I've only been playing guitar for couple of seconds and I'm ready to try the solo

[TARider]

All I wanna do is learn that opening riff and just play it for hours, just yelling METAL MILITIA to myself lol

[pgmk]

I love the beginning of this song. One of Mustaine’s most brutal fucking riffs. Heavy as shit. 🤘🏻

[ImSurDiese]

got nothing to do in lockdown so gonna try learning this, great cover my dude killed that solo

[cedenmo]

My favorite Metallica song and you rocked it!

[pretorinrex]

I love that song!!! And you played it very close to the original version. Congratulations!!!
What's the settings that you used in your pedals to the rhythm guitar and to the lead guitar???
I use the pedal multiple effects boss me-25.

Awesome cover, you are the first person I have ever seen to play the 00:45 part perfect, it's so great! I've been trying to do it but it's so hard! All the other cover do it with bad timing and it's sounds terrible, but you did it perfect, very good job!

[fanfan]

Really cool! Good job! This is the first metal song I heard! Memories.... :)

[oursweetboys]

I'd say this song is harder than disposable heroes.

[matldn]

Great cover version!! Your tone is superb.

[bustercampfiresongs]

Second riff in A.
The three muted notes of which one is D#....what are the others?

[mthrashmetalholocaustm]

Dude awesome cover
do you have a tab for the solo ?
i searched everywhere and even the tab book is wrong
i've been playing for 5 months and i managed to play the solo, the problem is that in the final part of the solo i'm doubting that there's a mistake cuz it doesn't sound like on the album, same for that one string run

[markpommett]

Dude. That was sick. How much did you practice to build that right hand? That's impressive!

[jimneijenhuis]

I am trying to do this song but i am not so good at that fast picking so i do it a little slower.

[desertranger]

omg that solo, nice keep going that nice

[zvonkobalov]

Its same power chords like am i evil, enter sandman etc.

[LiveShits]

at 2:52 during the solo, u play wrong rhythm guitar ... are you deaf . the basic fast note is B and you play a C there . my fucking god :D

[wenonaharrish]

hey that was good... It may be awesome to record this with changing between electric/accousitc guitar - did you think about it?  as well with different instruments, you can try bandhub for it ( on-line collaboration with different musicians )

[williamdougie]

James plays this differently than Kirk

[pthibault]

You're playing it incorrectly in a lot of parts
