I love that you included the complete Bass transcription as well.

Dude! This is amazing! The best breakdown of this song I have ever seen.

[dyerseve]

A little trivia. That main riff was written by Jason Newstead on the bass. One of the few songwriting credits he ever got in metallica

Best guitar teacher on YouTube. Also, the best explanation of Blackened.

[neilbentley]

Had no idea those guitar parts were reversed! Sounds so good forwards. An album I’ve heard thousands of times and I’ll never be able to listen to the opening the same way again! Looking fwd to One & Justice 🙏

[Lightweight-udwt]

This is by far the BEST tutorial of that song i‘ve ever seen 👌

[xDirtyDeedx]

My goodness. Its a masterpiece with just the very first intro before anything else happens

[dissonant_a]

Tim you’re hands down the best teacher on YouTube. If anyone is on the fence, I highly recommend grabbing the GP file too, having the ability to slow down each section and play along has had me nailing songs in no time. The attention to detail is second to none.

[Kevin-nrlj]

Thanks so much for doing Blackened.
One my absolute favourites

[siji]

Finally, the tutorial I have been waiting for!
Thank you, Tim, for another amazing video.
Your detailed explanations and tips are much appreciated, even a novice player like myself can follow and learn.
This will keep me busy for a while, but I'm already excited that Master of Puppets is coming soon.
Any plans to do ONE or Gojira's Stranded?

[sebastiankarlsen]

This channel is so awesome. Great to see someone teach music so well, while being such a badass on the guitar!

[lividwolfsix]

Finally, someone who does the intro the correct way! Thanks!

[ericmarlan]

Fantastic job, love the tone. Please tell us more about your gear and setup to achieve this sound.

[wm-nuyf]

Fantastic lesson. My all time favorite album and this is tied for my favorite song on that album. I don't think I've ever heard the intro played forwards like that. I almost think it sounds better that way.

[calebgregory]

Yes, you are the best. My fav Metallica song, ima start learning today 🤘🔥🤘

[ventoSC]

Thanks so much Tim, really a very clear explanation of how this song!

[jrock]

Great video. I learn with a metronome so having the counting is a huge help. You are a great teacher!! Im 50 years old and this video has really helped to speed up my right hand.

[gustavoadolfocastanedaguti]

Many thanks for this song.... The best teacher in youtube🙌
