The fact James does this for hours on end at live shows ( sometimes even faster than the original track lol ) while standing up and singing, just shows why he's one of the gods of metal. He ain't human man lol
Efficient picking is the key. No strain, nice and loose, letting the speed come naturally and confidently. When Meshuggah play Bleed, they barely move a muscle at all, with the exception of the vocalist :p
Ive lost yhe taste for Metallica ever since the Black album, got it back a little with Death Magnetic but reguardless James is by far the best downpicker ever
It’s not hard @ The Hunter…
@@MFKitten that's the difference. They're not moving at all, same goes for someone like Glenn Tipton who's also very efficient. Papa Het however is very relaxed but you can see his hand moving a lot
Vinnie: “As far as rhythm guitar goes, Dime just loved James Hetfield. He said he had the fastest right hand in music.”
Now that Maradona is dead, we can call James the Hand of God!
Kirk plays same shit, so there is 2 fastest right hands.
James' downpicking is so legendary. And you're killing it! Now cover of Master, Toronto '86 please 😬😛
Haha thats a challenge 😅💪
toronto86?
@@marc3d this one. Totally nuts 🤯 ruclips.net/video/5ESicEzUtqk/видео.html
@@marc3d toronto 1986 concert
NO! The fastest one is Canada 856 its about 20%+ bpm on all songs. I think it best one!
upd: whoops! Im sorry, Toronto is Canada)
James only alternate picks when downpicking would literally shatter his wrist.
His downpick skill is inhuman. It's like he pumped all his souls into DEX and END
Awesome right hand technique ! No movement wasted ! Chapeau !
Thanks man!! 💪💪🤘
Just like you
Alternate fast picking I managed to get pretty good at. Having played in a thrash band for a number of years really helped with that. But yeah, James' downpicking is seriously wrist-wrecking. Even Creeping Death, which sounds and seems like a simple riff to play but getting it up to speed is a lot harder than you think. Then there is Master of Puppets and Blackened, which are much harder riffs but also downpicked. He is a machine.
you might be the first person i've seen, that played every riff in the video correct
Man, the dual tracking is flawless. It's so fucking tight, I'm so jealous. It really adds a whole other level to the complexity
Thanks man! 💪
First
That Fight Fire With Fire riff was clean, you should do a lesson on that riff alone!
Haha as expected :D
@@KarriHanninen tee lessoni siitä se on vaikee riffi, ihan vammanen
Nailed the Blackened riff. I see it played incorrectly so often. Nice to see someone do it .... justice! 🤣🤣
Take your like and get out of here
@@loganstrickler thanks 😂😂
I’ve always wanted Metallica to do a modern album in the style of …And Justice For All. Crushing thrash album, both in sound and riffage. 🤘😀🤘
all they can do nowadays is rip their own songs off
Very tight 🤘
A more 'modern' Metallica song but My Apocalypse from Death Magnetic is a real wrist shredder too.
That transistion from Creeping to Damage was tense my brother. Love the way you segue from song to song.
You’re either wincing in pain or feeling the thrashy groove \m/
same thing
Been watching your videos for like 4 years now, glad to see you’re still tearing up the riffs 🤘🏻
Wow man, nice work!! Good to see you havin a good time rocking out too
man I missed u so much , good to see that hand of yours keep getting faster and faster
Karri u crazy bro....awesome playing as always man, always pleasure to watch u play man 🤘
Awesome choice of songs. Great video.
great stuff karri!
Wow! You're an excellent player, Karri. Great content as always!
This sounds fantastic! Nice job
That guitar is sick, especially the headstock
been looking for comments about his guitar. do you know what kind it is?
@@Timewalker13 looks like a mayones to me
@@maxcrathern9640 That guitar is mint bro wym
@@Timewalker13 the brand mayones, I agree the guitar does in fact look mint
@@maxcrathern9640 Oh my bad I read mayonnaise 😂
Great playing and awesome guitar man!
Bad ass man! 🔥🤘👍🎸 much respect. That's a work out for sure
As always, a pleasure to watch and listen man!! My best wishes for you bro
Thanks Anto! Nice to hear from you 💪💪
Great job man! I’m actually practicing this song too. I’ve loved it since it first came out.
Ripping! You're an inspiration dude. Much respect.
So crisp. Well done!
Love the part @ 4:18 🤘😀🤘
tight playing man🤟🏼👍🏼
Respect! trust me I know how hard it is to figure out how everything is played (and you nailed it) and actually perform it. To add to the challenge, try adding the bridge riff of master, the rythm section of ffwf during the solo and the bridge of damage inc.
Awesome playing dude. James is beast🔥
Thanks, he sure is!! 💪
Great job
Sounds killer as always ! 🙂🇫🇷
Hey hope you are doing well and happy in life. I'm staying subbed and will continue to enjoy your vids. If you choose to start uploading again I will be there to listen, but even if not I want to thank you and say how great this channel was. Cheers mate
Excellent! You are the beast
Awesome as always Karri! \m/
Thanks Paul! 🤘🤘
It takes many lonely nights to reach this level of wrist stamina
Awesome job! These are really fast and tough songs!
Thanks and definitely! 🤘🤘
Awesome stuff dude
These riffs in Standard Tuning sound heavier 'to me' than most modern metal riffs tuned to Drop Z.
Talented guitarist ... Love your skills.. 🤘🏼😊👍❤️
Thanks man! 🤘
Awesome !!!
You're the man!!🤘
Crunchy and tight💥
Please make more videos ✌️
Amazing technique and how you play guitar so so nice. Regards Tapani Ilmari R 🥳🤘👍🇫🇮
That was sick
amazing
Awesome! :)
Bad ass bro 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fecking awesome!
Thanks Tony!! 💪💪
That was fucking great! 🤘
Awesome new axe!
I can only say one thing brother... "Suomi Finland Perkele!"
Kiitos ja hyvää päivää jatkoa! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
If I player Master of Puppets and Blackened back to back I swear it feels like my arm is going to explode.
Badass!🤘
Great!!!!
Great technique! The verse riff of The End of The Line I feel could also be included here, it can be a bit tricky imo
Noice chops
Years Good Karri!!!! Healthy Lucky And Happy!!!! 😉
Yo the man is back! Good vid as always dude, btw how many guitar tracks did you record for this? 3?
2 tracks, 100% left and right 💪
@@KarriHanninen Ah noice, I thought there was a center track as well. But with a tone like that, I guess 2 is all you need. Rock on brother!
@@shaZam9 bass is in centre, Oysten (my audio guy) isnt available right now so I didnt mix this too much 😅
Gtreat job!
Can you do a similar video with Iced Earth's old songs like Stormrider, Stygian etc ? Awesome picking btw!
Your hand must be on fire 🔥☝️
You switched up the drums on the first iteration of Fight Fire with Fire and I think I honestly prefer the drums like that now...
Glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed 😅
Yeahhh from Mexico 💯🤟
Bro 🤘💪
I really wanna see the outtakes! But damn dude. I couldn’t play all those riffs in one continuous fashion
Soitat helvetin hyvin. 🤘
great chops! what guitar is that man? looks very cool
Badass!!
brother, your tone and playing is so amazing, could you share what youre playing through? amps, simulators, fx chains? really tight playing, very impressive
Thanks man! In this video Im just using Fortin Nameless (No complaints now preset by Ola Englund) on the guitars without any extra eq or post processing 💪
@@KarriHanninen thank you!!!!
Ok Professor Karri!! Mix and video and everything sounds great, metalhead!! That guitar is wonderful! Keeping up ur CHOPS, huh! I attempted Dyer's Eve one time but I got tired and am kind of old now, haha... next lesson please play some SLAYER!! */w\TMFR/w\*
Hey man, so cool to hear from you!! I need to setup some streams again hah 🤘
That's why this is my genre, and why this genre is so awesome. Em tuned guitars are so much more vibrant and clear than tuned down guitars. These riffs are beautiful because they were classically composed . Today's metal may be more extreme as far as flat out speed or brutality, but the voicing and clarity are unmatched. Rust in peace by Megadeth is absolutely beautiful
There’s still metal out there that lends itself to clarity and songwriting. You should check out some melodeath sometime and avoid most techdeath (Beyond Creation is a must though. Those guys are amazing) or anything-core bands.
Awesome playing, their best thrash songs. I'd put four horsemen here, first riff is hard for me
Thanks and I agree! Four horsemen should have been here as well 👌👌
Hardest TestAment songs next please. Eric Peterson is a monster player will killer technique!
what tuning you in? amazing work buddy !!
E standard 🤘
Great Riffing 🤟, what guitar pick are you using ?
Master of puppets destroys my forearm everytime
Hé Karri, great video. Maybe Maybe at the end of this year? :)
Heh everything is possible with practice 😎🤘
Right hand game on point!! MT Powerkit for drums?
Thanks and yeah 💪🤘

When James is playing DH with one hand and drinking tea, with pointed little finger, with his other hand ;)
dude!
As James put it, practice like you are going to compete for the Olympic.
Great great selection...I'm assuming it's not All down picked ?? Hyvin tehty !! 💘 🎸🎧🎼🎵🎶
I tried to down pick all downpicking riffs, but they have of course some alt picking like in Dyers eve and Fight fire with fire 💪
@@KarriHanninen Are ALL JH rhythms down picked ?? Puppets? Blackened? Battery? Damage Inc? It seems almost impossible that ALL of the songs on the entire album M.O.P. are down picked as JH himself says ??
the first one seems to be the absolute toughest
Siinä tuliki sit olennaisimmat:D
Imagine being in a band with this fellow. It would be hard cause he's so good you would feel like you had to push yourself to even be worthy
James Hetfield is the Gold Standard all are measured against.
you killed it. i just need a little bit more umph with your guitar tone.
It means a lot that you subscribed to my channel. Thank you so much. The Divine Skeptic your metal is amazing!!!! Dr Chonk Metal Shredder👹U R Dude
RIP. Right hand ..
HOLY F***!!! I'm gonna try..... 😮😮
I just re learned parts of Call of Cthulhu. Still working on it though. Well done
Im sure you can nail it if you keep working on it 😉🤘
What brand is the guitar..love the headstock and color
Raato 🤘🤘
Papa Het is 1 and only 🤘
Piece of cake
