man the orion solos are fairly easy. i've got them down, now i just need to memorize them.

[QUOTE=blue3]What's an easy Metallica solo to play on guitar?[/QUOTE]
it really depends what sort of level you're at guitar-playing wise, but the easiest solos are probably Bleeding Me, Ain't My Bitch (if you can use a slide), Better Than You...etc. stuff from the load/reload days or kill 'em all. they're mostly simple pentatonic stuff except on kill 'em all its played at about 3 billion bpm

3 billion bpm ayyeeee... thats pretty fast :P

[QUOTE=FlyingPaul_83]Yeah, my friend knows the first 2 solos in fade to black and one, and he thinks he's the greatest guitarist on the planet. :angry:[/QUOTE]
ahhh the first 2 solos to those songs are really really easy, i can nail them both. tell him to do the last solo's from those songs :naughty: bet he cant

[QUOTE=mr black]ahhh the first 2 solos to those songs are really really easy, i can nail them both. tell him to do the last solo's from those songs :naughty: bet he cant[/QUOTE]

I thought there was only two solos in FTB?

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]I thought there was only two solos in FTB?[/QUOTE]
there's 3.

[QUOTE=metalcritter666]dyer's eve is phucking awesome song - I didn't go but I know Lars can still double-bass like that no problem

ANY GUITARISTS WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO GET A CLASSIC 'TALLICA SOUND - i may just have the solution!!! hold on...


OK - have a Boss ME-50 and preferably a Line 6 spider set to clean (bass 8, mid 3, treble 9, chan vol 10, drive 4.5 for all tones, if you don't have a spider it will probably work with other amps but you may have to tweak around with the settings...for the distorted parts you might be able to get away with a Boss-MT2 or a DS1.)

ok - here's Kirk's unforgiven 1 clean part (G:-2-4-5-5-5-5-4-0)
On the me-50: tone modify, acoustic (or try the other ones)
a dash of stereo chorus
50% hall reverb
delay set to about 500ms
a bit of compression sustain will not go amiss for the pre-solo riff (don't knock the level up too much or it'll go overdriven)
On the guitar: tone and vol 10, bridge hummer

here's Jaymz' acoustic parts for the black album
as above but use a single coil pickup and maybe a bit more chorus to make it sound smoother

Kirk's lead tone for Live Sh[U]*[/U]t solos:
Tone modify: Enhance, Hollow, Tight or S>H, they all work fine
OD/DS: Metal (flick dial to MT2 and hit variation) Drive 4.5, Bottom 8, Tone 6, Level 4
Compressor: Sustain 6, Level 4.5
NS: 1
There is some delay but I'm not sure of the settings...try experimenting on that front
And have your pedal mode to wah in case you need it.

Load/reload tones:
As above but tweak the od/ds settings a bit and have it set to loud

These work for me.

KEEP THE MASTER LEVEL AT 5 OR IT MAY NOT SOUND AS GOOD

I'll try and update soon - try these and tell me if they work for you :thumb:

MoP/...AJFA sound
try turning your distortion to muff, and messing around with the controls.[/QUOTE]
for cliffs bass tone (think anaesthesia) heres a tip. if you have a boss me-50 turn the mod controls to 'harmonist' push the rate/key to anything really that one doesnt matter, and put the other two dials to max. this will give you a -1 octave sound instead of having to use the pedal, you can use that for wah instead now. turn your od/dist to 'muff' at with the drive about 6.5 and the bottom and tone to 9. you might wanna put some reverb or whatever for ambience.
for JASONS bass tone for his solos (think seattle, live sh!t), keep the same mod settings but put your od/dist to 'loud', and use the resonance effect for that cool sound. happy playing :thumb:

jaymz's guitar tone from kill 'em all set it to muff through a MARSHALL 100w amp. i dunno what kind he used so check encycmet or metallicaworld.
setting the delay to 100 - 500 (time 4) sounds cool too.

and SCOOPED MIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=Heidi]It's an easy solo (well compared to some other metallica ones), [B]if[/B] you know how to play it right. Most tabs for seek and destroy are just crap though, would you like me to tab it for you the way I play it?[/QUOTE]
yes, please tab it and send it to [email]gothikid13@hotmail.com[/email]

[QUOTE=mr black]ahhh the first 2 solos to those songs are really really easy, i can nail them both. tell him to do the last solo's from those songs :naughty: bet he cant[/QUOTE]


Of course he can't, he tried to learn it and stopped when he lerned the tappping part. He says he can't move his fingers fast enough to do the rest of the solo.

Heidi is the coolest user on this site, unless anyone else has good tabs to a metallica song that sound right

[QUOTE=gothikid13]Heidi is the coolest user on this site, unless anyone else has good tabs to a metallica song that sound right[/QUOTE]
Have you tried looking at the Guitar pro tabs or Power tabs for the song?

if u do have any metallica tabs that sound perfect mail them to me at [email]gothikid13@hotmail.com[/email] and i'll email u back and tell u how they sound

anyone in here think that creeping death is one of the most underrated metallica songs?

it's not underated at all.

[QUOTE=gothikid13]anyone in here think that creeping death is one of the most underrated metallica songs?[/QUOTE]
good song, but most people tend to think that.

[QUOTE=gothikid13]anyone in here think that creeping death is one of the most underrated metallica songs?[/QUOTE]
Underrated? Really? Everyone (I think) likes Creeping Death.

NP:For Whom The Bell Tolls

im saying cuz of the fact that not very many ppl talk about it as one of their greats, like seek and destroy, or one, or enter sandman

and is there anyone in here who can tell me how to get the closest sounding tone to the kill 'em all era?

i have a crate GTX30 and a BC Rich NJ Warlock, what is the best way to make that sound?

no idea, i have no clue how to get any of their tones

[QUOTE=gothikid13]im saying cuz of the fact that not very many ppl talk about it as one of their greats, like seek and destroy, or one, or enter sandman[/QUOTE]
surely nobody considers [I]Enter sandman[/I] one of the greats?

do they? I personally can't stand it

Hey gothikid13, use the EDIT button ok?

Edit: I can't stand Enter Sandman either.

[QUOTE=kylelibertine]surely nobody considers [I]Enter sandman[/I] one of the greats?

It's a metallica classic,but not to great,the unforgiven, my friend of misery ,escape and no leaf clover are the most underated.

The Unforgiven is [I]over[/I]rated.

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]It's a metallica classic,but not to great,the unforgiven, my friend of misery ,escape and no leaf clover are the most underated.[/QUOTE]
I love no leaf clover. I used to love unforgiven but im quite bored with it, i actually prefer the second one at the moment. And i think my friend of misery is a bit so-so

[QUOTE=metal guitar]The Unforgiven is [I]over[/I]rated.[/QUOTE]
tr00

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]It's a metallica classic,but not to great,the unforgiven, my friend of misery ,escape and no leaf clover are the most underated.[/QUOTE]
i agree with escape....THAT IS BEST FREAKING METALLICA SONG EVER!! and nobody talks about it....and its neve rbeen played at concerts...

but the unforgiven is overrated beyond all reason
