For me, the hardest part of blackened is the way the main riff sounds reversed right after the solo. I can never keep in time. But FFWF is damn hard, and that damage inc riff is my absolute favorite.
I'm learning Blackened and it's a killer. I've managed to do it at 70% speed haha. I need to work on my stamina and downpicking speed because it just kills my arm. I am also learning The Frayed Ends of Sanity. There are some really cool riffs in this one under the solo. Those two are two of my top 10 Metallica songs, well, really up there on the top 5.
Blackened has definitely been crushing my soul for years, good pick
Exactly! Way harder than it seems
Blackened doesn’t make sense to my ears when I try to play it
middle riff in frayed ends of sanity
Riff under the solo is the craziest thing in that song.
What an absolute banger it is.
@@chewybangyeah I’ve been playing about 3 years and I can play it but not as clean as James
Yep
Kinda shocked to not see Dyers Eve here. I find it blows puppets out of the water for difficulty.
Never understood why people consider dyers eve hard. Theres a hundred metallica riffs that are harder. Master of puppets is definetly one of them
@@кчау-л6я not the riff itself,playing it up to speed constantly and keeping up for the entire song
@@octaaka4757 yeah, my point still stands. Theres a ton of harder metallica riffs. Almost all of them are played for the entire song
Sick! Damage inc is my favorite 🤘
Satisfying 😎
Great list. If I could add one more It would be crepping death, I still impressed with the fact that james can play that riff and sing together
Great tune and it was on of the songs I was considering. It's crazy what he can play and sing together
It's actually a pretty easy riff, just really fast
@@Eckathor tbh almost any metallica riff is easy, just the speed that many struggle with
Great choiches and great sound! I would add Dyers Eve, Spit out the bone and Damage inc.
Nice video dude! 👍 I still haven't moved beyond Master Of Puppets yet!😂 Can't get it up to record speed. One day...
killed it
Nice riffs ! What’s your drum soft on this one ?
Counterkit by Kyle Brownlee of Counterparts!
@@Melos-Media thanks man !

thought creeping death was gonna be the first
anyway, what a top!
Creepingdeath is definitely a good one!

@miguelbarrera8052 Good on ya man! Keep at it and you will definitely get there 🤘
2:01 🤘🤘.
I think too that battery is the most difficult riff of Metallica...
Dyeres Eve! ❤
sounds awesome! what did you use for your drums if i may ask? thank you!
Counter kit! I highly recommend it
for me Blackened is tough.......Through the Never.....Battery........solo on Master
i think battery is really hard to play and sing, but not too hard to play it by itself. same with blackened
can i get your amp settings ?
Hey mate! for this video I used the Van51 Amp on Guitar Rig with a tube screamer, EQ and compressor 🤘
@@Melos-Media thx for answer, buddy :)
WHAT ABOUT DYERS EVE
Dyers Eve
NO
Metal Militia
Sanity
;)
One "behind" the solo
And many others
Blackened is so hard that you played it wrong 😂 where’s the turn around note
A little bit harder than Smoke on the water :)
Metallica has no hard riffs 😂 Music for newbies.
