This a a strong compliment Chris. I have been on youtube doing lessons from every person I could find. You are by far the fastest and cleanest player of anyone on youtube I have ran across. Even the hardest Avenged Sevenfold songs you seem to be almost bored playing them. You have incredible skills. I would wager you are better than a lot of the guitarists that write these songs. MAD SKILLS bro!!!! Any band would be lucky to have you. If I had your skills, I would be interviewing for some big bands if and when the opportunity arose. Keep doing what your doing. You lessons are amazing and have helped me tremendously.
he slows down the recordings to learn these solos by ear. note for note. as well as that he has been a guitar player for over 20 years so he's had enough time to improve his general technique and speed
"one more time with the tabs" Time Markers: Section 1 - 4:05 Section 2 - 9:00 Section 3 - 13:10 Section 4 - 15:51 you know... for those like me who need to jump around a couple of times to memorize this stuff ;)
actually XJ frets decrease the required amount of pressure needed to make sound. if you push too hard you'll end up sharpening the note. in other words, it does not make you have to stretch more.
Thanks for the lesson, Chris! This helped me so much. But after the tapping part inthe beginning, instead of sliding from 8 to 10 on the B string, Kirk taps the 14th fret of the G string.
My salmon pink discount store guitar only has 22 frets and i'm struggling to get my hand down there on that 22 bend, when I get a better guitar im going for 24 frets cause this is ridiculous
Still working on creeping death and I'm glojg to tackle this next. Great explanation and playing mate. You have a knack for teaching this stuff. Thanks a million for taking the time to do this. Peace
I think his version is actually off in some spots. It's a pretty good rendition and it fits the backing track, but there are a few intricacies in the official version that make it easy harder than this version. I'll stick with this though haha
Great videos! You are hands down the best teacher I've come across. I've never been able to just grasp onto the solos the first time, but I watched your Orion videos and got it the first try! Thanks Chris!
Chris I want to thank you because I'm getting alot better thanks to your videos and I couldn't do that without you, keep up the good work, you are awesome :)
Haha Metallica solos are so drawn out and long people loose interest in learning them. Then again there's no need for a long ass solo with 10 diff riffs in it. Keep it simple lol
Hey Chris, how did you manage an endorsement deal with PRS when you don't own one (sorry if in wrong and you do but you never use it on videos if you do)
Thanks really I learned it right now by you I'm really glad now because of this solo that i know Even I learned unforgiven solo by you Thanks again power full man
How do you "pick" with no pick??? Do you shape a fingernail to a point or something? If love to know, I'm always having trouble finding the right shaped/styled pick...
thanks i learned orion solos with you too you're awsome and can you please listen to Revelations by Judas Priest?! you will post a video on it's solo without me asking...

Fk yeah he's awesome..!!
He deserves only STRONG COMPLIMENTS!
Fuck yeah I second that opinion.
And he does all this without a pick...

Eruption Next PLEASE!
Eruption by van halen plz
I'm trying to do this on the Kirk Hammett signature LTD. his guitar has extra jumbo frets so the reach is that much harder. Lol. Ow!
actually XJ frets decrease the required amount of pressure needed to make sound. if you push too hard you'll end up sharpening the note. in other words, it does not make you have to stretch more.
How many people comeback to these multiple times just to hear him play it. I learned so much from you chris thanks for the help.
oh my fucking god! i think this shit will take me forever..
Not at all its technically not challenging!
MIght seems like a dumb question, but where the hell does the pick disapear when you tap O.o lol
he uses his nail
Holy mother of god lol
Haha!!
I used to wonder the same thing, Small Buj, but Chris explains in his guitar shredding & speed video that he uses the nail of his middle finger.
you can use your nail or the pick
Chris .. Honestly you are the BEST freakin guitar teacher hands down! I am playing songs I could only dream of because of you!
Exactly
You deserve a lot more subscribers!
Can you do hit the lights solo by Metallica ?????
goddammit, i love this guy! that was spot on!
Thanks for the lesson, Chris! This helped me so much. But after the tapping part inthe beginning, instead of sliding from 8 to 10 on the B string, Kirk taps the 14th fret of the G string.
Awesome! I was having trouble with that transition.
Thats what I saw in Carl browns lesson in fact it help a lot with transition!
My salmon pink discount store guitar only has 22 frets and i'm struggling to get my hand down there on that 22 bend, when I get a better guitar im going for 24 frets cause this is ridiculous
+NeepThePeep I feel ya man. I'm playing my 22 fret tele right now. My next guitar must have 24 frets lol.
