@@user-di7re6fw1g I think it was moreso for the way he had his guitar hanging so low on his body. James stands up straight when recording vocals in the studio.

James and Kirk simply mix together perfectly. You just can't separate them. James could have left since late 80s and made successful solo career. Or, he and Lars could have replaced Kirk with one, among thousands, deity-level lead guitarists out there. Why not? One can only guess. The fact is James and Kirk have been rocking for more than 3 decades, and still doing it together.

For anybody wondering, I've played guitar for over 25 years. This is the quintessential video to learn their style. He does a very good job.

You forgot the 2 most important Hetfield techniques.. His powerchord, which he grabs with his pinky instead of his Ring finger. And his picking technique. He used 3 fingers to hold his pick, that's why he has that power behind his fast palmmutes.

Many guitarists use their pinkies to fret power chords. I used to use my ring finger until I noticed James and Kirk, as well as Jeff Hanneman of Slayer, using their pinkies. I think it allows the fretting hand to relax a little bit more, at least for me.

@marc ramirez Actually that isn't entirely true. He wrote the song with his former band.... but when he brought it into Metallica, the song was reworked by him and James... so James added parts, Dave modified parts... etc.. the finished product was a collaboration. But yea that main riff was Dave. Also, the lyrics were completely rewritten by James. The original song was about sex... just like The Mechanix. Dave was obsessed with sex, I think. James really had no interest at all in writing about sex. It was a total cliche in rock and roll at the time.

Thanks. Pretty sure Art taught it the right way in a separate Master video showing all the things people typically screw up

Dude, this is an incredible crash course!! Each little section you show is something any guitarist can focus on and spend weeks/months practicing until they move onto the next. I’m just getting back into guitar after about 10 years of not playing and I can’t wait to spend the next 10 practicing everything you so masterfully laid out. You’re an incredible teacher. These techniques can be so overwhelming especially when you see people just going full speed with it, but the way you approach each technique at the top and show us how to progress is such an incredible gift. Thank you for the inspiration and the confidence 🙏🙏

It's weird to watch this video and the one about Megadeth techniques.. It feels like you're doing a tutorial on how I play, because back in the day I learned to play by playing Metallica and Megadeth. Now, 20 years later, I haven't actively listened to those bands for years, so it's weird to realize how nearly everything I play is still based around this stuff :)

Hell I was born in 89' which was about the end of their heyday but still I grew up listening to all of Metallica's old stuff around 97' thankfully because that same year I moved into the house n neighborhood I'm still at now...but before me and my family moved to San actual neighborhood I lived right off a main road and had no kids around me that was my age....but in 97' I met this boy who was like 6yrs older than me who lived just 2 houses down from me and he had an older brother which was older too and that's who I would hear Pantera, Metallica shit like that but the funny thing I remember from then was for the longest time i had no idea what the band members looked like I would just always hear their music being played but yea 97' was around their "Load & Reload days" lol I remember us listening to those albums too and I remember thinking Mann have they changed!! Because I was thinking it sounded more bluesy and just rock n roll but at the that time I did enjoy "Until it Sleeps & King Nothing" but yea I got into Metallica at a younger age but it was already after their best albums had passed from their Black Album and back to Kill Em' All but to me those albums were fresh and new lol

I marvel at what those guys accomplished. What they’ve done is literally the coolest thing anyone has done in my lifetime. Just my opinion. Tremendous tremendous song writing.

Really like your style on all your vids Mike. Your instruction, skills and humble demeanor are awesome. Great job man!

You have seriously saved my life with that picking technique on #1. My buddy and I are wanting to learn Hardwired, but I do the lead so I am trying to work on the solo. Now that I have seen how you pick, I will work on that!

These videos are gold.. I’ve been watching these for months, and today I had an epiphany while watching this for probably the 20th time.I’ve been using these little techniques out of these videos every single day, and I’ve been improving so much especially over this past year. You could read tabs, or watch tabs for songs you like (as a self taught guitarist) but you really break down and explain each and every little lick, and give us an opportunity to look and listen to it in a completely different way.. I’m 100% self taught(never had a single lesson anyway), and I’ve learned more from watching you than have from anyone in my whole life. Thank you brother.

Dude you are soo knowledgeable and you nail the crap out of everything! Very inspiring! I’m really glad I found your channel thank you very much!

super insightful video! really appreciate the details over the techniques behind the music, rather than the showing note for note the tunes... impressive know-how!

The-Art-of-Guitar You did an amazing job with this video. I wish you had of been around when I was a teenager, you just dispelled all the hardest licks I could never understand back then. I think you have a knack for teaching;)

Even as a more advanced guitarist I guess, I love watching your videos about different techniques. Been watching this channel for years now. Cheers Mike

These technique videos are a genius idea. I've learned so much from them. This is how learning guitar should have been presented from the beginning. I'll never stop watching your videos. Thank you so much for presenting guitar learning in a fun, practical and interesting way.

Awesome help dude! Keep it up!

really strong techniques well done sur!

he explains everything so good in a way where a beginner can almost understand, i love it

I enjoyed this episode very much and will for sure come back to it when I get better at lead, because right now I don't have any experience with lead. I know a lot of intervals, but I don't know any scales yet except maybe a pattern or two of the major scale. Thank you for video.

Awesome channel!sick tones!

Honestly this video is really good for beginner guitarist that's why I like this I have all these people out here telling you to learn the techniques for songs and work up to them or something along those lines they never really say what techniques you need to use I know that if i practice alot and work my way up to these techniques it will help me learn metallica songs it gives me guidelines which is great for all those people that like to play guitar and want to learn metallica and can't play any of there songs all the way through

Excellent insights - Thanks

Old video, doubt you ever see this. You have supplied me with some of the best tips ever. Everytime I watch a video of yours I know something and more importantly implement that into a lifes lesson on my crappy playing. Thanks man, you really are a great teacher. BTW, I am almost old enough to be your dad LOL

Thanx so much for osting this!!!!! Its helped me tremendously!

Very cool stuff definately going to practice these techniques.

i'm so glad this channel exist much love

I'm glad this video exists! Metallica get a lot of shit for their playing, and agreed, they're not in their prime anymore. But this video probably proves how technically tight Metallica is (at least for its own time and genre) than a lot of other "Metal" bands.
