    Riffs written (and played) by James Hetfield. And some lead stuff/melodies.

    There is a lot of compilations with Kirk Hammet, Dave Mustaine, Jason or Cliff. But to my surprise I didn’t find any of James Hetfield when I searched for: ”Metallica riffs written by James Hetfield”. So here it is 🤘
    It only showed results with everyone else that has ever been in Metallica. But not JAMES HETFIELD himself? 😏 (At least not for me)
    Anyway, this is only some of James guitar stuff, and only from 3 albums. He has written a lot more then this! Let me know if any of it is not his stuff. (But most of it is on James riff tapes!)
    Or just enjoy the MASTER and his playing 🎸🤘

      Kinda the opposite man, Hetfield IS a downpicking god, and the best frontman, but Lars is the mastermind, and main responsible for pretty much every song arrangement in 'tallica.

      Maybe, but now I checked with the app ”Moises” and it says ”D”!? It sounds more downtuned, but this app just never got it it wrong for me before. And I have no instrument now so I can check for sure.

      Well you would think… But not if you actually search for ”metallica riffs written by james hetfield”! 😉 My video is already #1 on this, probably because there was not ”millions” of compilations like this if you search for that… For me: (in ”incognito”)
      #2 ”Metallica riffs NOT written by James Hetfield” (#1 before mine)
      #3 ”Riff Precision 99,8% - James Hetfield was NOT human” (This one is very short and its only about his playing, not who wrote the riffs)
      #4 ”10 Metallica riffs NOT written by James Hetfield”
      #5 ”32 Metallica Riffs NOT written by Hetfield”
      I scrolled down 20 videos and not a single one was about ”Riffs written by Hetfield”. (Until now)
