Hey kids! Its your good buddy Uncle Ben here with another Weekend Wankshop lesson!
On today's episode, i'm gonna give you all a note-for-note lesson on how to play Kirk Hammet's amazing solo from Struggle Within, from Metallica's legendary Black Album!!! I really feel like if you want to know all of the stuff Kirk does, you should learn this solo; its got his pentatonic stuff, his wah pedal use, his legato, pull-offs to open strings, everything! Quite possibly his best solo on their self-titled album.
Standard tuning, lots of fun, not as hard as it sounds. I'm using my Suhr Modern Satin and Fractal Axe FX III on the Petrucci "learning to lead" preset.It sounds so good!!!!
Let me know what other classic Metallica solos you want to learn next on Weekend Wankshop! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! What classic Kirk Hammett Metallica solos do you want to learn next?
The Unforgiven III! Super underrated song with an amazing solo!
I think shortest straw would be cool to do!
@@calebhoyle9371 Yeah, shortest straw has crazy solo.
Bleeding me
Disposable Heroes
Again, Ride the Lightning! A masterpiece of playing to the rhythm chords... lyrical in spots, face melting shred in others, Pure Kirk (and prolly some cliff) genius
I've been begging him to do the spider chord riff. I've seen 3-4 different ways to do the album version.
I love that these come out around 7am my time. I work a night shift, and finished work at 8:30am so it's something to look forward to for the weekend.
It was a wise decision on Kirk's part not to use the wah pedal on the first part of the solo
Henrique Darlim it's the perfect use of wah in metal... Basically allows the band to sound like they have two lead players
I don't understand why, after all these decades, I didn't even see that. Now I can see the difference when he threw the wah in.
You kept that awesome sweet riff right after the solo in the intro. Yes! Also, if I remember correctly from the Year in the Life video, he changes guitar once or twice in the solo, which you can tell from the tone. However, the tone on this recording is SO sweet. Gotta learn this one quick. Thanks for the lesson, Uncle Ben!
The solo was actually played 14 times with a different guitar. Afterwards Kirk chose the one that sounded best to him without knowing what guitar or take it was. It turned out to be his ESP KH-2 ;)
Happy Birthday Uncle Ben!!
Looking forward to many more weekend wankshop!!
Ah my biological step Dad with another banger of a lesson
This is one of my all time favorite Kirk solos. Thanks for doing this video!
I had a big struggle within the time before this lesson came out. Thank you uncle Ben.
I have to thank you Uncle Ben for so many amazing lessons over the years.
And after this amazing solo comes one of Metallica's, heaviest and so under appreciated sections of any song they have ever done. Its fast and brutal 🤘Awsome video dude!
Thanks for the nostalgia trip Uncle Ben. Forgot how much I loved this solo as a kid
Ben, that was beyond cool! That is one of my favorite Kirk solos as well. I had to learn that solo by ear back when the album came out...the internet, as it is today, did not exist (kinda revealed my age...lol). Luckily the "Year and a half in the life of..." came out shortly after and that clip you referred to have me an idea of what positions and techniques Kirk was using. I'm glad that the newcomers and old schools (like myself) have someone like you to share their talent and insight with in this musical world. You rock!
Awesome ,thank you
One of the most underrated songs on the black album and possibly the best solo
That desending melody at 8:00 sound like interstelar from hans zimmer. 😏 especially when played slow.
Didn't realize how awesome that solo was!
See? These kinds of things are insane... Talking about the Post Solo Riff... In a video you mentioned how awesome it was and I couldn't agree more. I was headbanging on that riff ever since I was a little kid listening to my dad's CD/tapes. Today I was listening to your solo demonstration and just when the intro music was supposed to happen (any Metallica in Major Key) all of a sudden the badass riff kicked in and kept going, just like my brain expected. Gave me chills. So awesome and good job n the video. Got to relearn some things out of that.
So I am a very huge Metallica fan and even more of a Kirk Hammett fan and I have watched a lot of people try and do that Solo in your intro you nailed it I have never watched your videos my god brother I love you
Great solo! Great shirt! Great video!
thanks it was a very good and comprehensive lesson
Cool!!! I'll learn this. I love this song! Tks Ben!
That tone is amazing!
Love this solo
Thank you man. This was very useful. Informative.
this da best solo ever of kirk !
Added to favs for when I feel like I can tackle this. I'm not there yet. Not sure I'll ever be. But saved just in case.
YES THANK YOU SO MUCH UNCLE BEN!!!
Thanks a lot uncle ben you're great
My favorite solo from kirk also
What a solo. I love the montage of Kirk playing it on the year and a half videos. Great job as usual, Ben!
Ahahaha I was listening to the separate tracks tryin to learn this solo as the notification hit
DYER’S EVE (7th times the charm, bro)
Damage inc.
Disposable heroes.
Blackened.
The unforgiven |||, ||, and | just for fun.
And, that epic middle section in the four horsemen that no-one ever talks about.
I don't know how you get these down it seems like lifetimes away if ever for myself respect and thanks.
Killer lesson!🙌🤘🤘
I love my Uncle Ben!
Dear uncle Ben, your content is golden (as always). I am not sure, if you take requests or anything like it, but I would be happy to see your solo lesson for Symbolic by Death. Cheers from Russia!
A* FLAWLESS BEN! Memories of the montage in A Year and a Half...
"That's a little flat, Eller". LOL!
Love the way you play and demonstrate this!!!
again i am happy my father ben has uploaded
I'm really glad you put "that" riff into the intro card
Hey Uncle Ben you're part of the reason I was able to do this in 9 months I still got a ways to go but there was a backing track on one of the RUclips channels I was learning to play guitar off of and I only started doing this 9 months ago so I play lead to that backing track I did three takes but I only recorded the third one I should have recorded all three because I think the first two were better but still I did it in nine months which I think is pretty cool and pretty proud of myself and you are partly responsible for that so I want to thank you and if you get a chance to listen to it let me know what you think and thanks again bro I'll keep watching and keep learning cuz you're a good teacher
great stuff as always!
happy birthday, ben!
Just shows how much effort Kirk used to put into his solos. now if just WAH WHA dive bomb WAH WAH dive bomb
Excellent tutorial. I’ve been watching play throughs on this song because there were so many tricks and sounds I wanted to add to my play style. I definitely can’t do any of it to full speed yet… especially the “Yngwie pedals” lick. I was going to try to learn Creeping Death first but felt I could pick up on this one easier without quitting. Thanks. It’s going to change me as a guitar player once I get it down.
20:21 I’ve always played that note with the harmonics.
Awesome!
Thanks! 👍✨
you literally nailed it, sounds just like the original
Weekend wahshop 👍🏻
10:55 he uses this lick in his solo in San Diego 92’ as well as some Dyers Eve, Misery, and Don’t Tread On Me solo licks.
Waw u r zo amazing uncle
My favorite Metallica solo has always been Creeping Death, show us this one please mate!
More Kirk solos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about a little challenge for you Uncle Ben? Would be killer to see you nail some holdsworth
To keep it in the metal universe how about one of the Holdsworthian Meshuggah solos?
@@st9919 Then it should be something off of Special Defects.
While reminiscent of some Holdsworth stuff, the "regular" Meshuggah solo material shows less connection to Holdis style than any solo from SD
I'm so glad you did the follow up riff as your intro, lol
7:22 if youve ever seen that footage of kirks original version of the unforgiven solo (the really bad one) that lick is actually similar to one from there
I love you videos. Effortless playing.
That is one of his better badass solos I like that one!!
More Hammet!!
I can practically feel you restraining yourself during 'steepdad speed'! Must. Play. Faster....
what the fuck that is an awesome solo and your cover is clean as fu
Next solo ktulu. 😎
I'd love a weekend wankshop solo lesson for Lamb of God, some of their solo's have great phrases.
excellent Ghost shirt Ben . check out Beast in Black , and maybe bring them to Wheekend Whankshoppe .
How does Kirk Hammett play the "Struggle Within" solo? He struggles... mostly within.
Don't we all?
@@bryanlettow4389 Dude you ok?
Nice idea playing the super cool post solo riff as your intro. Aside from your video it doesn't get any respect. 😤
The solo was flawless
Sorry if its already been covered, but how about the solo for either fight the good fight, or lay it on the line from Triumph. Ive always loved both of those solos, but never really found much online about them. BTW you rock, and you seriously have the best how to vids out there!
Let's do this!
Sick
Kick ass!! I’d like to request: “NO REMORSE” by Metallica next please Uncle Ben!!
the real lesson i want is "how to match your eyebrows to your guitar solo" haha but this is great i always wondered what he was doing during that wah bit before the bends, thanks ben! :D
Even if I don't think kirk is the greatest like when I was 13, he's still a great writer and an even better improviser, you can tell solos like this had a rough framework and the rest just exploded out of him, don't always make "sense" but sounds perfect. Love this guy.
I couldn't pay any attention to the solo, I was to busy trying to figure out what the hell was going with your eyebrows...
Omg … THaT Waah Smiley Face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just an out of context comment:
The riff after the solo is awesome!!
Awesome Ben! Hey, what about the Walk solo by Dimebag?? That would be cool!🤘
He already did.
Thanks Dave, I'll check that out
Thanks man! Lucretia next?
@1:59 you miss the tail end of this run from your lesson Uncle Ben - why Ben, why?!? 😥
Wah uh wah wah uh wah
Uncle fucking Ben does it again!!!! How about a Mr. Crowley solo for an old man like me?!?
Can you please do the thing that should not be solo there is not one video on RUclips thanks
If you do the Solo for Toe to toes from Mastodon I'll love you forever and ever! I NEED to know that solo!
I can’t get the vibrato or whatever it’s called when I bend the low E string. Am I doing it wrong
excellent!! the preset sounds killer, i have the Ax8, wonder if i can duplicate it .. or upgrade heh
That's a great, underrated solo.
Am I crazy or there is a missing part at 10:33? The bend before the crazy chromatic lick?
as a step dad i take offense to calling step dad speed. i think you should change it to step mom speed. my wife is a step mom and she is a little slow. Ha Ha
Hey Ben. I’m at 0:08 and I’m seeing this Ghost tee you’re wearing. Can you recommend a couple of your favorite tracks? The few I’ve heard weren’t really for me, but I know you’ve got good taste.
Much appreciated.
If you don't like "ritual" you won't like any of their other stuff.
Axenic Second basically their entire first album is perfect, IMO; of the newer stuff, check out Square Hammer, Cerice, Rats.... it’s all great!
Ah man, ya skipped part of that descending lick during the breakdown. Right before the alternating hammer on/pull off slide back and fourth frenzy around 10:50
Seth I'Anson hahahahaha dude you’re totally right. What in the hell???? How did I do that?!?! Thankfully it’s on the Instagram tab. Thanks for the catch!!!
Ben Eller a simply ploy to convince us you’re human! Tabs and stepdad speed do the trick just fine. Thanks, sir!
Hey Ben is it possible for you to do a video of Zakk Wyldes Breaking all the rules solo and the track from no rest for the wicked Song called hero i cant find anything on youtube that shows how to play either song ! Please help
Golf clap. His best is still the Unforgiven solo after Bob Rock pissed him off good and proper insulting his preparation. My 2nd fave is his solo on Orion here ruclips.net/video/c8qrwON1-zE/видео.html
The switching interval slide at 6:35 on that song is just gorgeous. Struggle within was a good choice too.
I can’t play. I only come here to watch Ben nail every single fucking thing he ever plays.
i might catch hell in this comments section for this, but here goes: i'd love to hear your take on that crazy solo from "the end of the line" off of the death magnetic album. as frenetic as it is, i think it fits the song pretty reasonably. i'd bet money that kirk couldn't do it the same way twice but i'd be very interested to see you do it...
Kris Gilstrap there are a few great solos on that record, and, he actually played it live pretty damn excellent🤷🏼♂️. I don’t think he cares about solos sounding the same. Dude just loves the wah and ripping whatever licks he feels like at the moment.
Your tone sounds dead on like Kirk's. Amazing.
I thought it said how Kirk really struggles within a solo
to be fair, these days he probably does
5:37
I would suggest a solo to cover...I think it's a confusing one... It's the solo of Iron maiden's Brave new world... Can you cover that?
