right on for the info i know you didn´t write the article but i was thinkin …wouldn´t there be 21 dim 7th chord in the relay?…being that there are 3 different types of dim 7th chords before the notes repeat in one of the 4 different inversions with 3 unique starting points(6th,5th & 4th strings) that when played in succession will repeat for the next 2 chords within any of the 3 unique starting points for a dim 7tth will give you 21 unique versions of the dim 7th chords for the relay
@jeanrepetto I think you're right, Satriani does say that the exercise should be experimented with. So if using inversions you'll get more positions and starting points. Also, try this exercise strumming and arpeggiation
Actually, the funniest thing about this interview is that Kirk had to defend himself against a scarf that was trying to strangle him, without pausing the conversation. 😱🤣
@@trevsguitarstash4967same here..I make fun of Metallica whenever I'm with my friend who's a huge fan and tell him Kirk's a sloppy one dimentional player..but I'm a fan aswell..maybe there's just so much in their catalogue you tend to mix things up.
He's bluffing, we all know he does one thousand heel raises in those gold wha-tastic loafers, in order to Wah-nnihilate his 9 wah pedal board. He's just trying to not wah-veal to us how to reach the true levels of Walhalla.
fast forward 40 years later Hammett sees Satch and says "im still doing that warm up you taught me"....Satch replies " I made that up, I thought you knew i was busting your balls."
No it was 2004 and the Yankees just beat Boston 18-6 in game 3 of the championship and then Boston sweep and won their first championship and broke the Bambino curse
He actually revealed his exact warmup on Yousician nearly a year ago. So anyone with access to Yousician can see that and a lot of other tips and tricks from the band. 😉 👍🏻
@@jackmin6397 wtf you mean “for prince”? I said he can’t pull of wearing clothes LIKE Prince could. Meaning Prince could actually wear crazy clothes because of his demeanour and attitude. Are you schizophrenic?
From being a starving musician to become a metal legend, have a 2 million dollar iconic guitar and his own legion of losers hating him on you tube. Thats when you know you made it.
Kirk and the rest of Metallica made it long before all the other stuff you mentioned, lol. Some people actually have constructive criticism to share, which is cool, but most people just really piss all over Metallica. There are a lot of bands and music I don't like, either, but I just don't listen to them. These guys must olay Metallica just to be annoyed, I guess. I do that once in a while by listening to ridiculous pop music.
I've been using that as a warmup since 1988 or '89 when Satch showed it in his Guitar World column - he called it "The Diagonal Chord Relay". Then 10 or so years later I would show it to my guitar students and they would trip out.
Kirks fashion sense went from torn jeans and sleeveless Motorhead t-shirts to flowing french scarves and deep purple jump suits and silver and gold pennyloafers...
It's there in his solo album. When you think of it, it lends the question why his playing is 1000x more advanced there and 1000x less interesting with Metallica.
@@Yahwe666yeah considering how he barely used wah on those first 5 to the way you guys mostly comment due to their live performances - not his work on their discography before the mid-90's. I've never heard people talk this much shit about a lead guitarist who made damn near all the best and iconic riffs James didn't surprisingly make, in addition to the stretch of solos he was amazing at from KEA-AJFA. He had different styles across those albums too. Now everyone talks shit about his guitar playing from the 00's, but act like he has anything more to prove.
When my son was about ten, his father really got into Joe Satriano and bought a few albums. Based on those albun covers, my son called him "the man with pleasant smile." Still cracks me up.
It’s very telling that the blind sycophants can’t understand why longtime ACTUAL fans would give Kirk a hard time for letting his skills deteriorate. But go ahead and be an enabler for mediocrity, by all means
@@MeatFeet I love that you equate skill/discipline with monetary success like it's a valid argument. My point being that some of the most disciplined and talented musicians of all time have been poor all their life while bimbos like Kirk Hammet are rich. Good thing Hetfield is a solid songwriter.
@@SirEebRhawl I love that kind of comment with retro active bullshit. Like non sense, as Kirk was a superstar overnight. He was a founder of Exodus, and made from this and beyond some songwriting great stuff. Creeping Death, Trapped Under Ice, Fade To Black, Disposable Heroes, Enter Sandman, Through The Never, The Thing that should not be etc...
@@SirEebRhawlI guess Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, Manowar, Megadeth, Sepultura etc...were not great musicians as they re not broke anymore.
@@Nissardpertugiu Learn how to read. English is not my first language either, so I sympathize, but you're reacting to points I haven't even made. Firstly, my comment doesn't say that Kirk has no writing credit for a handful of great songs. It states a simple fact: James Hetfield's songwriting is what makes Metallica what it is, not Kirk technical abilities (which aren't that great... that's not a controversial statement, any metal guitar player worth his salt would agree, and in any case, he's not even better than Dave Mustaine). Secondly, I specifically said that skill doesn't equate to monetary success. Whether any of those bands are broke or successful says nothing about their level of talent either way. If you disagree I'm willing to hear the argument, but don't mischaracterize what I say like an amateur.
In the late 70’s I met Kirk Hammett for a second but watch him jam up in Alvarado Park in Richmond California with my best friends little brother Gary Holt from Exodus they borrowed my drums for the jam session so to speak it was great and I was impressed! From both of them Gary and Kurt!🎉
"I'm showing you" made me laugh.

The entire interview is a spinal tap moment. Pretty much anything with Kirk is.
Especially with those shoes.
Nearly hung himself on his fancy shawl-tie trying to demonstrate the jazz chord relay.
100% 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Rick - an actual jazz instructor and player “I don’t know the Jazz Chord Relay”
KH: “No one does” flip-flop-flip-flop

Yeah, but if it came from Satch, it must be legit. This is a case for Unsolved Mysteries.
😂😂😂
The flip flop sent me to heaven 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah we need that
It's right there, just look at his left hand
It’s the “diagonal chord relay” lmao

He does that on occasion

Seen Satriani at the Beacon years ago 3rd row center stage, what a the show man
I saw Satch in 1989
Was it the show in 1996? I was in the balcony but still amazing. Yankees won the series during the show.

His shoes tell me everything I need to know about his personality.
He only dresses like that for important things . He usually dresses casually and wears vans at the shows
That's not really how personality works, but okay.

Along with a million dollar guitar. 😂

Went from Lemmy to Jack Sparrow

I'm positive kirk is the result of a fling between Johnny Depp and Richard Simmons.
Oh my God too fubny
I can't stop laughing

even when taking a dump he played the guitar
I think it was one of those inside joke things.

He warms up his foot with a wahwah
He “practiced” the same thing from 1982, he is now on the same level than in 1982. There you have it, kids..
last pic is early records of playing god being created
The wildest part about Hammett is he constantly brings up his “training” with Satch, but in reality he ran over basics for a week with him, then quit.
Yea, he must have discharged himself, Satch is probably ashamed people say Wahmett was his student...

The fact that he hasn't changed his warm-up from 1982 and that ignored the practice part of the question, really tells a lot about him...
honestly I find it impressive that at his age he can do that THAT fast, those are some fast fuggin switches
This dude is so hammered in every interview
Kirk is proof you can be a legend and still not know exactly what the heck you're doing ❤😅
Can’t hold Mustain’s jockstrap
Kirk is playing Peter Green's vintage Les Paul.
