it's actually pretty simple for the studio version. The live versions are harder, not just because of the speed but that's where James added triplets to the riff
@@kartikchandrasekhar2762 he does for real he has a gallop style that is distinct and it's thrash metal a lot of people think it's what you do with your left hand on the cords but it's not always all about that it also has a lot to do with the right hand.
Crazy fact James originally played the main riff with half the speed when he came up with it. Then sped it up and I believe the track recording is up to 444hz tuning
@@danielepitzoi6097 Exactly 😅 also, people blaime everything on drugs and forget about hard work and talent. Probably because they are to lazy to even try. My friend can downpick or tremolo pick as fast as Hetfield did in late 80' and he is afraid to take even a painkiller pill 😃
Do you know if the classical intro is actually played by them? I know it is related to a baroque anonymous song and you can even hear an harpsichord, so I wonder if someone with academic classical guitar skills is involved as feature on the intro.
@@venon4575 for me, it's the speed. I need to practice the song daily for several weeks just so I can have enough stamina to play the whole song beginning to end.
3:06
Solo guitar: Allow me to introd...
James: shut up Kirk!😁
That was actually the harmonies james wrote for the song 😁
That riff under the solo is super hard
I think the verse riff is much worse
@@_ProTrax Pretty much every riff in this song is hard
@@pessinieminen4341 when consider its mostly downpicked yes
It's the only metallica rhythm section I cannot do

2:39 is fucking tight, and technical chugging…
James's right arm isn't human
@@CaptainRudy4021 is a robot
@@CaptainRudy4021it wasn’t human when he was just 20! when ride the lightning came out in July ‘84 it still isn’t human now!
You can hear the durms in James’s Riffing….love that
Da durms
@@KnozLo lol
Lars and cliff: how strong is your wrist and hand?
James: yes.
That intro is the most amazing thing
Go James! Rrrrrrraa
Little known fact: the intro was composed and performed by Cliff
@@mattwatts33 nah we all know that was cliff
It was based on an orchestral piece, if memory serves correctly. He really brought class to a rambunctious group.
@@anubeia do you know which orchestral piece
THE SOLO SECTION RHTYHM
2:38
No EMG active pickups, no big sound effects, no digital correction just perfect guitar playing
Actually kirk was using emg pickups by rtl
@@CaptainRudy4021 Yup

I know for whom the bell tolls, creeping death, and fade to black are 444hz. Beyond that I'm not entirely sure.
@@CaptainRudy4021 bell tolls is 450hz but the rest are 444hz
james had to have made the fire begins riff while on 20 lines of coke
He never used coke so.... no.
Alcohol was enough lol

@@krystofodehnal9448 it was a joke btw, I know it’s just alcohol fueled cocky Metallica at the time, I wish I was born in the 80s
@@skimask6781 No problem man. Yeah, exactly 🤘 more like be about 20 years old during 80s 😅
It doesn't matter if its just rhythm Guitar, the drums play in my head
James could destroy a mountain with the sheer power he holds in his wrist.
Holy shit! Those riffs sound like a storm!
It's a firestorm 😁
@@CaptainRudy4021 LARGE
The chorus riff 💀🔥
Just dancing the riffs WOW
Это реально огонь!🔥🔥🔥💪👍
как же он чётко играет риффы
Lol love this picture

It was recorded by them but they don't play it live
its cliff playing
2:38
Fast and more fast love it thanks good
2:38 i don’t know why but i could never play it. i only play rhythm and still can’t play this part and i’ve been playing guitar for 6 years😭
I feel your pain man. I've been playing almost 13 years and I still have a hard time with it.
@@CaptainRudy4021 YO I FINALLY LEARNED IT A FEW DAYS AGO LOL
@@CaptainRudy4021 it’s basically thunder kiss main riff but faster lol

@@CaptainRudy4021 i feel that. i’ve been really sloppy at guitar lately and need to start getting back into it
This riff is fucking evil
Dang I didn't know Billy from Stranger Things was in Metallica
Is true Mr James Hetfield is the king of the technical tempo speed Riff. Can you say something about?
0:44
1:05
That riff behind the solo is a wrist twister for sure, same happens with motorbreath the original recording is super weird
So drunk in that pic
James looks drunk Lars looks buzzed Cliff looks high😂😂
