James said it was a fun song to write and that it was easy. They’re just having fun man and it sounds energetic. It’s great.

I also thought I was never gonna learn any songs by ear, because of how insane it was to me to learn something by listening to it. Turns out it's easier than I thought if you've been playing for a bit of time. Just try it, and stick to it ! that's really the hardest part, to stick to it. Also helps that this song is pretty easy to understand and play. I have a lot more trouble figuring out stuff like Yngwie because of his tone and style, notes blend in together it's much harder
The fact that you got the same Hetfield tone is amazing!
The new song is pretty cool. It has some Motörhead, Diamond head and kill 'em all vibes for sure.
Metallica shows us that you don't need drop Z tuning to deliver heavy & aggressive metal riffs.

I’ll keep practicing and maybe one day I’ll do it as good as you! Thanks for the vids! Getcha Pull!
A lot of people pick on kirk and I think he's got some arthritis problems or something that limit his playing. I noticed since 2014 his live playing hasn't been quite the same , and HWTSD solos speak for themselves. Still one of my favorite players and his work in the 80's and 90's holds up to this day.

Hey Ola, there's a pedal you can use to control the KZread fonctions so you can always keep your hands on your guitar to learn songs like that. The brand is Vidami, they even make a wireless model. You should test it out. I have the USB wired(the cheap one) and it works great.
