Is it really possible to capture that “…And Justice For All” guitar sound?

Excuse my floppy playing during some parts I didn’t intent to make a proper cover of any song or anything I was just jamming parts that came to my mind as I go. It was all Axe Fx 3 straight to IPhone. Thanks for watching !

the distortion is close but the cleans are GOD DAMN SPOT ON

[EmirsGarage]

The chug is absolutely on point. Low gain really is the key

[davidcloud]

You’re the only person I’ve seen come within a razors WIDTH of Metallica’s tone, awesome job bro🔥

[JNewnew]

Incredible as always. The Justice clean tone and Rhythm tones are to die for

3:18 man, that was so freaking smooth

I've sometimes heard people complain about the way AJFA sounds, but to my ears, the doomy scooped tones of the rhythm guitar tracks have killer tones to them. Hetfield's choices of guitar sounds from MOP, AJFA, and the Black Album are all uniquely different yet all badass. Then again, Hetfield's aggressive and precise string attack really gives ultimate definition to let those notes speak. A hundred years from now people will still be talking about how good this shit sounds.

one thing that is lost on many guitarists, is that more gain is not better, or heavier. especially in a mix with multiple layered guitars, a talented player using lower gain but proper palm muting technique will always yield that tone we all dream about. well done sir, that ESP is beautiful.

That isn't a guitar any more, it's a monster

[gguitar]

It's the closest tone I've ever heard for AJFA🤘🏼

[nckpower]

To say that this sound is wonderful is an understatement, this is amazing!

[ingravidad]

Its crazy how creative James was back then, I dont get why he cant get to that level of inspiration anymore

[mate]

That intro to One spot on, good job with the tone

[remix]

You hit the nail on the head, the tone is perfect

[clausandmarianne]

Truely amazing sound you created. The closest to AJFA ive heard so far. Plus at 7:17 i turned around to notice my cat was not behind me ;D

[unlshtb]

some people hate this albums tone but the crunchy distortion is truly unique, no other album or even band has utilized such a tone so well

[RustInPeace]

Holy crap, that’s really close, I can really hear the justice sound in the chugs

[Lord_Raptor]

I'm probably one of the only people that loves the Justice tone. 🤘🤘

[lxfthxndlxgxcy]

[MrPepe]

That is absolutely on point - you could literally sub out the album parts
That clean intro !!! 😊😊😊😊😊

[brandonbustamante]
