Guys! Don’t get discouraged, everyone starts somewhere, I was self taught and Carl took me the rest of the way, I can honestly say he has been my teacher and that I enjoy playing guitar, weather is jimmy or Dimebag he truly takes u every step of the way.
Don't get me wrong, I love Mustaine, Megadeth, Metallica, all that jazz, but talking about teenager genius, have you heard of Jason Becker? Go check him out dude his is amazing,
Never was a fan of Metallica let alone Heavy Metal until I heard this song. This is where it all started for me and found a big love for heavy metal and playing it on my first electric, super fun and a super great time following along with this man right here!
I remember starting my guitar journey with carl on Welcome Home Sanitarium, Its been about 3ish years and I hadnt played my guitar a lot during those times up until about four months ago and I came back harder than ever and Im learning so many new things, I even got my downpicking up to tempo with master of puppets. Thank you Carl, you helped me start and now your helping me keep going. :)
Hey Carl, love your videos man, keep it up ;) On a side note, the low E riff at 8:15 I think you are making it way too complex than it is. I find that a simple 0---0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0 sounds much closer to the recording. A basic low E followed by repetition of 0-0-0-0-0(12345)
Yeah, I was confused about this all night. He’s got the notes right, but the 8th notes are swung, which gives the pattern you mention. He’s just not swinging them (which results in a totally different, and much more difficult, riff)
True, I was wondering if anyone would mention. Do you know if Hetfield actually downpicks all those 5 strokes? (I do the first down, and the first of the group of five down but then alternate)
@@geompon6505 Nope, I don't think he downpicks that. It wouldn't sound right. On a side note, ppl who don't play guitar or the trolls, like to exaggerate his downpicking. For sure there's a lot of downpicking in Metallica, but almost all fast songs except Master of Puppets include plenty of alternate picking. Battery, Damage inc, Dyer's eve, Fight fire with fire, Whiplash, Metal militia etc etc all include heavy alternate pickings.
@@kadji3033 Thanks for your quick reply. I was buffled cause I can clearly hear alternate picking on many riffs (I mean the triples cannot sound better but with alternate) and I even watched a video titled "James Hetfield downpicking" and there was clearly alternate picking (ie on That was just your life). I ve been practicing downpicking for the last 2 years and I ve reached a pretty decent speed (not endurance though) and thinking that I should reach a speed where the triplets had to be downpicked as well was outrageous. I did found a death metal guitarist though (a bodybuilder) that downstrokes up to 290bpm! THough impressive it gets that fast that it s almost indistiguinshable from tremolo picking.
@@geompon6505 Im sure there are nuts out there who can downpick everything, but it just wouldn't sound right. That was just your life is the basic triple with alternate picking. For example I find it atrocious when people alternate pick MoP, but other songs its just natural to alternate pick it, and also they were written like that. Just as MoP sounds bad with alternate picking, That was just your life would sound bad to downpick it imo.
i ve waited for this video for so long. i remember when i started looking for alternative tutorials my wife was pregnant first trimester with our third child. now my son is almost one y o and i can finally practice without headphones.
@@jansanchez879 it be like that. I've learned so many songs I have like the slightest memories of how to play them but they help with techniques for my own songs lol. I still know every van halen song, I will never forget those 😂
"Now where gunna Play,let me play that cool riff again" 🤣🤣🤣🤣, you crack me up sometimes carl, thanks 4 this song its annoyed me for weeks trying to get it perfect and now i can play it right, cheers carl🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Ur a great person, and keep up the great tutorials I was just learning a sing a few min ago from u. I’d prefer u than any other person that gives tutorials on songs
1:17 intro 1:52 main intro riff (after intro) 4:48 main riff 6:34 chorus 8:16 horse galloping riff 10:01 transition 11:37 intro to bridge section 13:06, the main bridge riff 13:41 The second blues lick 14:23 sweet home Alabama/badass riff I hope this helps 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Hey carl I really enjoy your lessons, you've taught me about every song I know and with all that I've been able to write my own songs. Anyways thanks man if it wasn't for your channel I probably wouldn't even be playing guitar
Hi Carl! Could you do a lesson for any of these: -Motorbreath -Jump in the fire -Whiplash -Phantomlord -No Remorse -Metal Militia -Eye Of The Beholder -Frayed Ends Of Sanity -Dyers Eve -Don't Tread On Me -The God That Failed -The Struggle Within -Until It Sleeps -King Nothing -Hero Of The Day -The Memory Remains -Unforgiven II -That Was Just Your Life By Metallica, -A Tout Le Monde -Tornado Of Souls By Megadeth -White Room By Cream Thanks for your perfect lesson videos! Greetings from Hungary! Bence
Just left the guitarschool building.... What a bunch of crapp compared to your lessons. View each week a new lesson, i will be busy the next couple of years 😂. Thanks for your awesome videos 🤘. Cheers 🍻
HELL YEAH!!! You rock man!!! Thanks so much! Keep up the fantastic playing! I'm a huge fan of Metallica, and you just made my day again! Thanks so much! Great teacher !!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Thank you, Carl, thank you so much. I hope, someday, you do a Call of Ktulu lesson to complete the 3 Metallica's big instrumental songs. But, even when is not a Metallica song, you choose great Songs to teach. Keep doing your great job
Freakin really?? 5 people thumbs down? Are you kidding me! Well maybe the 4 horsemen will show up at your door soon to take you on the ride of a lifetime, SMH some people! This is a classic metal song! Great lesson Carl thanks bro!
@@band77one Someone doesn't like how he plays the entire song yet breaks it all down perfectly so we can learn. Good reason to downvote a whole video. Whomever did that is 100% jealous that they couldn't hack any part of it.
@@band77one I attempted to word this next phrase nicely in my previous response.. "Who gives a flying fuck" its a tutorial on how to play the song not to show off how well he can play it.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial, I made a comment on your Instagram requesting for it, I don't know whether or not you saw the comment, either way, thank you so much!
So, as I’m envisioning what you’re saying, for it to be easier that way - for me anyway - is for it to be upstroke, downstroke x2. Because, to me anyway, alternating upstroke, downstroke, upstroke seems like it would be harder. I always struggled to play that triplet at full speed using downstroke x3. We’d either slow it down a bit or do a doublet instead of the triplet

Yep..just takes practice..its absofukinlutly satisfying learnin guitar..☠☠☠
@@metalmisfit5329 With that mentality, you'll never go further beyond in learning guitar.
@@LucasTheUltimate your wrong hater
Im self taught and i have to say i play decent
Imagine that a teenager wrote this riff. Mustaine was a genius.
well done, thats a very good point!!
Ik right..they fukin ruled the world the first 4 albums..Metallica has the badest riffs..i will always love them
@@metalmisfit5329 Sabbath has the best riffs, you mean. 😉
He still is
Don't get me wrong, I love Mustaine, Megadeth, Metallica, all that jazz, but talking about teenager genius, have you heard of Jason Becker?
Go check him out dude his is amazing,
Ive always wanted to play guitar but the beginning seemed so slow and frustrating
Evil Westbrook oh no that's the middle part not the beginning
but now with yousician it makes it so much easier
LOL!
Evil Westbrook dude fuck yousician
The joke just flew over everyone's head

Carl brown always comes in clutch when u cant find good tabs, the man did a lesson on the whole painkiller song, what a legend
Change the playback speed to 1.25x and he's doing a lesson of Megadeth's Mechanix, lol
Mechanix is sloppy with crap lyrics.
Lord Of Onions how the fuck are they magical
Lol
@Lord Of Onions lyrics are funny, but overall the song is garbage compared to the four Horsemen honestly. Speed doesn't mean better.
Imma have to go with the four horsemen on this one.
Awesome lesson. The interlude "sweet home alabama part" is my favorite part of the song.
Makes my head want to explode. Much respect. There’s a reason why old Metallica is my fav of all time.
Hit the lights!
Pasxalis Antoniou Solo lesson of Hit the lights would be nice.
Ivan Budimir and that too!
Sick song 🤟🏻🔥
No life till leather
how cool that you can see this in this day and age. We only had tabs before the internet in the 80's

Tip: The riff that starts with a triplet 0-0-0 and then E5 D5 D5, is much easier if you start with an upstroke on the E string.
So, as I’m envisioning what you’re saying, for it to be easier that way - for me anyway - is for it to be upstroke, downstroke x2. Because, to me anyway, alternating upstroke, downstroke, upstroke seems like it would be harder.
I always struggled to play that triplet at full speed using downstroke x3. We’d either slow it down a bit or do a doublet instead of the triplet
