    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 ;)

    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!

    • @hrafnpersson5533
      @hrafnpersson5533 10 лет назад

      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.

      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.

  • @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.

    @MrBelmontcain 10 лет назад +1

    thanks for this! i had parts of this solo wrong for years.I think the official tab book is a little off in spots,but your version is spot on

    • @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

  • @bjwalters8385
    @bjwalters8385 10 лет назад +7
