...Thats not fast ;)

Just tremolo picking.



How about wearing spandex and playing Escape :lol:

It was not just klars objecting to napster, it was the hole **** band for ****s sake, they nominated lars to be spokesperson and front the campaign.
I ahve being paying guitar for a year and how the hell do you play that Four Horseman intro, the bit where it is palm muting switching between 5 and 7 on the a stering and hiting open E? It never sounds right when I play it.

d---------------------
a-5-7-5-7-5-7-5-7----
e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----

the bit above is what I cant nail, it never sounds right, when I play it I can only hear the e string, I can never hear the notes on the A string properly.

that damage inc solo isn't fast heh? Is that why its the 6 fastest shred solo ever?

^ I refuse to believe Damage Inc is 6th fastest. I can name 6 Petrucci solos alone that are faster.

I saw a list of the top 10.They are:
1.Steve Vai-The Riddle(20.8 notes per second)
2.George Lynch-Wicked Sensation(19.8 nps)
[B][U]3.Kirk Hammet-Damage INC(19nps)[/U][/B]
4.Paul Gilbert-Addicted to that Rush(18.8nps)
5.Eddie Van Halen-You Really Got Me(18.7nps)
6.Joe Satriani-The Mystical Potato Head Groove(17.6nps)
7.Nuno Bettencourt-He-man Woman Hater(17nps)
8.Yngwie Malmsteen-Far Beyond the Sun(16.8nps)
9.Marty Friedman-Ashes in your Mouth(15nps)
10.Steve Morse-Tumeni Notes(14nps)

so there you go.

So where is Marcus Paus with 44 ? and Paul Gilbert with 40 ? ^, or am i being stupid and missing something here ?

That's what the article said,I'm just writing it down.I haven't even heard half these songs!If you want to check it,it's in Total Guitar mag,issue 118.

How about this :

Who the hell cares what the fastest solo is?

:)

a)all the people who posted before you and b)it's just a point of intrest

I don't see what's so interesting about it.
Music is not a competition.

thats probably cause your a guitar n00b who can only play power chords and you think tom delonge is the greatest guitarist ever.

[QUOTE]Music is not a competition.[/QUOTE]

You're right,though I never said it was.It's just like comparing how fast an athlete can run,or how slow a slug goes.It just comes from listening to a solo on a song and thinking "****,that's fast."We're just taking it a step further and wondering just how fast the solo is,and in comparison to other guitar solos.If you want to,then call it 'appreciating an artist for their talent'.The rest of us will call it 'comparing the speed at which some guitarists can shred'.

Yeah, you're absolutely right, good point. :rolleyes:

Alright, you have fun comparing solos. I'll keep out of it. :p

Tom DeLonge has got some great (punk) solos if you don't mind,RareMana.Not that fast,but the one on Degenerate and the one on Reebok Commercial are great.

*slaps self in face for confessing liking of Tom DeLonge*

I had an argument with two of my friends concerning the speed of the master of puppets solo. They were talking like it was the fastest solo on eath. Here's what one of them said:

"The solo is ****in hard its like 4 notes per second!"

I was laughing my head off!

But is it true that its really fast or does it just sound fast.

^^While that solo IS fast, its still not as fast as the solos in Ride the Lightning.

and they aren't as fast as the solo from damage inc.
And that is not as fast as some other solos.

Case closed :smash:

One question for anyone who can play anything. How much time of guitar playing did it take for you guys to play the damage inc solo. I'm curious...

Which, by all means, is The most incredible solo you've ever heard Hammet play and on which album is it. I want to know what people think, if this has been done before then give me a link.

I think the first Fade to Black solo is the most incredible one for me. It's certainly not hard or anything, but it gives you that nice tingly feeling.

<something about metallica>

I dislike the new metallica cd. the sound quality seems crappy (to me at least) and it was too repative. And it just wasnt *metallica*.

I am wearing a master of puppets shirt right now. Go me.

</something about metallica>

^Yeah, definitely that one and the last one in Welcome Home (Sanitarium) are both very memorable.

The best Metallica solo is 'The God That Failed'.

I like the 'ride the lightning' solo.
Also the 'blackened' solo and 'one' solo.

I like all of Metallica's solos. they all hit home. They all make me feel tingly, deep down inside, where im soft, like a woman.

also, I like a lot of wah wah in solos.

well if deres any drummers out there hoo fink METALLICA ROCK (an for anyone hoos anyone finks metallica rocks) Dyers eve is one of da best songs in da world i love how fast lars can play the double beater i got mine like awile ago and i cant play nearly as fast. for i like to play drums here are sum songs:One,Sanitarium,Blackened,I Dissapear,sweet amber,creeping death,da call of ktulu(that rules!!),master of puppets,Ride da lightenin,The Four Horsemen (dat rules too),mi freind in misery(one of ma favourites and for whom da bell tolls, hell they all rule. they r jus a few of me favss hehheh theres so many so jus go on a downloader like limewire or kazza an type in metallica THEY F***IN RULE!!!!! c yaz all

[QUOTE=chimairaforlife]^ oh ok i get it. I think metallica is trying to say, if "any ones gonna play nu metal, we'll be the ones and we'll perfect it." Basicaly a big f u to nu metal bands today..[/QUOTE]

Only n00bs / sk8r kids read Total Guitar. Its too commercial. I doubt that 5 of the readers have heard of TD Clark (Or even Mr Cooley for that matter (remember my guitar teacher has had a lesson from Cooley))...

[QUOTE]Only n00bs / sk8r kids read Total Guitar.Its too commercial[/QUOTE]

^Only closed-minded fools post statements like that.It is commercial because it is a magazine.I read TG cos it has a f**kload of tabs and backing tracks of songs I actually want to learn,like Hendrix or Metallica etc. The only other option on the market (really) is Guitarist,which has one 'classic track' every month,like 'Texas Flood' by SRV.I don't know about you,maybe your just a superhuman eletist whose guitar talent needs no help, but a lot of us play for enjoyment and hobby, and a mag like TG gives the oppurtunity to learn more songs and tehniques to further our playing.
