Bro, that is a guitar Theyre using different guitars, normal guitars have 6 strings and theyre pretty regular but there are settings that make it sound different, also the guitarist/singer is playing with his fingertips and that makes a sharp sound. And theyre using a 12 string guitar too and that is classically sharp and clean sounding

As a 19-year-old Gen Z fan, I respectfully disagree. Rock is still one of the most loved genres out there. It's just simply not the genre on the charts. But we all still love the classics from the 1950s to the 2000s. There's some good stuff coming out today too, though it's far from as legendary as these older songs were. Had they come out today, they most definitely would have been big hits.

@@brezzainvernale Rock and Metal have strong cult followings. Compared to most genres, Rock fans are the most musically-centric fans, meaning they care more for the instrumentation, melodies, and so g structures. Not to say others don't, but usually, Rap is more focused on the lyrics, vocal flow, and the beat (usually in that order) and Pop is more focused on solo singers, rather than the session musicians used. Electronic (EDM), though often the most instrumentally driven genre with few lyrics at all, is sometimes more an emotional manipulation of adrenaline, especially Techno and Dubstep. Rock and Metal are often the genres with the most virtuosity in the instrumentals and are typically more progressive than other genres, not in terms of it being Prog, but rather that the songs are more likely to progress and move to different stages apart from simply V1 C V2 C B C C... structures and 4/4 time. Rock has had the most experimentation in music and has expanded its influence into many if not all other major genres of music. As long as there are still fans of analog instruments, exercised musicianship, and musical history, Rock and Metal will never die.

This! I was actually talking to my husband about Metallica last night. We heard Enter Sandman, and I told him, "This song is good" and he agreed, and then I said "But it is the worst song on the album". He is not a Metallica fan, doesn't hate them, he just doesn't know their music very well and is not all that into music period (we are very opposite).

One is an epic song and a deep story. One of their best as well. Welcome to the Metallica rabbit hole.

Having the privilege to actually meet these guys in person and sit with them after a concert.. No words can describe how professional they are, but down to earth as well. Oh and James warms his voice up singing ACDC etc

When I first watched this (awesome) guy, I though completely different of him than the innocent, appreciative, open-minded dude we see here. I was surprised to see such a young man, so open to old time, wonderful music such as Metallica ect. It makes me very happy that he knows what he is talking about, even when he does not know how t put it into words. Its awesome to see people like him so loving and in awe towards these types of music.

Metalica and their radio rock genre is the gateway to metal.

That is an electric guitar you're hearing. They're running them through different pedals and getting different effects plus they're hitting bell tones and other harmonics. Check out "i know you're here" by Steve Vai. Watch the G3 concert version. He makes all kinds of sounds with that guitar.

When they played this song with a symphony orchestra, the added depth was beautiful. Appeals to the classical music lovers, too.

you were blown away with one which was a amazon song and this song is one the best songs ever put together one of the greatest rock songs ever .I seen mettalica live in concert amazing what a show there still playing if you get a chance go see them true legends and icons hall famers there in my top 3 of all time best bands ever with led zeppelin and Van Halen. cant wait for you to enjoy this song cant wait to see your reaction to this here we go.

The instrument in the background is a symphonic backing track, Written by the composer Michael Kamen. This is a BRILLIANT time to suggest something I've struggled to find online. Because they did a full concert with Mr. Kamen and The San Fransisco Symphony Orchestra. I suggest that you react to the opening of that 1999 concert, The Ecstacy of Gold + The Call of Ktulu. The Ecstacy of Gold is trending with the danish orchestra doing The Good, The Bad and The Ugly anyway, So combine them. Lead, don't follow!

The white guitar is a Gretch "hollow body" guitar it has a much "sharper" sound then regular guitar. The wood in the body neck fretboard ALL make a difference in sound plus if 6 or 12 string. Pickups also make HUGE impact on sound in fact your guitar is a Mashup as it has a "humbucker" and a "single coil" pickup which both have distinct sounds. I can't recall if your guitar has P-90 pickup but that could also be a very distinct sounding pickup as well oh the black and silver guitar is a type of "flying V" guitar believe that one is a Jackson model flying V

So the drummer sets the pace and the beat for the song. And you’re right they are masters at what they do. I am very happy to see you’re enjoying now the stuff I grew up with. True masters of musicians

It's sincerity that comes through the music. That's what makes it hard for other bands to play, without the genuine feeling... It falls flat. Great reaction, I loved it!

Sad song that'll hit you hard "Jeremy by Pearl Jam"

One of the things i like the most about Nothing Else Matters, is the ending "James Hetfield" guitar solo !!!

They're laying lots of guitars on top of each other. There's at least 4 if not maybe even up to 10! The white guitar hes using is a gretch "semi-hollow" so its still an electric, but has that big body. A lot of jazz players used semi hollows. You were possibly hearing the 12 string as the "higher" portions since it doubles the strings and makes a more jangly sound and on the higher strings it has them an octave higher in each pair. Essentially its the same layout as a regular guitar (with 6 strings) but it has another string next to each one that is an octave higher

This young guy does a Great Job, like his comments!

Since you seem to really like the songs people suggest, I’ve always wondered if there’s ever been a song where you just couldn’t stand. Like you got halfway through the song and threw off your headphones and said “This is crap. I just can’t listen to it anymore?”

happy to see some young people like you open to discover past old songs (more than me) and even more if they don't listen this kind of music. You make me hope for the youth...

You explained that very well. All the right ingredients 😉 love the music thank you for sharing 💕🎶

Played this at my wedding, along with their version and the original of "Whiskey in the Jar". My son heard Metallica in utero, and every time I played it he would start kicking. Today he's almost 18 and still a huge fan. I'm always so happy to see you experiencing this band that has meant so much to my little family. ❤❤

This was the song my wedding party danced to. We all grew up loving Metallica songs.

JoJo, huge fan, watched several of your reviews and love to see you grow as a young person listening and learning new music. I’ve heard you say many times that a song “speeds up” it doesn’t, songs keep the same tempo, usually. What you are hearing is dynamics. Dynamics are not in todays pop/rap music they turn the EQ and levels on everything all the way up. In metal/rock and specifically songs like Nothing Else Matters, they use a technique called dynamics and the guitar also uses expression pedals and can sound differently. What you were hearing was a guitar, but James and Kirk are playing the same solo at the same time, probably in a different octave on some notes. That’s where a guitar player will play say a C on a lower string and another guitar plays a C on a higher string at the same time, to create that dissonance you are hearing. Dynamics is when the music is quiet and peaceful, sometimes played intentionally softer and then a crescendo to a very loud or harsh sound. Although the crescendo can be subtle. This all means emotion to the listener, you feel what they are trying to portray to you. It’s nice to see you feel this emotion in your reactions, it’s something I have felt my whole life. Keep up the good work, it’s refreshing.

To answer your question Jojo, the guitar that you hear in the background is a standard electric guitar being played by Kirk Hammett, oftentimes referred to as "Rhythm Guitar"

Love your energy dude. Well done.

The extra guitar your hearing is called a double neck gibson es1275 it has 12 strings on one neck that are tuned an octave from each other to make it sound angelic and beautiful like your hearing. Many bands used them. From led zeppelin to guns n roses.

Metallica is known more for much heavier music. This is an amazing song which shows their versatility, they compose incredible music. If you want to hear some more heavy stuff, try Fight Fire with Fire , or Battery to give you an idea of how hard and fast their songs can be.

@4:10, ish....EXACTLY!! Lars Ulrich- the drummer, and James Hetfeild-the lead singer, lived together for some time in Cali...and if one would come up with something, he'd wake the other n if they thought together it was good, they'd call the other's to cone over rt away...n see what they thought collectively...n bang it OUT!!❤

You are a keen observer. I love your reactions. I love the analogy of the drummer as wave that the guitarist ride on. You said this having never heard the song before. I love this song and your reaction just made me love it even more.

You’re reactions are refreshing, thank you. New sub from Australia ❤️

They have ballads too and they are sooooooooooo good!!!

It's a Chorus Pedal with an overdrive pedal, that he uses to make his guitar sound like that.

It took almost 10 years before I could listen to this without crying. It was the 1st Metallica song I heard after my grandfather died, and the 1st one I heard 4 months later when my other grandfather died.

It's a semi-hollow guitar. They are electric guitars that have the two bouts hollowed out with, usually, F-holes to allow air flow and a solid body through the center. They do make a different sound than regular electric or acoustic guitars.

I just love how you react to these awesome tunes! You're priceless! Glad I found your channel! ❤☮
