In this Sad But True guitar lesson video I will demonstrate how to play the main riff to this killer slow grooving song by Metallica.
When it comes to Metallica's sound and style, "Sad But True" was a big departure. First off, Metallica usually tunes to standard tuning most of the time and are a lot more well known for their lightning fast thrash riffs than for slow power grooves.
However, with "Sad But True" they decided to break the mold and did so with outstanding results. Personally, this main riff to "Sad But True" is probably my all-time favorite Metallica riff. The groove is just simply infectious.
The tuning that Metallica employs in "Sad But True" is called D standard. What that tuning calls for is for you to tune every string on your guitar down one whole step. So the tuning will now be D G C F A D. This low tuning is a huge aspect in creating the deep grooving sound of "Sad But True".
The riff itself uses a combination of thick palm muted power chords and open string pull-offs. It is actually rather simple to play once you get it under your fingers. The most important aspect in mastering this riff is to make sure you lock into the groove. The feel of the riff is just as important as the notes, especially with a slow power groove feel like "Sad But True" has.
If you guys want to learn the rest of the song please let me know by making sure this video gets 600 "likes" on RUclips. After it hits that goal I will be back here teaching the entire song, solos included!
So I will see you guys back here very soon I hope teaching the full song. Until then I hope you enjoy playing this killer power groove riff from the one and only Metallica!

600 Likes from me here, now WHOLE SONG!
Over the last two years I've wanted to play guitar so badly, I've had no teachers, I've taught myself how to read music and with your video's I've gotten way further than I ever though would be possible. So thank you !
And you were only asking for 600. Great job man, love your channel!
"The day that never come"
by Metallica
Could you please help us out on this tutorial??
Thanks
If I may be so bold, I think you need to be grooving out a little more to really sell that riff properly. There's something about laying into the strings more and banging your head with it that makes it somehow sound more "metallica". I swear to god it's true, try it!
Also, your execution and technique are fantastic, don't get me wrong. Good tone too. I also didn't know this was in D standard! I thought it was in D. Thanks for the rad video, keep it up!
I really don't see the point in changing the tuning because I played it in standard just fine without the drop D and the half step all the way down. and besides your only using the top 3 for the main riff
Hey, could you please tell how do you get this specific Metallica distortion? )
Please do So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold

Where solo man
That intro part I can play , it's just the verse parts I want to learn. I can't read music and basically learnt some Metallica songs by ear , like enter Sandman and wherever I may roam.. however, the verse part in sad but true I would like a better in depth example of how the verse goes. I learned tabliture , but never had a tab for sad but true
Whenever I wanna learn a new riff your channel is where I go to look for it!!! Love these videos man you’re a hero!
what do you mean by the strings becoming different letters
im not even practicing guitar i just wanted to see what the riff actually looks like when it’s being played and i am absolutely mesmerized
This really needs to get 600 likes i wanna learn the whole thing and i watch your videos to learn cause you know how to teach
8 years later dude.....12 thousand likes.... I've just got my hands on my first dean and this shred tone is a dream come true....first song to nail down had to be this one
Why does everyone I see giving lesson always look like they're not play with their finger tips?
Cuz they're using a pick

Can you please do rattlesnake shake by Motley Crue?
Can you make a tutorial for Frayed ends of sanity?!

One of the first guitar videos I watched when I started playing a little over a year ago! I played this riff over and over so many times 😂 remembered the song a couple days ago and decided to learn the rest of it, thank you Carl for your amazing videos I've learned most of what I know from you and a year ago I wouldn't think there was any way in a hell I could play this whole song. Seriously appreciate all the effort you put in these videos, much love!
I've been about less than a week into guitar and i know some few but easy songs, do you think i can already try playing this riff? i need some advice for someone who knows more than me about this ahaha
600 likes
No it's 11 thousand
Drop whole guitar down to D Standard. Also, adjust your intonation. Because everybody forgets that and things sound like dumpster fire as you move up the neck.
I payed for lessons where my teacher only told me it was drop D. 20 years later... I got it! Thanks to you buddy so THANKS!
Oh hell yeah!! We’re about to melt someone’s face off with this one! 😱🔥
Pain to tune and retune but worth it, totally worth it
That's why you save your pennies and have 3 or 4 guitars
Thanks, this is a fun song to play.
600 likes...
How about 600 THOUSAND likes??
Party on Wayne!! Party on Garth!!

I thought this was played in drop D?
I though Sad But True was in drop B?
Can you make a tutorial lesson of harem scarem title is there was a time 🔥
1000's Like was mine :-D
I love the staccato-ish (second- and third-played) D5s each time thru THE RIFF... ending the ringing strings with the remaining L.H. fingers. You kinda do a hybrid at least, employing P.M. and some muting of the strings w/ the left hand. Most folks seem to just classically palm mute.
Let’s get 600 likes
Gets 6.8k instead
I'm new to guitar, but doesn't Metallica play this in standard E? Why change the tuning?
d standard… completely different sound is why
Carl your a bad man! This Riff is like a Jugernaut Unleashed-I'll be playing this one in a mixmash w Into the Void...

Snapped my high E string down tuning. I’m off to a great start😂
