@@muhammadirsyazman8389 Actually He doesn't. Nobody in Metallica ever did except Cliff Burton. Which is a weird I admit, but this is raw truth about these guys.
Remember. These riffs are being written. The reason it’s easy to learn is because you know how it’s meant to sound. The riff is like 5 minutes old at this point. It’s not like Kirk can listen to the recording to get the feel for it.
@MetConcerts100: If the tables were turned, there's NO way James is able to play ANY of Kirk's solos...not even if Kirk took the time to walk him through it!
When you're stuck and everybody is looking at you to get it right, you're NOT going to get it right. Add shyness to the mix and you have this. I've had moments like this during presentations.
+Ceyda Charming Oh god, been there. I always try to have my s**t nailed down before we ever rehearse for this very reason. I'm not much of an improv guy, I have loads of respect for people that can do that.
Of course, right. And in order to be good, you have to do metal, right?.....besides Kiss, I doubt there could be another american band which lasted 40 years non stop of fame. And even Kiss suffered multiple members changes. If Cliff Burton didn't died, the band will probably still have its original formation. And if Mustain would not have been kicked out, probably they all will be dead by now. The reason he got kicked out was because he almost killed all the band while driving totally drunk and crashing the van on the road.
I mean you shouldn't feel bad man it's not like you can pick up the guitar and play nothing else matters without alot of practise I'm trying to learn nothing else matters right now and I'm doing pretty well but I did get stuck on some parts and after a day I got it and i keep doing better so dont give up man and keep doing what you are doing.(Note that I'm 15 lmao) have a nice day.
@@Feeeeb Yeah I'll second that. Because there aren't many notes people think it's an easy one but the rythmic signature and the "notes in between" can fuck with you.
I feel for Kirk. Learning riffs like that drive me absolutely nuts. It's one thing to know the notes being played, it's another thing when you're having to pick it correctly and in time
It sucks in ways but I also love it in ways. As a teacher and student. Makes you really feel like you're musicians. Imo. Or watching your band play and learning the song while they play it. I enjoyed it. It's when someone forgets their parts and you have to research or relearn. That's excruciating
This is awfully comforting and reassuring to see (as a guitarist and bassist myself) - To know that even the best of the best sometimes struggle when trying to grasp something new, or have their "off" days. We're all only Human after all! \m/
@@shiramizrachi5838 I mean he plays the rhythm section just as James but also the solo so he should be pretty much used to it. Nonetheless we all sometimes make mistakes and that's perfectly fine
I don't know but I do know what it's like to go through this kinda thing I am no great guitar player by any means but this was painful to watch because it's so easy for you to look and be like "oh yeah I can totally do this I know I can" but then your hands are like "oh I get it you want me to do the James brown here right?" and before you know it your fingers are MC Hammering all over the damn place wrong strings, wrong frets so you slow it down and you find cooperation so you practice a bit and you're thinking to yourself okay half speed is nailed let's take this back up no but nope your fingers still won't have any of it but the relief you feel when you rejoice in the moment your fingers and hands snap right into position and play it correctly because you've developed the muscle memory is a great feeling
@@TheDarkEthereal Thing is though this riff is super simple and any intermediate player could easily pick this riff up in a matter of minutes. So everything you mentioned is irrelevant really.
@@misterniceshoes2888 I’ve played professionally and though I would agree it isn’t a hard riff, the in between notes is what he said were getting him which is understandable due to them changing pattern a little but yes I would agree. No I’m no Van Halen nor claim to be
I love this, he can match James on songs like dyers eve and battery but this he struggles with. I suppose it is quite a silly riff with odd changes that throw off guitarists who are trying to play it for the first time, pretty hilarious but this is just a good representation of human error.
I recently listened to BMTH's There is a Hell and it's so fucking So much different changes, really impossible to keep up even after a second listen-through
lucky dominguez I'm sure guitar tabs have been around for a long time. Sometimes I need them play things more accurately if I can't figure out certain notes. Sometimes I learn by ear.
Its funny how people judge metallica on 2 minutes of practice video, "Hey kirk sucks he cant play anything.....he needs wah wah" ummmm yea honestly if your all so amazing why you commenting on RUclips, not touring the world? Its funny how people who don't even know kirk and will never meet him can be so jealous, funny and pathetic
Add these 2 minutes to the countless hours of Kirk's and Lars' amateurish playing. Fails after fails. They got lucky to be attached to the Metallica name in the 80's. Now Metallica got stuck with them for decades now. "Metallica isn't Metallica without them"... Yeah no shit, but Metallica would be a better band with better musicians
For anyone who has been in a band and has written original music - *this is not uncommon.* If you do not have a groove or anything to work off, remember that the riff is only in the mind of the writer. So, the timing could be the confusing issue and if you overthink it, you will cause yourself to fuck it up. It can even happen with simple 4 chord songs with a simple embellishment for the accent. I don't know how many times I have said "Wait, so it does that 1 time or 2 times? Ohhh, the second times is different, and the third time it is the same." Or something like that.
Totally agree. I used to play rhythm guitar in a band where the lead guitarist was insanely talented, one of a kind shredder and yet he could not record a simple clean arpeggio using a D chord with the sus4 pinky note. The timing was tricky. We (the band) actually had to step out of the room so he could lay down the part
Kirk can't play triplets on rhythm guitar for shit lol. Many metalcore, and progressive metal bands do triplets all the time. Kirk is old school so I get this type of playing doesn't come easy to him
+axsylum17 its a snareless sanre. It wasn't tuned different Lars took the snare chains off the bottom so it wouldn't crack, without the chains it goes PING! PING!
Nice to see that EVEN the best ones get stuck once in a while! LOL Kudos to Kirk, I think he's one of the coolest guitar players ever! Always so cool on any comments he's done on air that shows how humble he really is!
Everyone needs to shut up. Every guitarist has had that day where you can't play shit right and you're just like AHHH. Kirk Hammett is one of the best guitarists of all time and he's given us amazing riffs and solos. He couldn't play one riff and they decided to record it, big deal. You guys don't comment this shit when he's rocking the one solo live.
The music that they played in the 80s rocks, but the music that they have written since rocks as well. They are held to such a high standard that was set by themselves. If any other band were to produce even one album that Metallica has, they would be huge.
Probably, maybe he just was asked to play that on the spot and never had a chance to practice beforehand, which caught him offguard. Kirk played some of the most memorable lead guitar in metal music, and I will always respect him for that. He(alongside the other guys) made Metallica what it is.
I admit he says "YEAH!!!" alot haha but he can sing well too, He has good tone,stays on pitch,has good control, and alot of power...he is a great vocalist
i love videos like this because it shows that these guys are still just like the rest of us, fans of great music still just jamming in a garage trying to make it happen, even though theyre in a studio and they already made it happen haha
I always thought that Metallica handled themselves professionally, writing the music and reading the corresponding sheet music, but I see that they handle themselves like me with my rock group in adolescence ..

"Yeah but ya know? Kirk is a shredder...all this lame riffs are too lame for him he wants to shred!...". And then St. (shit) Anger came out. No even a single guitar solo. LOOOOOL
U can even see Kirk go a bit red he’s always had that inner child. I hate how Lars is looking at him that’s his bro. He obviously just had never played something like that. I love James so much but Kirk is overrall a better player. Then again who could imagine to sing and play riffs like James. Hell I don’t think James has not played a riff to perfection live. There all amazing I just wish it wasn’t always just James supporting Kirk it’s like Lars gets jealous just let them chill and jam and learn the riff together. All starring at him like he’s gotta do it right there and now.
i've played enough music to know that musicians deserve every right to negotiate what they play. if they can't feel it, they can't really do it. sometimes you need to listen a few times to attain clarity on a piece, and sometimes it takes more. it's really beautiful how people can explain music to one another through example and otherwise.
I love that they try to show him playing the riff at the end like YEAH HE NAILED IT..... but hes just playing open chords and like quarter notes and avoiding all the complexity of the original riff
panterask8r14 too bad hes always been a huge flute sucker just like the whole overrated band, 80's was era when great metal was made and metallica wasn't one making it.
5/6 years ago I would laugh at this but now I understand what he was going through. Thing is, when you start recording for studios as a session player or as a bandmate it’s hard to understand another person’s idea and implement it as your own. You’re basically trying to recreate sth that’s not yours. It’s a lot of pressure and it can be easier on some days but sometimes you really have to dig deep into it in order to actually play it even if it’s sth as simple as this.

So nice of James Hetfield to let a fan visit him in the studio for a day!
I think in the end, Hammet still didnt get it. They had to remove the "notes in between".
True. Its disappointing. Its not even a tough part tbh, I'm basically a beginner and I can play it.
No he got it. The bit at the end is a different part of the song.

When you got how to perfectly perform that riff it feels like heaven tho.
kirks just trolling to delay the album and hope they change their minds
I don't see how learning a riff he hasn't played before is so wrong?
its the internet everyone here perfectly picks up a song after 10 minutes of practice.. if you cant you should just quit.
It’s sad but true Kirk is still unforgiven about this 😔
Death is creeping on him.
I see what you did there lmfao
I struggled too for a minute, somehow didn't realize that those are simply triplets.
It's the unnecessary notes that are fucking with him.
I’ve been in a band before it’s hard when someone writes a riff and wants you to master it so you can play the song in 5 minutes.
That’s why jamez simplified this riff
i love videos like this because it shows that these guys are still just like the rest of us, fans of great music still just jamming in a garage trying to make it happen, even though theyre in a studio and they already made it happen haha

U can even see Kirk go a bit red he’s always had that inner child. I hate how Lars is looking at him that’s his bro. He obviously just had never played something like that. I love James so much but Kirk is overrall a better player. Then again who could imagine to sing and play riffs like James. Hell I don’t think James has not played a riff to perfection live. There all amazing I just wish it wasn’t always just James supporting Kirk it’s like Lars gets jealous just let them chill and jam and learn the riff together. All starring at him like he’s gotta do it right there and now.
I was never a fan of Metallica, but I'll at least say this for them. You can't confuse them with any other band.
1:53 best part
Kirk: can't we just use wah here to cover my mistakes like usual?
i've played enough music to know that musicians deserve every right to negotiate what they play. if they can't feel it, they can't really do it. sometimes you need to listen a few times to attain clarity on a piece, and sometimes it takes more. it's really beautiful how people can explain music to one another through example and otherwise.
Idc who you are there is always a riff that throws you a curveball.
I remember those days.
Why is Bob Rock holding a guitar? There is literally no reason for him to be anywhere near a guitar.
he played bass on st. anger
I'm sorry to hear that.
Steve McCord Not as much as I am when I listen the album :D
Steve McCord What an awesome answer bro!
because bob play guitar in the album, not hammet, hammet din^t play guitar well
"He's slowly learnings how to unplays the guitar"
Guitars ams a fickles mistress
Oh my god a perfect representation of this…
I love that they try to show him playing the riff at the end like YEAH HE NAILED IT..... but hes just playing open chords and like quarter notes and avoiding all the complexity of the original riff
0:21 everytime I play with my baby sister be like.
I think Kirk is a good guitarist but this riff is so easy.
We all have those days...Where you can't play the simplest riffs lol
just show's he's human xD
Happens to the best of us every now and then.
panterask8r14 too bad hes always been a huge flute sucker just like the whole overrated band, 80's was era when great metal was made and metallica wasn't one making it.
Jop3lius
troll.
nelson gibson yes that word does describe hammets guitar skills best
lars and james are like "fuck, we should've never kicked out dave"
I think Dave would've quit if he'd did St. Anger lol
5/6 years ago I would laugh at this but now I understand what he was going through. Thing is, when you start recording for studios as a session player or as a bandmate it’s hard to understand another person’s idea and implement it as your own. You’re basically trying to recreate sth that’s not yours. It’s a lot of pressure and it can be easier on some days but sometimes you really have to dig deep into it in order to actually play it even if it’s sth as simple as this.
