[QUOTE=metal_milita]Being honest, what metallica songs can you guys play (james/kirks/lars/bass), versus how long you've been playing guitar? I've listed mine quite a few times now, but I want to know about other people just to relatively see what my skill level would be.[/QUOTE]

i think you should include what songs we've tried

[U]tried[/U] --- [U]can play[/U]
fade to black --- yes
master of puppets --- yes
nothing else matters --- yes
holier than thou --- yes
saniterium --- most of it, not the solos
wolf and man --- yes
one --- yes
sandman --- yes
AJFA --- intro
Ktulu --- everything but solos
Orion --- most
ride the lightning --- yes
seek and destroy --- just intro, haven't tried rest
unforgiven --- everything, haven't tried solo

and i've been playin for three years
and i haven't tried anything else

[QUOTE=metal_milita]I think I just found out why I, along with countless other people, like Metallica so much. Please forgive my essay style writing, my thoughts turned out to be longer than I thought.



But what are your guy’s thoughts on this? I just thought of this in half an hour, this could actually turn into something worth knowing.

*bibliography style* props to wikepedia for giving me some good information.
**sorry for triple edits![/QUOTE]

(i just deleted the essay out of quote so it wouldn't take much room)

i agree. i find it really funny. people love metallica or hate them. but only people that seem to hate them are either the rap/hip hop lovers OR they have never heard any metallica songs

woah, quite talented. But you should learn Sanitarium solos. They're quite easy and fun. After Fade To Black, they are my favorite solos.

well the only thing that's keeping me from sanitarium is the length. just like RTL

sanitarium doesn't look all that hard tho, but i haven't taken any time on it. i kno the part where he plays the 12th fret for awhile, but none else...

maybe ill go learn it after im stuck studying for exams :upset:

[QUOTE=metal_milita]any lessons??[/QUOTE]

many

thats how you learn guitar

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]many

I've never recieved a single lesson from an instructor. I just do what my good friend 'Internet' tells me to do and i'm doing fine.

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]many

yea im kinda sick of these people who say "whoa i know how to play one and i've only been playing for three months without lessons!!!"

anyone can, it's called tab.

the real questions are
1) can you play it right?
2) can you write something that takes knowledge of scales, keys, bends, hammer ons/pull offs, taps, etc.???
3) and are you just bullsh[COLOR=White]it[/COLOR]ing about three months without lessons?

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?

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=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.

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

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.

[QUOTE=JACKROXYOU]many

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:
