The biggest thing about Mick and Jim's playing doesn't necessarily come down to the complexity of the riffs, but more on the smaller things like how they slide and bend, even how they mute certain things. These things make them pretty unique guitarists in their setting.

loving this "learning " series. cheers Ola!

This was the first metal metal song I learned, had never really done pinch harmonics before but I had a lot of fun learning it, sat down for like 5 hours straight just lost the sense of time and learned it and got a lot of new respect for metal and from there got confidence to try and learn everything from pantera, slipknot, damageplan, spineshank, trivium and a bunch of others. Great times

why is it the most satisfying thing seeing someone learn something, trying different ways and then getting it. Very inspirational man.

Jesus how beautiful is that guitar man! Sounds an absolute beast too.
