  • Hello people! I'm a guitar player from Romania and a huge Metallica nerd. In this video I'll be playing the hardest guitar riff from each album, trying to recreate the guitar tone as well as possible and explaining what is particularly difficult about each one of them. For people offended about the St.Anger and Lulu joke in the video please keep in mind that it was all just for comedic purpose. I actually enjoy St.Anger every once in a while and I know Lulu is not a Metallica album and it just features Metallica. Enjoy the video friends!
    I do not own the rights to any of the songs.

    I swear Creeping Death is the easiest riff on Lightning, idk if it’s because I never had trouble with downpicking or the fact that you don’t really need to move your left hand much. But I’d say the spider riff on Ride The Lightning is the hardest. It’s so awkward.

    Thorn Within has a underrated (not difficult) riff

Plus the guitar parts are great too but, personally I think frantic is the hardest song off the album. I didn't really have much trouble with all within my hands.

      This riff is not THAT challenging, it's about 7.5/10 as far as Metallica riff difficulty goes. What's really hard to sing over while keeping time is Fight Fire With Fire, as the entire main riff is super fast AND syncopated (off-beat). Remember that when playing live and singing, James often skips notes, economy-picks and alternate-picks entire parts of the song. Actually, Kirk is not credited enough for almost always playing the full riffs while James is singing.
      Another one that's kinda tricky to play and sing is Eye of The Beholder - same reason, the chorus riff is syncopated.

I still would naturally catch myself doing it on some fast mutes or gallops for a while after I stopped regularly strumming like that, but at this point I’ve washed it out of my muscle memory, all together. I think his secret is he holds his pick perpendicular to the strings, so his fingers aren’t really coming in contact with the strings. I read an interview a long time ago where he explained why he picks so uniquely. He said it all stems from how he holds pens; with his thumb, index and middle finger.

    Black Album: "Through the never". That is pretty hard to play tight. At least I recall my forarm being pretty pumped up on that song, especially when playing backing riff for Kirk's solo. But maybe it was because I had already played 4½ albums before that 🤣
    When I started to play guitar a thousand years ago, my first tablature book was MoP. That was also the first song I learnt to play completely, without Kirk's fast solo. I just practised and practised, usually 6-8 hours a day. I was 15 years old...almost 16 atm. Then about year later I played all five of their CD's in a row. I never learnt all songs completely, but most of them and many of the solos too...and at least some part from every song. Of course I wasn't that good at first, but maybe 6 months later I was actually pretty good already, and most people didn't believe that I had only played about 18 months. Well, it was only 18 months, but I still had more practise time, than most of the guys, who had played 3-4 even 5 years.

    What I found when I was re-recording St. Anger, was that the hardest riff to get right on the album was the intro build-up of St. Anger. I'm sure you know from recording this video, saying you can play the riff is easy, recording it is hard. Having to make sure you're palm-muting in the right spot, lifting off to accent the notes at the right time, hitting every single downpick because if you miss one, it's over. None of the riffs on the album were hard, but playing some of them perfectly was. :P

    My take on this
    Kill Em All: Jump in the Fire, main riff
    Don't know what it is about this one but it always makes me cramp up by the end of the song so stamina wise it's tough for me
    RTL: Creeping Death, main riff
    Yeah if you're downpicking this thing the whole way, mad respect.
    MOP: Disposable Heroes, main riff
    Lot of tough riffs on MOP but the downpicking rhythm in Disposable is a pain in the ass (or wrist)
    AJFA: Blackned, main riff
    I actually find Dyers Eve to be pretty easy (aside from the solo) Blackned on the other hand is probably the most difficult Tallica' riff for me
    Black Album: Nothing Else Matters, the whole thing
    It's true that the Black Album doesn't have the most complex riffs but in terms of songs, Nothing is easily the hardest
    Load/Reload: idk/Where the Wild Things Are, again the whole song
    Nothing hard off Load but Where the Wild Things Are is something else imo (Unforgiven II gets an honourable mention)
    Stanger: Title Track, main riff
    The timing on this one is always a problem for me, could probably get it down with more practice
    Death Magnetic: That Was Just Your Life, main riff
    For added challenge try singing while you play this riff :)
    HWTSD: Moth Into Flame, main riff
    Again difficult timing.
