My first question is and its the thing I find most difficult about learning new things on guitar is the tablature. I had a few questions I wanted to ask before I did, and did not know where to post them. I’m interested in getting a “Premium Plus” membership.

I found you on Youtube a while ago now and I decided it was time to become a member on your site.

If these free lessons help you, please donate to keep new ones coming daily. I hope you guys enjoy learning this early masterpiece from Metallica! The are a lot of fast shifts and HUGE stretches so it definitely is for the more experienced guitar player. When playing these arpeggios, you will need to be pretty fleet fingered. These arpeggios are based off of two separate repeated patterns which I will break down in detail. The real star of the show in Kirk Hammett's solo comes next with the fast arpeggio section. I will be teaching the highest harmony part just like Kirk Hammett plays it live. By the way, many sections of the solo are either doubled an octave lower or harmonized. From there we have some rapid blues based licks into some ascending triplets. In the third video lesson, we make it to the fast double-time section of the solo that opens with a bunch of unison bends. There is rapid tapping, octaves, blues licks, long legato based licks and a super fast alternate picked section to close out the first half of the solo.Īs usual, I will take everything phrase-by-phrase in order to help you absorb all the different licks in a reasonable manner. The second video will cover the first half of the solo up until the fast double-time section. In the second and third video lessons, I will break down Kirk Hammett's epic guitar solo note-for-note. Besides the riffs, I will also cover the harmony guitar intro and show you both parts just in case you have a second guitar player to jam with. There are a lot of different sections of the song, so it is a marathon just getting the riffs together. In the first video lesson, I will show you all of the riffs in "Ride the Lightning" in the same order that they appear in the song. The tuning used in this lesson and the original recording is standard tuning. There are lots of cool riffs in this one that run the gamut for slow groove based riffs to ultra fast thrash metal.
