    In this guitar lesson I will demonstrate how to play the epic intro to "Creeping Death" by Metallica.
    Now I don't plan on only teaching this part of the song. I will definitely be finishing the whole thing note-for-note. I just always gauge which songs to finish first based of the support they get. So if you wanna see the rest of these lessons let me know!
    The song starts with some epic metal stylings creating a huge a suspenseful sound. Over that part we have some harmony guitar lines start to "creep" in. Hehe...
    I will show you the bottom harmony part in this video lesson. From there we will play a short power chord sequence that sets up the main rapid down picked riff of the song.
    Performing this main riff is no easy feat. James Hetfield has always been known as having perhaps the greatest picking hand in all of metal. At least when it comes to fast and tight muted down stokes, which are a staple of most forms of metal guitar.
    Achieving the speed required to perform this riff up to speed can be quite the challenge. One good thing though is that the riff has and ending that consists of a little legato lick played in the left hand. As short as that little legato lick is, it gives your picking hand a decent enough amount of time to recover before having to perform the fast downstrokes again.
    It's amazing how such a quick little picking pause can completely change how challenging the riff is to play. The hardest aspect of this fast down stroked muted style found in most metal is when you have to continue to play it for an extended period of time. It is a lot easier to keep your technique together in short bursts.
    James Hetfield has one of those right hands that would allow him to probably play this riff for 3 hours straight. The reason he can do that is because he keeps his picking hand extremely relaxed. That is the key to mastering this style of rhythm.
    So have fun with this intro and I hope to be back here soon to finish the entire song for ya! :)
    Carl..

    here's a tip from Hetfield for anyone trying to play this song:
    Try practicing the riff as fast as you can for a few days, doesn't have to sound like it does on the song it jus has to be 2x faster. If you do that and go back to the original speed it'll seem alot slower and easier.

    A small thing which I noticed while listening to the song -
    The Plam mute sounds like the note slightly higher than E but lower than F. It is this thing which gives it the Egyptian or the Phrygian Tone feel. In the intro.
    Probably the muting is slightly down the bridge.

    Could you please help us figure out exactly what they're doing on the riff that starts at 4:17? You play this four times in a row:
    00(G) 00(G) 00222222
    However, if you listen carefully to the CD, you can hear that they do something slightly different the second time. It's something like this:
    00(G) 00(G) 00222223
    I can't figure it out, however. Also, I suppose it could be an overdub.
    Thank you for your consideration.
