[QUOTE=danielm18]first post. i love metallica. i can play a little bit of metallica but guitar isnt the top priority in my life ive only been playing for about six months. which forum should i ask for help on what equipment i should upgrade to?[/QUOTE]

a mesa dual rectifier with a tube screamer vintage its what hammet usses.learn to plar lepper mesia forgive my spelling

[B]i hate metallica[/B]!!!!i hate metal!!!! metal sucks a big one!!!! and i think thats about it....oh wait metals dead!!!! :thumb:

[QUOTE=Paul93560]is there any albums you dont like[/QUOTE]

i dont particularly like the st anger album, and i dont like most of the S&M stuff, but other than that i think the rest of their stuff is two thumbs up. its the only stuff i can listen to and not worry about having to change the next song that comes on

[QUOTE=Paul93560]f_uck you get out of this thread ******* probably a priest or a christian[/QUOTE]
Just ignore them, they're attention craving pop fans. Just pretend their post never appeard because they only enjoy it when we yell at them or defend our cause (whatever it may be).

off topic (sort of), is the person in my avatar Jason Newsted?? It looks like him because its too **** small to really tell.

[QUOTE=metal_milita]is that intended towards me??

1) ya, I don't use tabs. I use GTP files so not only am I recieving the right fingerings, but I can hear how the tab sounds like and I can compare it to the song.
2) Yes I can. I'm in IB music for drumming. My 2nd instrument is guitar. They don't give me lessons on it, but they teach me information on theory and techniques so they can test the hell out of me at the end of the year. The only reason I can play "hard" songs like One is because I research up on the techniques involved (cyberfret.ca, freeguitarlessons.com i believe)
3) 3 months?? More like 9 for me.[/QUOTE]

well somewhat intended towards you

# 3 wasn't, but a lot of people say they're that good

and back to you (i think it was you) awhile ago telling me to learn sanitarium solos. while "studying" for exams i learned the intro solo and the very last solo. they're pretty easy...

[QUOTE=poisonboy67][B]i hate metallica[/B]!!!!i hate metal!!!! metal sucks a big one!!!! and i think thats about it....oh wait metals dead!!!! :thumb:[/QUOTE]

metal's dead eh? what do you call dream theater? and belive me, if you wanna survive in these forums, you do not wanna go into the official band threads and say the band AND style of music suck

dude, cyberfret.com is amazing for people that need extra help for guitar stuff

back to metallica

In reply 2 #11216

thank metal_militia too, it's great

yes metallica rules. on the website it shows the riff in the intro solo to fade to black. i already knew how to play it, but it helps. it's also got crazy train

sadly, my name is metal_milita. militia was taken so I had to improvise. And putting a 69, 99 or 666 after metal_militia to register it didn't appeal to me.

thats how you learn guitar[/QUOTE]
man i should get lessons. ive been playing a couple months longer than you and i cant touch a couple of those songs you listed on the other page, except small pieces of them.

i think metallica [U]were [/U] great but when cliff died they went downhill and then when they brought out load, reload and st anger they went even further downhill-i agree-they cannot get any worse :lol:

You don't need lessons to learn these songs KILO. It takes time. Spend 4 hours of your day JUST on one of these songs, and I can guarantee you (if done properly) you will learn %80 of the song. Solo's may take a while, but learn all the rythm parts first. Once you have that out of the way, you'll have time to concentrate on the solos. I found that the spider-chord pattern for MOP was difficult, but after I spent 2 hours on it (with the help of a metronome) I learned to alternate pick it.

Don't jinx it, James might wear old navy and start a tour with Simple Plan. Imagine hearing them sing "I'm addicted." :angry:

i have a teacher and i have been playing guitar and taking lessons for about 4 months and i think i am alright at guitar, i can play most of "one " including solos but there is two guitars so its kinda hard to say you can play it(i just play james's part and then kirk's part ) but i was womdering if thre are any metallica songs that sound pretty good to play in front of people? i was thinking seek and destroy) or maybe MoP.

question can apply to anytone who plays guitar.............................

this approach gives you a very restricted view of music in general, using a teacher will give you a much broader appreciation of musical styles/techniques. And that riff is meant to be down picked.

sanitarium? :confused:

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]sanitarium? :confused:[/QUOTE]

what?

i thought you meant that the main riff for sanitarium had to be downpickeded thats why i asked

[QUOTE=led_zep_luvr]i thought you meant that the main riff for sanitarium had to be downpickeded thats why i asked[/QUOTE]

The "spider pattern riff" as he put it in MOP needs to be downpicked.

[QUOTE=munky_magik]The "spider pattern riff" as he put it in MOP needs to be downpicked.[/QUOTE]


whats that? you mean the part that goes like

2 3
01 01 etc..................................

i messed up

I can play:

KEA - All rhythm parts, solos - Mechanix (whole), Jump In The Fire (intro, second), No Remorse (second), Phantom Lord (whole), Metal Militia (too lazy to learn properly)

RTL - Fade To Black (whole song), FWTBT (whole song), rest of the album - no attempts

MOP - Battery (rhythm), MOP (whole song), Sanitarium (whole song except 3rd solo), rest - no attempts

AJFA - One (whole except middle harmony part and 3rd solo).

BLACK - Nothing Else Matters (whole song), Unforgiven (whole song), Sad But True and WIMR only rhythm parts.

Also: Mama Said (whole), Am I Evil (whole), Turn The Page (whole), Blitzkrieg (solo not attempted...........yet)
----------------------------

It was challenging for me to learn 'tallica solos when I just picked up guitar. But it's been almost 2 years that I play and it's got boring to learn other people's stuff. Now I enjoy writing my own solos or just improvising to 'tallica stuff.

I still want to learn these solos very good:

1. Metal Militia
2. One (3rd)
3. No Remorse (1st)
4. So What
5. Unforgiven II

That one. Most of the song is downpicked as well.

wow i didnt know metallica had so many music videos

they got like 20 or so

Yes, the MOP spider riff is downpicked. If you alternate pick it, it will sound horrible.....well, at least it will sound wrong.

I learned to downpick that riff slowly in a few minutes but managed to play it fast after about a month.

Guys, you have to understand, it's not just about doing hard. At first I also thought that way. But then I'd just play something very good and the very next day I'd screw it up. Then I realised that it was about muscles. It takes time to develop muscles on your hands. You can learn something good but next you'll already feel tired playing that thing. Muscles and stamina are important for your picking hand. And it takes time for them to develop. The same with fretting hand - you need to develop "muscle memory" of your fingers. :thumb:

amen.
They're old stuff with Burton kicked major a-ss. Their latest albums just isn't their sound anymore. They sound like they are trying too hard.
Does anyone know if they still do older stuff on tour?

Listen to his basslines in Call of Ktulu. The man had some awesome effects. A Big Muff I think.
