      @@thorny3218The whole reason why I listen to Metallica but none of the other thrash metal bands is because their music is so well written. It’s very symphonic in nature and pretty much classical music played with guitars. Both S&M concerts prove that. When you listen to those, the San Francisco Symphony fits PERFECTLY and sounds like it was meant to be there. It elevates already amazing music to the next level. I think the S&M version of “Hero of the Day” is my favorite Metallica song and one of the best ever written. It’s a perfect power ballad!

    • @RingsOfSolace
      @RingsOfSolace Год назад +22

      Could be wrong, but it seems like all the strings are making a lot of redundant notes, allowing more freedom to move if you're conscious of which register you're playing in. A lot of the chord shapes they do are the same as in the regular song at many points, just sometimes on different parts of the instrument. Meaning, it seems like just a regular guitar but with more strings. I'm sure with practice the basics could be picked up rather quickly if you know guitar already. Now playing it as well as them is another story entirely lol

    • @melodyisdead503
      @melodyisdead503 Год назад +16

      To me it looks like the bass strings are mostly just tuned in a way that allows you to hit the open and let them ring while playing the main progression. I don’t think there is much more to it unless you are feeling creative and want to do something with lower notes.

      @@sachsenschlachter6401 this guitar has way more versatility than a piano. with 14 strings each of various widths and lengths you can achieve not only 14 completely unique sounds, but each can be played at several different octaves, and the variability of finger positioning allows one to achieve microtones that don't exist on the typical piano unless you intentionally retune it as such. digital pianos don't even stand a chance at replicating that because most software does not support anything outside of the typical chromatic scale. perhaps the only thing this can't do vs a piano is the various control pianos get from their pedals, but deft fingerwork can replicate those effects to some extent.

      It's one of the most, if not the most, brilliant yet NOT AT ALL difficult intros ever. Lots of open notes, which as Joe Satriani said,
      "When you get right down to it, it's always the easiest chords & open note sequences that sound the best versus the overly complex chords & complex note combinations. I always tell new students to the instrument that less is truly more. The guitar is an expressive instrument. You express what your thinking and feeling through it more so than any other instrument. So the best guitarists & true artists of the instrument seek to find the combination of the best sounding intonations, chord and note sequences as well as vibrato and phrasing"
      (The MASTER SENSEI- Joe Satriani 🙂)
      Kirk Hammett mastered that. Most especially his note selection/combinations, picking technique. Remember, there's many who can cover a great solo, but there's a BIG difference between the ONE'S who can "cover" & the ONE who actually composed it originally.
