How to play 'Creeping Death' by Metallica Guitar Solo Lesson

  • Hi guys! Welcome to lesson 96 of Learn That Solo! Today we look at how to play the solo from 'Creeping Death' by Metallica of the ever so winnesque 'Ride The Lightning'.
    I had this on my request list and I was like 'Chris can't you already play this?'. I learned the solo again after 2 years of cobwebs and rust and I think the video came out okay. This solo is manageable but kinda lengthy. Some of Kirk note choice is questionable (like always) but the song and solo are pretty fun.
    Take care guys! Happy shredding!
    If you wish to request a tab/guitar pro file for this song, please send an email to learnthatsolo@gmail.com and we can discuss further.

    I've found to learn Kirk's solos you should learn Tony iommis first. Very similar blues type tricks. But Kirk speeds them up. So...it's a good way to learn.

    Chris Zoupa This is my favorite Metallica song! I know how to play all of Jame's parts and all of Kirk's parts except this solo haha. Thanks to you I can learn it quickly and easily. You kick ass man! I'm 17 and I've been playing for almost a year now and your videos have helped my progress tremendously. Thanks so much. I also wanted to request some solos off the Death Magnetic album. I've been trying really hard to learn "That Was Just Your Life" that would be awesome if you could do a lesson for it.

    Lot of Metallica's 'fast' songs don't have great solos. They sound the same. But when you give Hammett a mid-tempo song, he fucking nails it.

    Hey Chris, nice work on this solo tutorial, very helpful in showing us the right notes for the faster runs etc. quick question, dyou ever try tackle any stuff like Slipknot riffs etc? Im having a bit of trouble with an opening riff for a song called prosthetics. as far as I can work out, Mick is using a ring modulator, some delay, pitch shifted down an octave and some slight phasing too. But because the fx are so thick its hard to sus the EXACT notes he's playing. closest I can get is somewhere around frets 7-9 on the low B and F# strings. dyou think you could take a listen and see if you can figure it out? plz, and thanks in advance!
