin you are the go-to man for any song I need to learn. You own this song man!
Really great job with singing out the precise rhythms while playing the riffs. Makes life so much easier and I encourage it in everyone. Be well!
OH MY GOD, I´VE BEEN STRUGGLING TO GET THE RYTHM PART OF THE CLEAN INTRO RIGHT FOR AGES NOW, AND FINALLY I FIND A SOURCE OF INFORMATION THAT ACTUALLY EXPLAINS IT ME, GOD IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THIS
Thank you Justin
Thank you for teaching this and so many other great stuff
Glad to see someone is learning using this vid with me at the same time :)
Thank you so much, Justin, for such a wonderful and helpful tutorial! Now i can play one of my favorite songs!
Why is everyone asking for Justin to teach something else. Be grateful for THIS lesson! Quit bugging him! Have you donated to his site?
Can you do the solo for this if possible?
Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme that which I desire oooooh!
Yeah-heyawh!
Different song but a good one none the less
It's my suggestion for a lesson. I know it's a different song. Jeez!
+Welsh Walsh haha lol sorry 😁
He could also do nananananananananananana… I mean, The Memory Remains.
Literally started to learn this yesterday. Justin saves the day again xD
Can't wait to learn this one Justin! Greetings from Canada!
i had a spine-shiver listerining this man, well playes!!
Solid 🤘🏼
Why is it that many guitar teachers on you tube are not willing to share the amp settings? I feel that's a very important part of the lesson. Would you share your amp setting for this song?
many amps are different and you can just adjust it by listening to the song

the beginning...clean, after that....dirty, hope this helps!

grate , I don't play guitar but I enjoy watching your lessons
I swear you must be so fun at parties (no sarcasm) being able to play all these songs :D
best by far, thanks!!!!!

Should I make a better effort to learn?
You are the man Justin!!
Same here
Wow this one sounds really sick Justin!! Love your tutorials and lessons, thanks a lot!!
Thank you!
You are the only one I've seen who actually played this song right the way James Hetfield plays it the fingering.
Yes, this is true! Justin shows the correct way of fingering.
@@9wegorz thats what she said
@@AWSKAR 👍👍👍😂😂😂
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you!
Another brilliant tutorial, thank you Justin!
Another excellent lesson Justin - you are a fab teacher and have brought my playing on no end. Your lesson on Romeo and Juliet is amazing and I can now play this well. A handshake in thought.
This is definitely what I will be learning after I finish your Californication video :) Thanks Justin! You're the best!
Thank you very much for this lesson.
THIS IS SO MUCH FUN BUT HOW WILL I REMEMBER IT TOMORROW
thx for that tutorial, man, especially the easier grasp for the intro. i bought a guitar three days ago and the left hand is making me alot of trouble

great lesson.thanks! Justin.good morning
Great lesson. It's so much easier to get a grip on it when you add the counting. Thank you.
i dont know if this is cheap, but for the intro just use the ring finger for 7th fret 5th string, and the index finger on 4th string 5th fret and i also use the index finger for the 5th fret 6th string and switch back.
Am I evil please 🎸🤟 great vid cheers
Very good lesson! Thanks Justin ;)
