Kirk Hammett only knows the pentatonic scale…

[Matthew_Klepadlo]

Try the E scale.
It contains the notes E, E, E, and E.
James famously used this scale on a beloved song of theirs: One.

[squideogames]

i mean, even though he only knows one scale, it's still impressive how he utilizes that scale with his solos

[MurderLegendre]

Someone never heard The Thing That Should Not Be or Wherever I May Roam. Solos like that Kirk uses harmonic minor! Plus, I don't give a damn if he exclusively uses pentatonics, he sounds awesome! Oh, Mustaine and most Metal guitarist predominantly use pentatonics. 😁😆😉🤪

[sharkdive]

And Kirk is the guitar player in the best metal band ever. Where are you?

[VIRALBEATS]

Yeah, keep the horns, dude! Love your work.

[Yamiwonk]

Kirk totally forgot about that super unique, hardly ever used and completely different from the pentatonic box, the BLUES pentatonic muhahaha

[danzemacabre]

Kirk got way too much love early on and now he gets way too much hate

[xyzyzx]

You can make every mode of major scale using different combinations of a pentatonic relative to a specific root note!

That’s more than enough to be be getting on with for a long time

[gandalf]

He does know the E major scale, but not in the other keys.

[riverdragonmarineservice]

Dudes been phoning it in 😆 since aftee the bassless album

[steviedwyer]

Yet he is a world famous musician and you seek out gratification from a couple thousand strangers on YouTube and look like you eat ear wax.

[WarriorsOfTheUniverse_BATTLES]

He literally does play other scales look it up idiots 😂

[spaghetti-lolr]

[hironmoychowdhury]
