How to Play Battery by Metallica Guitar Lesson (w/ Tabs!!)

[stevesan]

Good job man. But plleease clarify this for me: You do skip a beat or something on the last measure? maybe I just suck at timing but when I count 1 2 3 4 it doesn't match up. Are they skipping a beat? it's too fast I can't tell.

[bombastickevin]

The last bit was a pisstake. Thats so fast

[MIGUELCLC1]

can you please upload the rest =p

[insanemaggot11]

dum, duda dum, duda dum, wee wum.

dum, duda dum, duda dum, wee wee wah wee.

dum, duda dum, duda dum, wee wah, wuh wee, wuh wee wah.

good luck. :D

[justin20111000]

nice pick ups

[PowerBolton]

is that a custom squier hss ???? what guitar are you using??

[metallicaboy123]

You should redo this since you have a better camera now.

[strikeout1991]

@MetalStupification

what the fuck?

"asgore" wrote that comment about his arms not me

[gold3npimp]

If you can play raining blood, you can play any other gallop known to man.

[metalmanjamer]

@gold3npimp i can play that song but the solo part in the begining is like in human they play it so fast

[gold3npimp]

@metalmanjamer

The 5-3-0-6-5-3-0- ? LOL I know. It's done using alternative picking. I cant play it b/c I don't have Kerry King hands.

[metalmanjamer]

@gold3npimp i can do it fast enough to where it doesnt sound like crapp mut not as fast as the slayers

[nicky43559]

no entiendo ni una mierda esas tablaturas

[RainingBlood15]

Aww man i lost my pick :( guess ill have to use one of the other 50 i hav in my room

[MultiMinecraft123]

you forgot the awsem intro

[GGLI22]

hmm without the intention to insult, u played very bad i meqn u dont play bad, but u dont know how to play that song dude srry

[CISphil11]

@GGLI22 life lessons 101: MEAN is not spelled with a 'q', saying 'no offence' (or 'without the intention to insult') means 'I secretly just want to kick you in the crotch', and mocking a great guitist/ teacher cause your a mindless troll is wrong. now back in your corner and think about what youve done!

[Metalhead121396]

pantera shirt on a metallica lesson ftw

[buffboy6197]

"good luck" lol

[suicidesnowman14]

thumbs up if those tripplets are hard as tits

[85underoath]

Don't listen to these short-dick haters. I've been playing for 15 years, and you did well, man. ps. If they knew so damn much, they wouldn't be watching YOUR lesson!

[cL0NcK]

very good lesson

[TheAndroid732]

i like how he's giving a guitar lesson on Battery by Metallica while wearing a Pantera shirt...lol but good video bro!

[WatchPlayDownload]

@TheAndroid732 Does it really matter what shirt you wear when making a video? No hate intended but who'd give a shit if he was wearing a Megadeth shirt and teaching you how to play Master Of Puppets. The only time it probably would matter if he was wearing something stupid like: A Jonas Fag's shirt, A racist shirt (like Swastika), etc.

[TheAndroid732]

@WatchPlayDownload i know it doesn't matter man, i'm just pointing out the obvious is all.

[WatchPlayDownload]

@TheAndroid732 Ahh its alright. And yeah it doesn't really matter :)

[johnnylove6]

Dude, if you're gonna give lessons, learn the notes of the guitar. Also learn the names of the intervals, like the minor 3rd that's being played in the main riff. It makes it easier to teach. Otherwise you sound like a rookie

[Cyramor11]

@johnnylove6 well he does not sould like a rookie when he plays. and where is your vid? eh?

[broFH]

PanterA t-shirt ! yeah man.

[JimX23]

probably the best most clear metallica lesson ive ever gotten on youtube. im trying to cover this song for shits and gigs and this video just saved me a lot of time, thanks man!

[gunsofhell1]

your an awesome teacher but can you plz teach all the song not just one riff.

[770AVP]

Damn! you must masturbate a lot to play that fast lol

[MrRidethelight]

WTF



[r3c0nr0ck5]

UR SO FUCKIN GOOD i wish i can play that fast. but im better at drums so i play that more than guitar

[DeusExuroStudios]

What effects do you use?

[kre7708]

why u starin at his arms do they turn you on or something u got ur own arms to stare at gay fag

[labonte595]

it sounds like barracuda in the beginning lol

[CelloChick14]

@labonte595 Haha thats exactly what I was thinking xD

[BmanRocks1996]

Thanks your the only one on you tube willing to teach this. Btw I have to use a new pick every time I play it because my Dunlop 96mm can't handle it

[The0fail0wears0prada]

Thank you marro! I got this part down with a bit of practice.

[Bianca97LP]

thumbs up if you have forgotten where you put your pick...I have:(

[hammettshlomi]

@Bianca97LP that happens to me every half hour..literally lol

[jumper1294]

@Bianca97LP you only have 1 pick?...

[Bianca97LP]

@jumper1294 I have a lot of picks but the majority of them are thick...I<3 my thin pick:)

[WIPEOUT3178]

@Bianca97LP i lost 1000s of them i find them all time

[xxjohnnyxx89]

@WIPEOUT3178 lol i usually find dozens when i scout for them after gigs.

[Ozzmaster2112]

@Bianca97LP

That's why i always keep mine tucked between the e, b, and g, strings :P

[AndrewkMcAllister]

@Bianca97LP I have 64 of them. So no :D

[rayzrblayd24]

@Bianca97LP I'm not sure if someone has already suggested this or not but I always stick the pick between the strings at the top of the neck.

[cholofracasado]

@Bianca97LP I didn't you son of rhinorocket

[ellipsis117]

[rustywood123]

@strikeout1991 o sorry man i didnt see the comment on top of yours :D

[NrichD]

Your an idiot aye.

[superste53]

these are good covers an stuff but i really hate the effects youve got

[Macaca91]

It was the same for me dude, i was trying to play the second riff from raining blood by slayer, and one day i just was able to do it.

I still havent completely mastered it but i can do the intro to holier than thou, so im sort of at that level.

[freesafe7]

what pedal are you using

[sexytacoeater1]

hey can u put a video for countdown to extinction the song from MegaDeth

[modelking100]

1:47 revers power chord, : )

[ruben03gitaar]

WOW thanks

[njnjatwjzt83775]

those notes after teh power chords, aren't they diads(or however it spelled)?

[day2daygrindin]

Man can you show how to do the intro on clean with the electric ?

[wHoIsShark]

@LithuanianGuitar how do u hate tabs?.... D: thats like hating pancakes

[LithuanianGuitar]

@wHoIsShark Tabs are confusing for me lol, but I don't hate pancakes! :D I almost learned solo by ear, so I think I gonna upload tha cover soon :D.

[wHoIsShark]

@LithuanianGuitar lol Metallica + Pancakes = Chuck Norris :O

[fatsug50]

[fatsug50]

Thanks you!

[MetalMadnezz1]

metallica song pantera t-shirt nice

[delator52]

guy YOU´RE THE BEST!!

[TheRucklePuckle]

Its kinda wrong how you play it...

[jackazz911]

ibanez

[havreyken14]

that was awesome dude

[superguitarnoob]

aaaaah! y burnt myself :(

[metallicaledzeplin]

he uses ibanez with line 6 amp i believe

[Eamonthegreat2]

Lay off the distortion just little cause its hard to hear the tone, but other than that amazing guitar lesson though. Great guitar too wow

[sammdogg1]

@Eamonthegreat2

dude its battery, no need to ease up the distortion at all haha

[Eamonthegreat2]

Lay off the distortion when you doin a lesson can't really hear the tone great great lesson though

[col33145]

Em and B/D#

[def257]

i get why he says good luck

[VirgilwithanE]

A better way to gallop is to focus on strumming downwards twice. Do it without lifting your hand up, and you've got a gallop. Just focus on the downward strumming. It actually allows you to go faster! Try it!

[chor2593]

i can't do it that way lol i go D U D and i go fast lol

[VirgilwithanE]

That's ok. Just a friendly tip from a fellow muso, lol.

[lawlstep]

i didnt think this was right until he played it all together at the end, then i started laughing to myself when he said good luck

[ParsonsGuitar]

Awsome man! Just need to get the speed right now :)

[minijackass91]

very helpful, i have it down by watching this once. thx

[Miittle]

Rating #300 XD

5 stars for you, dude!

btw, the note at 2:04 is a D with its minor third, and the note after that is the C# and its major third.

Keep it up!

[Miittle]

Sorry, I meant E with minor 3rd and D# with major.

See ya!

[Miittle]

And yet, I'm wrong again... I feel so stupid. Oh well... It's not D# with major, it's D with major. Srry

[spsioda]

@Miittle Hello

[mrmowhawk]

imo i think a good song for learning galloping styled picking is the fourhorsemen alot of the galloping on that is on an open string so its not very difficult to play either :p

[djlucario99]

hahaha niiice "good luck" XD

[james6394]

omg...i knew the tabs i was looking at were wrong :P thats why i couldnt play this for months :P

[ilke10]

cant you play through the never

[hasho0o0m94]

ithink high quality will be much much butter

[soatbfs]

you kick ass

what settings do you have?

[GTAhelyou]

i suscribe

[akkaazz]

Go to his channel and subscribe, not only is Matt a kickass instructor with the right combo visual (video) and hands on (tabs), he is incredibly down to earth! Anybody can learn from him. On his channel he explains his sound and effects!! Good learning guys and girls, I have learned a lot from the Mattster, so obey!! LOL!

[slipknotpetethez]

hell yeah i agree

[wannabeserpento99]

the gallops isnt no prob for me but i cant combine them with the first palm mute

[calvoydd]

dude how do u make ur amp sound like that please help!!

[wlsktr]

distortion pedal bro

[yayo13videos]

con solo verte tocar y ver lña tab me lo aprendo thank's!!!!

[caboose1234543]

nice tabs man. btw, those notes that you didn't know what they were called are called thirds. it's like a reverse power chord. I like it when people give legit tabs like yourself. Keep rockin'! as a musician, I feel compelled to give advice every time i give compliments....but this is flawless..the only thing i would do is give a full speed bit in there to show it all together. but flawless, do more vids

5/5*

[Miittle]

Thanks man, really helped. Last year I started playing guitar and it was even hard for me learning something like sanitarium at first XD, and about that time I saw this vid, started practicing and now I play this with no problem.

[grizzli1994]

If you practice a damn lot, yes.

Age doesn't really matter.

[guitarfelipsta]

how long have u been playing?

[x69metalhead69x]

if you practice hard, then yes, you can!

just have lots of confidence :]

[laitela01]

ur a poser kid ur music taste sucks ass

[babyducksrock]

Hetfield solos on nothing else matters and he also did the first, slower solo on master of puppets. There are probably others too

[Daftajest]

First solo on Suicide and Redemption, and Kirk and Hetfield harmonize solos on One.

[WOWman1797]

lol mattster you own

[MrHeadbanger999]

i am wondering can James now solo?

[WOWman1797]

woh and kirk play rythm? id like to see that lol, it would be awsome if james could solo, i like james more that kirk

[MrHeadbanger999]

i was just wondering because james has been playing for a very long time so i started wondering if he could do solos

[WOWman1797]

well im sure he is able too, his skills are just as face melting as kirk's

[123sukmeoff]

an easy way to explain that chord that u dont know what it is ... just say an " inverted power chord " :)

[toothpickvideos]

fuck hetfield is awesome. is it true he makes up solos for kirk??

[MitchellGranovsky]

noo some they make up together so it fits into one like fade to black

[toothpickvideos]

ah well either way it sounds great

[litlekarim33]

No! Of course not! Thats bullshit! Hetfield is a great musician and a genius, but Kirk plays his solos and Hetfiels arent good in playing solos !

[metalhead142]

hetfield did the solo to nothing else matters

[litlekarim33]

Of course i Know.. he also did master solo..(the first) but thats slow very easy solos everybody can play!

[253tac253]

hetfield tells him where to put the solo. thats it

[litlekarim33]

of course, but they all find riffs and hetfield is the best in this area.. And if u play guitar u know where to put it.. and its not only him to diciet it !

[HAHAHAUSUCK2]

No, kirk writes his own solos.

[TheDust69]

the gallop is like the one from

barracuda by Heart

[HAHAHAUSUCK2]

except its approx. 50 time faster XD

[marksgotmetal]

I like having the tabs to go along with the video. I have learned so much...thanx

[sk8enjoi000]

you rock thanks for showing all the musicians lives on your website, but i have a question will you put kirk hammet on your website? if you cant its cool but it would be great if you did. thanks

[m169marroquin]

Well the thing is I don't teach Kirk stuff. No solos in other words. Everything else is James.

[sk8enjoi000]

no not how to play his solos, im not good enough for that yet but like how he got into music like a biography of him. i just want to learn as much as possible about metallica and i read about mustaine and dime and hetfield and it was interesting. its funny that hetfields mom was an opera singer lol

[KiNgQuiNtoN555]

wat type of guitar do u have

[wimpy77]

nice job, but if you wanna play it like hetfield he uses all downstrokes no alternate picking.

[metalliNERD]

well my guess is there's just about 1 person known to more than 2 others that can downpick that gallop then... but seriously, does/did Hetfield ALL downpick that galloping in the mainriff? in that case, that is MADNESS! and then i would love him even more

[Meehow55]

ya man i heard about that

[panthersrock124]

how u get so distorted???

i turn my drive all the way up and it isnt as distorted

[STACIEkinz]

well what i use is something called POD which is really amazing cause you can get all different kinds of sounds on your electric...u can do blues,rock,metal whatever floats your boat and plus it also has a distortation effect on it so that comes in handy as well, but more then likely he used a distortation pedal haha

[frosty1990]

fookin hell your good .. cheers for uploadin the vid

[VagabondCookie]

LOL My Raining Blood on Guitar Hero Finally comes in handy.

I played the gallop at full speed the first time and thought nothing of it.

I didn't think people would suffer this badly for it.

[nolfavrellcalamakta]

sounds like its in Eb. is it? whats your guitar? the body reminds me of an Ibanez RG tremolo. and what are you running your amp into? id chance a guess at line 6 spider 3 150 watt, or a peavey VK 212/412?

[m169marroquin]

Ohh so close. It's an Ibanez GRX40 thru a Line 6 spider 212 first series.

[nolfavrellcalamakta]

haha i have a black RG so it looked a lot like mine. i thought the amp sounded more like the VK, i had a full stack VK about 5 years ago. my lead has a Line 6 spider III run through mesa cab, and i thought i recognized the reverb and distortion sound. what pick-ups, seymour duncan? btw good job on the rhythyms in this song, and all your songs, you've done great (I added you on myspace btw, the south park dude)
