    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.

    "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 ;)

    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

  • @paulallenscard8553
    @paulallenscard8553 9 лет назад +4

    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.

    • @Warlock73

  • @DRTyD
    @DRTyD 2 года назад

    Great job! I love this solo! I can't play it myself as a beginner, so can't comment on it's difficulty (nearly everything looks hard), but it's really not about that for me. This is a great example of why I love Hammett's writing. So much mood and melody; it's so memorable that is sticks in your head note for note, and that to me is what really makes a great solo. It compliments the song perfectly.

    • @nateryan1
      @nateryan1 9 лет назад

      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

    Chris THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this videos!
    However one question I also trust to the lessons of Carl brown and I saw lots of differences in the way he teaches this solo any comments on that?So who is right and who is wrong so to speak?

  • @jamesmoore3879
    @jamesmoore3879 9 лет назад

    I'd like it if you could do more to help transition in between the sections. I have no idea how I'm supposed to make the jump from section 2 to section 3, and the original track goes so quickly it's really difficult to listen for. Playing with a metronome might help too on the slower parts, there are parts where you seem to freeze on some notes. I'm guessing that's intentional, maybe for emphasis, but it's hard for me to really get an idea for the actual duration of each note

    I've been studying this video and a similar tab on the tab pro app religiously. I thought I had it down, so I tried playing along with the song. It sounded like something was off. Some sections in this video are wrong in comparison to the studio album. It sounds good the way you play it but when you play your tabs vs the actual song, there's a lot of notes and weird timings in the original that didn't make any sense.............. Until I looked at the writing credits.
