How to play 'Ride The Lightning' by Metallica Guitar Solo Lesson w/tabs pt1
Музыка
TUNING: (Standard) E A D G B E
Hi guys! Welcome to lesson 125 (part 1) of Learn That Solo! Today we look at how to play the solo from 'Ride The Lightning' by Metallica.
Alright punks I did it... You harassed and harassed away! Now it's done! I can't believe I never took the time to learn this one. It's actually one of Kirk's best. There's a seriously ridiculous amount of win on Ride the Lightning!
Please keep in mind that this is only part 1. I'll get cracking on part 2 ASAP!
Section 1 Tips:
This section starts with some pretty fast triplet taps. I just practiced getting the pulse correct on my right hand first. You can just tap 8 quavers per bar then try add the left hand in. It's really important that the pulse of the taps is right so that you stay in time. Might be worth brushing up on some simpler tapping licks and exercises. 'One' by Metallica is good and of course VAn Halen's 'Eruption' is another great one to look at if you want to build up your tapping chops.
Section 3 & 4 Tips:
These 2 sections are predominantly the F# minor box shape on the 14th and 17th fret area. It's basically fast, 2 finger legato in semi quavers (or sixteenth notes) over that pentatonic box shape. The positions and shapes are fine however it does jump from a straight semi quaver feel to a quaver triplet feel at times.
Take care guys! Happy shredding!

I salute you, Big Dick Boy
How many people comeback to these multiple times just to hear him play it. I learned so much from you chris thanks for the help.
This a a strong compliment Chris. I have been on youtube doing lessons from every person I could find. You are by far the fastest and cleanest player of anyone on youtube I have ran across. Even the hardest Avenged Sevenfold songs you seem to be almost bored playing them. You have incredible skills. I would wager you are better than a lot of the guitarists that write these songs. MAD SKILLS bro!!!! Any band would be lucky to have you. If I had your skills, I would be interviewing for some big bands if and when the opportunity arose. Keep doing what your doing. You lessons are amazing and have helped me tremendously.

he slows down the recordings to learn these solos by ear. note for note. as well as that he has been a guitar player for over 20 years so he's had enough time to improve his general technique and speed

Great videos! You are hands down the best teacher I've come across. I've never been able to just grasp onto the solos the first time, but I watched your Orion videos and got it the first try! Thanks Chris!
Once more, thank you very much Chris for this pleasant lesson !
Usually, when I can't play a solo from tabs, I can't learn it watching youtube either, I don't know what's happening but you made it work my man

You and I are working on exactly the same stuff! In my opinion, these are Kirk's best solos.
thanks bro, easy way to learn this masterpiece
I really like the way you teach it. You tell what you're doing, stick to main points, and provide tabs as you go along. All of that makes me appreciate your videos more. Definitely earned the sub! 👍
Chris Zoupa Has just become a legend! Thanks for the lesson bro.
Good explanation Chris!! I saved a lot of time with your videos for play this solo! Thanks
You are doing great job.Thaks a lot man.
Chris long live , ur the best ❤
goddammit, i love this guy! that was spot on!
Great job! I love this solo! I can't play it myself as a beginner, so can't comment on it's difficulty (nearly everything looks hard), but it's really not about that for me. This is a great example of why I love Hammett's writing. So much mood and melody; it's so memorable that is sticks in your head note for note, and that to me is what really makes a great solo. It compliments the song perfectly.

I'd just like to say Chris...You are a legend!

I think his version is actually off in some spots. It's a pretty good rendition and it fits the backing track, but there are a few intricacies in the official version that make it easy harder than this version. I'll stick with this though haha
Thanks for the lesson, Chris! This helped me so much. But after the tapping part inthe beginning, instead of sliding from 8 to 10 on the B string, Kirk taps the 14th fret of the G string.

Great job once again Chris. Can you do Prowler next
Ive been using songster and they have a bend on that 16th fret B string at about 10 mins in. Sounds really cool with it but i like these tabs too
It's my first try with fast solo and I must say you're really great at teaching this :) thx as everyone
Brilliant!! Thanks from Perth. Haha you look quire anmoyed in the beggining
thanks
Thanks Chris, I've been playing this one for a while but I learned something on that F# pentatonic run that you do that'll make it easier for me to play. By the way what is a Dugong?
did my last words this is next :-) wake up dead learned cuz of you frank !
you rock bro' !
Can you do hit the lights solo by Metallica ?????
Nice
Excellent playing as usual Chris. You should do the solo from 'Time' by Wintersun. It's a crazy solo but i know you can do it :)
Man, you are amazing! What model Schecter is that?
I have spent all my day went through all three parts of this truly beautiful solo I would say this is one of the best Kirk's solos so melodic and heavy metalish! Chris THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this videos! However one question I also trust to the lessons of Carl brown and I saw lots of differences in the way he teaches this solo any comments on that?So who is right and who is wrong so to speak?
Man you do all of this without a pick?? Insane.
Nice.
You're amazing! Could you please do a tutorial on soothsayer by Buckethead?
nice!
Eruption Next PLEASE!
