MetallicA - Fade To Black (Acoustic)

[severelyKILLED15]

We know its you James lol

[indy7795]

j'aime mais il vaudrait mieux montrer la guitare et la technique que ta tète.

[zamine81]

it's a very beautiful song, good job.

[lpmarcel96]

really good. in my opionion its the best fade to black cover in youtube .

[FrayedENDofSanity]

See at 1:19 - 1:21 - he lifts his head and it looks like hetfields playin it lol... cos of the beard

[IndiLeoFan]

That sounds good. I really like it

[IiIElecMenArIiI]

fail to black

[noonprune]

loved it..this song gets my heart pounding eveytime....and seriously..hell sexy too

[Richjluna]

As long as they play it good, then it'll rock.

[xTheHiddenx]

can someone explain to me about string gauges?

like the numbers and weather if its light or heavy

[forrest49]

Nice stuff man. On that main acoustic riff you were playing it abit fast. Still though nice to see another metallica fan playing some.

[DeathmetalDukk]

good job dude.

[attacker199]

good job

what tuning ?

[Eucaluptux]

E standard tuning

[Nickb63]

The bit at 1:55 sounds seriously bad

but the rest was good

[IsaacBBBB]

yeah chill with the tremolo picking

theres something to be said for long, sustained notes.

[buttfartmuhgee]

sonata arctica did a good cover of the song

[jlblakeland]

Great job. That was one of the the best covers of that song I've ever seen.

[girlyamaha]

Very good I LOVE this song

[yourvideosucks01]

dude have you ever even heard this song? Read my name dude.

[Finedotwrx]

HAHAHAH omfg, you're the funniet guy on youtube! for your cleverness why dont you get yourself a cookie, you really earned it.

[3acdc3mtlca]

stop bashing everyone about fade to black covers its really annoying especially when they play it good.

[DarkAngelVampireGirl]

good job \m/ rock on! =)

[teckerk]

what happend to the intro solo man, if u learn dat shit on acoustic youl be a master at it on an electric im tellin ya

[mannyisblack]

it would sound empty without a background

and playing those short sweet arpeggios near the end would be near impossible on 13 guage strings

[Yaco550]

afina la guitarra macho

[Marchan73]

awesome job

[mellenpodz]

scratch that i figured it out

[mellenpodz]

the part that starts at 0:45 i want to learn it but i cant find it on any website, any one no where to find it?

[simba095]

tht was awesome

[stucknmove]

watch your timeing,otherwise not to shabby.

[iwantcheesypuffs]

just a little more work on the a few of tha tansitions and it would be perfect. nice!

[piarate68]

your good i can play it to but you do it better

[piarate68]

youre good i can play that also and alot other songs by metallica nice video

[J22NOWELL]

GOOD JOB I STARTED THIS SONG YESTERDAY

[sirjew]

awesome job man, i've almost got the intro down, nice job finishing it off

[fgr94martin]

Cool man I love the part in which you do the middle solo, incredible, check mine and tell me what you think, I´ve been playing during six months and I´ll keep you posted and I´ll put the rest of the song, the solos and all that probably this week or next because my cable is damaged hehe, anyway pretty cool

[1Vianne1]

cool!! can play it myself, but i have a different way of doing it :P

but these sounds cool too!

[fearmeforiamgod1]

this song is so fucking hard to play i can play the solos but not the verse. and my best friend plays the verse just to fuck me

[irvingjohn]

I'm not having a very hard time with it. Just one of those songs I guess.

[fearmeforiamgod1]

my brain just looks at it and freezes i have tried learnig it by ear by watching their concert vids tabs, everything but cant doit but the solos come so easy to me

[irvingjohn]

Opposite for me. I can usually get verses after some good practice. But solos have never been my thing.

[irvingjohn]

Opposite for me. I can usually get verses after some good practice. But solos have never been my thing.

[fearmeforiamgod1]

i finally got the damn song down and played at a show and i got an encore just me not my band

[nklsnz]

i wish i could play like that

[MetalDeth777]

[DarthXasthur]

Maby in like 4 to 5 more years on guitar youll be able to play the song

[ABpridator]

Your play is lifeless. You can better!

[boringwoodson]

badass man, keep it up!!

[SteveCrothers]

Perfect. Great playing man.

[slimseany66]

[pilotlicense]

Hetfield doesn't have a mustache anymore, and neither does the guy in the video. Jigga what?

[paulodlgo]

[Hadicius]

[y0utuberx]

[nimrodzor]

[roozbeh067]

great!! good job.

my friend and i played nothing else matters. if you want, go check it out...we might play fade to black too. i love this song

[tipsypyro]

Great job man. don't be discouraged by a bunch of douchbags who say they can do better but for some reason have no vids of themselves.Old mettalica kicks ass.

[damianbass]

hijo de puta

[noremorse146]

dude........no comment;) i wish id singed fade to black as well as u but im a noob for the moment:)

[WickedAngel660]

I absolutely love the begining...Like...the first 40 sec. is really beautifully played...

[samoel94]

i just love it!

[Jester054]

Sounds alright overall, just tune your guitar a little better next time bud :)

[Balora1]

[bepsleaze]

very good, you are a talent,but you maybe gonna change face XD

[panos113]

[mookiller]

i'm impressed by ur efforts. although i'm no guitar player, ur talent has been appreciated. :)

[krishaggarwal]

[OzzMan365]

Wow...wrong,wrong,wrong,everyt­hing...bad...sorry,you got better after intro,but none of itys wrong,I was kidding!Good,good,very good!

[samosx21]

that sucks. ur joke

[SWASTAFIX]

theres a 13 yr old that can play the WHOLE thing so im not to impressed.

[wesleyman94]

wich is me im 13 and i can play the whole song every part

[Nopez20]

tbh i didn't like it, i've played guitar for whats comming up on 12 years now and truth be told you got potential but fade to black is just not made out for an acoustic guitar further more its not made for a terrible acoustic guitar has to be the worst acoustic guitar i've ever encountered in my entire music history , dude get an electric guitar id advice ESP KH2 or a Flying V, both works wonders while playing metallica tunez but yea keep it up and you'll turn out great

[McKaganD]

that's my favorite song turned into a fuckin symphony!!!Perfect...you're the man.

[qtlatina92]

[DaBounc3r]

timing is a touch off, but overall, it's great.

[KzarAugusto]

Very good! Muito bom

[metallica231]

Hey one quick question, How come every1 got all pissed off when I sed he wasn't that good (whichi took back) and acted like I was the first one who sed it. I was a lot nicer than evry1 else who didn't like. Srry for having an opinion.

[syphor009]

Very good, I heard only one part that was a tiny mistake.... but thats nothing. Keep up the good work, most of the guys on here are just arogent assholes

[PaperShuriken]

That is awesome, man! Keep up the good work!

[metallica231]

Ok my computer must have skipped or something the first time I watched it because at 1:54 u r crazy better than me. Sorry, I see what an asshole I looked like. I have been Practicing this song for like a year now and its the same parts over & over again so thats y i thot i was better than u at some of the parts, but hands down, u r the winner. Plz forget my first comment even existed. srrysrrysrry

[metallica231]

All rite maybe i was a bit harsh, but keep practicing and u'll get it. And as for u who r saying "where is the video of me playing it" i don't have a camera

[fatmanfrommars]

it's alright but you did skip a couple of the solos very doable with an acoustic.

[sh900806]

Wow, great job, man! It really sounds like that part was made for the acoustic guitar!

[maniz83]

Nice

[ananasovyjogurt]

pretty tough song to play.... not as great as Kirk, but nothing is as great as him so.... good job man

[syphor009]

uhh... James plays those parts not Kirk

[soulvendor]

hm.. I don't think it's great. My gf is waaaayyy better than you. >.>

[fs1991]

why it's pretty cool...not because he's old means that he is like kirk the verse is cool really...just keep practising and u'll be great next time

[futurama5656]

damn this are some ignorent fuckers man the dude is just showing us what he likes to do if u guys don tlike dont comment at asll nd shut the fuck up nd dont watch the video nd as for u man dont worry with practice ull get it kepp it up

[sexomaniac]

I think he should practice more before posting videos. There are some obvious mistakes. I'm not throwing any stones at him though.

[metallica09876]

yeah dude, fuck off.

If you said that you play better, where is the video?

[metallica09876]

and, where is that fucking video where you play better that him? asshole

[randyrhodes16]

hahahaha nice one bro

[metallica231]

Im only 13 and I can play it better. Im not putting myself up, im putting you down.

[randyrhodes16]

seriously dude i can play it better but im not bein an asshole about it, just fuck off

[sprintisadefence]

shit ow dont fuk up a gud song you need schooling cunt fuk offff

[CaitlinsMyGirl4Ever]

i think your missing some solo's....and rythm's and chords....and talent..........

[1chiller1]

[travismartin26]

hey man nice i'm half way finished this song thanks to you thats a lot man your awesome

[omgerz]

[Cybor88]

Where's the last part?=p Where it starts to get heavy!

[Panterafan77547]

Thats sucked like realy bad

[silverstox]

Hey Panterafan, listen up asshole. If you think you can do better than he did, then a)get a guitar b)show us your version of fade to black c)get a life shithead. The dude did his best, let's see you do better-ok, dude?

[Panterafan77547]

Uhh that sucked

[devolv3r]

Great. Can you link me to the tab you used.

And btw I guess you play it with a pick, aye?

[hackerssux]

not bad.. but next time u post a video, its better to center the guitar on screen.. never mind ur face. ^^

[666Swiggy666]

your hot...lol...but awesome job

[javier232]

u look bored

[Ville163]

good job! But don't just post videos when you're playing metallica, post megadeth - symphony of destruction or something else that's not metallica.

[metallica231]

No he likes Metallica

[itsdansby]

ok not bad bar far ur best video all your others u are quitle sloppy out of time and out of tune overall a very good job but wuts withthe tremelo picking on the 2nd solo it doesnt sound good if ur gonna improbe do more than jsut pick faster

[tweeds2010]

you've been listening to too much NEW metallica and not enough OLD metallica.

[NiMP12345]

i wouldnt say its bad, though you arent playing with your soul, too dead sort of ;p. a few mistakes, though its quite good, like what you did with the 2nd solo =)though its been done before ;) keep it up mate

[holierdenthou]

good job man! i really wanna lean this song..the normal version made it my goal to be the first full song i learn!:) then i wanna try an accoustic version you've inspired me

ever think of doing a master of puppets accoustic?

[beallright87]

goooood man! congratulations!

[maryse89]

Nice!do you think you can send me the tabs? :)

[Rammsteincoolness]

[vietgal25]

[v4mpir33d]
