      guess me playing it chord-style all these years makes me either level -1 or 7... i always octaved the open e and g strings to sound fuller. then i got a 12 string and it sounds like i'm playing four guitars at the same time. still find it hard to believe that james plays it with that fingering, but i checked and it's really true.

      Idk, I see a lot of players not play the open D string with the fretted and slightly bent D on the 5th string. It makes the riff to me because of the tension of the slightly bent note ringing with the stationary open string sounds cool. I can't see there being six levels to the riff though!

    Level 7 is playing levels 1-6 on a 7 string by fretting the 5th fret on the low B.
    Level 8 is playing levels 1-7 with hybrid picking.
    Level 9 is playing levels 1-8 on a fan-fret 9 string tuned to drop E, playing the bass and guitar parts at the same time.

    In the live video you reference it looks to me as if Hetfield does indeed occasionally hit the open G if you watch his right hand. Also later in the song he also plays it down at the first two frets. So thanks for all this analysis. I think its all 'valid'.

  • @alasdairmcgough
    @alasdairmcgough 6 лет назад

    Could be wrong, but the reason James plays it the way he does is all about conservation of energy - it allows you to play everything much faster by positioning your fingers like this, and, because so much of his music is played at breakneck, he is simply used to finger positions that lead to quicker access to other parts of the fretboard. In essence, it’s the same principal as the spider chord. So James plays it this way because of Dave Mustaine...

  • @muruganmadurai8129
    @muruganmadurai8129 4 года назад

    I just started learning this and I heard the ringing G but the open G didn't sound right on my guitar so I tried it down lower but that isn't how Hetfield plays it. I noticed Hetfield doesn't move his finger on the G and E and I tried that but then I somehow played the level 6 you show here by accident and that's the best sound.
