Metallica - Master of Puppets - 440Hz Retuned

Changed pitch from original (~435 Hz) for fellow guitar/bass players to be able to play along in tune.

I’ve heard this song for years and only just found out the original is out of tune trying to play it today. Thanks for this

[SonOfANurse]

Maybe you don't notice a thing just listening to this but when you playing the guitar along you do. It feels out of tune

When I first heard this sound in 10 grade, it changed my music life! Awesome don’t!

It's amazing what 5hz does. I can't explain it properly, but this sounds a little....not more energetic, but less...gloomy? I can't put my finger on it. But it's amazing the difference a slight tuning adjustment makes to the feel of the song.

Thank you for doing this!!! was so frustrating trying to tune to each album! I just jammed along and it sounded perfect!

[mikenebeker]

Quite possibly the baddest ass song ever made. Metallica rules.

[dysidious]

THANK YOU! I would always think my tuning was slightly flat or sharp

[jimscouten]

Thanks, been trying to play this song without re tuning my guitar! Still have to run it through my board but you saved me alot of time!!

[ocaldini]

you are right, there is difference. 5hz is almost imperceptible.

[fbi]

its just like singin and hitting a bit flat note you dont notice it

[coreygreaves]

I didn't notice a difference in the sound. Intill the words and the solo. Anyways nice vid

[jabedoben]

The band is technically not "out of tune" or "sharp or flat". Sometimes songs are slowed down or sped up a bit in post-production to better represent the tempo the band wants on the album. This has happened with a few of their songs over the years. Jump in the Fire, For Whom the Bell Tolls, to list two. They both sound out of tune but have simply been changed late in production to slow/speed up the songs.

Could you maybe share with us a video on how you did this? Literally I've been playing along to metallica albums for 26 years and this is was the most fun I've had in a long time nothing like those chords ringing perfectly in tune. Please do more of these ! Literally everything recorded to analog tape originally seems to be off tuning wise.

[manuelgarciamiranda]

I love this. Thank you! I hate playing songs from the first 4 albums and hear the "out of tune". Can you do the same with others Metallica songs?

[calciferblack]

I never knew the original wasn't tuned to 440Hz. o.o

[SamPlaysBass]

It was driving me fucking nuts thinking my bass had fucked up intonation. So I searched and found this.

[ifotd]

really appreciate the upload, thank you!

[TheDrCork]

This sounds AMAZINGLY the same 🙂

But maybe I’m just a little deaf.

[froloffanton]

Metallica's music is so heavily palm muted (makes the notes go slightly sharp if you're not careful), that I would not be suprised if they tried to tune flat intentionally to counter this.

[probablylucky]

Lmao try listening to this and the original at the same time
