its just going from the 9 to the 5

[QUOTE=DisposableHeroes]Can anyone here actually play the RTL solo? The finger stretch..beats me man[/QUOTE]

its really not that bad. on the 5 use your index on 9 use pinky. if you have small hands then either too bad or keep stretchin

that and the part right after i can play.

haha that's exactly what I did when I started...

[QUOTE=InColdBlood]haha that's exactly what I did when I started...[/QUOTE]

Same here, but I'm working on Fade to Black, The Unforgiven, and One. I'll get them down if it's the last thing I do.

i'm working on seek and destroy

I'm working on Nothing Else Matters and Sanitarium on guitar and One on drums

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]I'm working on Nothing Else Matters and Sanitarium on guitar and One on drums[/QUOTE]

Nothing Else Matters isn't too hard so I'm sure you'll get it down soon. Same deal with Sanitarium. I learned them both in a week. No lie. :wave:

I can't play solos. My fingers are too stubby for it :upset:

yea welcome home was a really easy song

nothing else matters solo is so satisfing

Yup, I think knowing them both was satisfying for me as well. Nothing like adding a new song to your repertoire.

hey how do you get those cool avatars? I try on that profile page and it doesn't let me pick what one i want

just for the heck of it, i am just starting to learn the call of ktulu(just to stay on topic)

Don't feel bad, he'll cope.

As for the Avatar, find an Avatar, right-click, then click properties. Copy the URL and paste it in the blank provided.

Call of Ktulu, good choice.

nice, the intro is really easy. i haven't touched the solos

[QUOTE=gocaps99]nice, the intro is really easy. i haven't touched the solos[/QUOTE]

The solo is easy ****.

[quote=DisposableHeroes]Can anyone here actually play the RTL solo? The finger stretch..beats me man[/quote]

Yeah, I can play it. I haven't done it in a long time, so I probably forgot though... :upset:

[QUOTE=gocaps99]nice, the intro is really easy. i haven't touched the solos[/QUOTE]


yea most solos i dont touch

except
one
nothing else matters
master of puppets

I don't think the Master of Puppets solo is that hard to play. Aside from that bit where Kirk fell off the **** Fretboard...it's a solo that sounds impressive but isn't too difficult to play.

thats why i know it :lol:

I usually try the solo, learn it, do it until I get it, then not play it for a long time and forget it. :upset:

you and me both man

[quote=JACKROXYOU]you and me both man[/quote]

Yeah, at least it makes me better to learn them in the first place.

i just downlaoded part 1 of Live ****: Binge and Purge and theres no sound to it...

Buy it then, cheapskate.

[QUOTE=ThrashMaster27]Buy it then, cheapskate.[/QUOTE]

alas, tis my dearest parents that think metallica is sent from satan to bring hell on earth through booze and metal (at least the 80's anyways).

funny part is that sounds pretty true.

But i am not ALLOWED to buy it. Im just wondering if thats the way the file is, or if i just downlaoded a corrupt one?

Ha, that sucks for you man. Nah, I wouldn't know, never downloaded it myself.

I've bought a Cort X-6 and a Kustom Dual 35 DFX amp a couple of days ago. It's my first guitar and I really want to learn to play guitar, and especially Metallica.

Now I've tried to get that crunchy Metallica sound out of this amp (full distortion, high bass, very low mid and medium/high High) but I don't seem to be able to get anything more than a heavy rock feeling out of the amp.

Now my question is...is this a known factor with this amp ? And would I be able to get that crunchy Metallica sound (MoP/ AJFA era) with a Boss MT2 metalzone pedal ?

Thanks in advance

Oh yeah, I'm new here :)

First off, welcome to the forums.
Secondly, I know this question is kinda Metallica related but for more guitar orientated questions try visiting the guitar forum.

But the MT2 should help to get a crunchy/scooped sound, but try going to a guitar shop and trying it out to see if it has the sound you want.

uhmm
 

Well, I started to find any Kirk Hammett related topics and then i discovered this musicianforums and also I discovered Metallica Official thread. I must admit, I really LOVE Metallica from Kill em' All to St. Anger, tough St.Anger is kinda phatetic lol...
well anyway, I started reading this thread and when i finally got onto th page 30 I started to wonder how long is this thread anyway? And I was kinda stunned when i realized Its over 400 pages :rolleyes:
Here are my statements:

Current band members in order of priority ( IMO)
Kirk
Jaimz
Lars
Rob
I have to admit, I'm a huge fan of Kirk Hammett and I like absolutely everything about him.
I saw someone saying that Rob looks like a Donkey Kong when playing and i kinda agree with that lol :lol:

Kk, best songs (not in order of priority):
Master Of Puppets
The Unforgiven II (lead me to Metallica)
One
Sanitarium
Whiskey In the Jar
Fade to Black
Seek and Destroy
For Whom the Bell tolls
Ride the Lighting
Creeping Death
Battery
Enter Sandman.


Best Album...hmm...I think they are all good but...hmm..the black Album...and Ride the Lightning and Master Of Puppets are equal...but again, it's just IMO..

Kirk Hammet rules!
Long live Metallica. :thumb:

I don't doubt you - its just you're probably a lot better than me :thumb:
I'm really quite poor at this guitar thing...

I recommend learning the unforgiven I solo. It's very easy, I learned the whole song in about 2 hours.

I'll give that a go - It looks a lot easier than some of the stuff I've tried

unforgiven 1 dont look to hard, i think ill give it go maybe i can get my first solo down

[QUOTE=i_love_my_epiphone]unforgiven 1 dont look to hard, i think ill give it go maybe i can get my first solo down[/QUOTE]

yea it doesn't look all that bad. it's one of my favorite solos

the only hard thing about it looks like going from low on the fretboard to pretty high in like a hundreth of a second and i can't quite do that yet...

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]yea most solos i dont touch

one

master of puppets[/QUOTE]

learn fade to black. it's really not that hard. i cant do that hammers and bends right at the beginning that he uses the wah pedal on live, but the rest is really simple

^hehe, I can already do all that bends and hammers at the begining. The only part that bugs me in that solo is to finish it (it fades out). I guess I'll copy it from Cunning Stunts version :)

[QUOTE=btoto]^hehe, I can already do all that bends and hammers at the begining. The only part that bugs me in that solo is to finish it (it fades out). I guess I'll copy it from Cunning Stunts version :)[/QUOTE]

i haven't tried the last part after he starts going back down the fretboard. the bends and hammers pis[COLOR=White]s[/COLOR] me off. my fingers aren't quite fast enough. i can do it with a wah easily, just not distorted and with no effects

[QUOTE=Mister_Che]Same here, but I'm working on Fade to Black, The Unforgiven, and One. I'll get them down if it's the last thing I do.[/QUOTE]

I know all those solos, plus all the MOP and Kill em All solos, but after that, I just got lazy :lol:
