How to Play The Four Horsemen by Metallica Guitar Lesson (w/ Tabs!!)

[SZ19891993]

4:36 time has taken it's toll on you,the lines that take your face...famine,your body it has torn through,withered in every place...pestilence for what you have to endure,and what you have put others through...death,deliverance,fo­r you for sure...now there's nothing you can do!

[SZ19891993]

thanks a lot for your videos!

[LambdaObjection]

everytime I hear that first interlude bit I mentally go to Jump In The Fire >:(

[idlepro]

ur a horrible teacher

[titophe24]

@idlepro ... and you u are gay -_-

[okmer333]

at the part at 4:35 i play the E"2nd fret 4th string"as a screaming harmonic. Sounds awsome! thanks for the GREAT lesson!

[josh18230]

into riff is more fun to play with the open e added in.

[oldsportfury1966]

is the 07 05 part palm muted

[muffigw]

@oldsportfury1966 It sounds like it is yes, but I find it hardly to play it palm muted.

[crustybackfat]

metal up yu ass

[idlepro]

Ur a fucking horrible teacher

[Kalo416]

Can you post a video on how to do the solos

[Megadething]

No Mechanix?? :((

[martynmcgilvray01]

@Megadething type in mechanix instead of four horsemen then

[villadavid4ever]

@martynmcgilvray01 Too bad there isn't a lesson for it.

[martynmcgilvray01]

@villadavid4ever its just basically the four horsemen except faster , no change i dont think

[villadavid4ever]

@martynmcgilvray01 Yes but the Mechanix has an intro the 4 horsemen doesn't. It's not that hard to figure out the notes though.

[twst1]

great lesson, tabs overlayed are awesome too. Quick, straight and to the fucking point. This lesson is not for beginners

[I20YBOY]

thanks....ahh...you did....ahh...an awesome job on the video you rock

[decovslampard]

2 lessons in 1

[MegaMustaine89]

The main riff its palm muting?

[hekotak]

dont you think that you need to hit the chords on the third riff twice?

[RSCao]

The title should be Megadeth - Mechanix >;)

[hayabus111a]

@RSCao naaah

[hendrixslashmay]

@RSCao i think you mean metallica the mechanix

[RSCao]

@hendrixslashmay Metallica?? LOL Dave Mustaine wrote the Mechanix and Metallica stole the song and just changed it up

[hendrixslashmay]

@RSCao whne dave was in metallica, it was called the mechanix, then he left metallica called it the four horsemen, and megadeth kept the name the mechanix but dropped the "the"

[sexybeast507]

@RSCao dave helped write it while in metallica, which means its the bands song. They didnt steal anything

[RSCao]

@sexybeast507 Nope. Before he even joined Metallica he wrote the song by himself. He called it the Mechanix and decided to share it with Metallica. But after he got kicked out, Metallica took the song and just added the melodic part with the melodic solo and renamed it The Four Horsemen. Dave got mad so he sped it up and put on the album Killing Is My Business...And Business is Good.

[sexybeast507]

@RSCao either way, after dave was kicked out metallica made it better than it originally was

[RSCao]

@sexybeast507 I don't think they made it better they just cheated off of him. I think the original is way better but that's just my opinion

[SlyFoxzzz]

and another kick ass song learnt from the skills on matt

[MrSupermario554]

My god you kick ass!

I love your videos! Do you do private lessons? Hahaha

[cissystrutter]

@BL0TT0911 Dude, these are quick lessons to learn the rythym parts of all the songs, there very helpful actually, if you want the solo, look it up

[ronniea7x]

DAVE MUSTAINE song

[basslovak]

lol you are teaching The Mechanix not fourhorsemen xD

[Abyssvx]

@basslovak It is the Four Horsemen

[cissystrutter]

@basslovak There the same damn thing...

[SuperTkd2010]

yeah this is really ... pff



[GlenGrunge]

cool lessons dude sweet!!!! rock on \m/

[legojunk53]

I'm trying to learn the Mechanix, so would it just be this faster?

[RafaSobis]

@legojunk53 lol yes

[Magiffin]

@legojunk53 Yeah haha. 

[urielx17]

@m169marroquin

agree after all he is the master

[anicked1]

the reason people disliked because of him being so awesome at guitar

[KurtKobainnnn]

Awesome :D

[MrKongarne]

Your very beardy, it looks like :P I want a beard like that 2 :(

[doom666kratos]

What tune is he using?

[metalisbetter1o00]

@doom666kratos Standard 

[doom666kratos]

@metalisbetter1o00 Very Thanks man.

[urielx17]

is the intro plam muted and what is the tone on the KEA album

[mseals29]

@ggriffinn1 If you call stealing the riff from Kiss writing the riff then..... OK

[metalfrommaine]

@mseals29 dave mustaine wrote this riff not kiss .

[mseals29]

@metalfrommaine Dave Mustaine himself said that he copied the riff from Detroit Rock City so before you open your ignorant mouth do some research.

[coolduderonit]

@metalfrommaine : not the Whole...Intro and Main riff was written By James hetfield...The part before the solo(The Crazy galloping) was written by Mustaine the GOD !!!

[HurricaneTBag]

@ggriffinn1 It's also not an Open E triplet, it's two open Es then the 5th.

[ykmt96]

well done

[H3MetalC0rE]

you curve your fingers too much.

[urielx17]

do we palm mute the E and A string?

[WarPhalange]

I love your lessons, man! Very easy to follow and very thorough! :D

[keyable]

from where have u learnt this stuff?

[Demonman26]

Too much bass. It sounds like it's downtuned too much.

[urielx17]

i wanna know the intro like the very 1st notes they hitt in the begining

[cissystrutter]

@urielx17 Its just the power chords that follow like every riff the

D--5---7-5

A--3-5-5-3

E----3-----

into the main riff

[andrewds98]

if we play it faster is it the mechanix?

[metalmaniac2493]

@andrewds98 Pretty much.

[shadowstorm1989]

It's not often that you get people teaching like this with proper chord names instead of "It looks like this." Very much appreciated for knowing your stuff.

[sasha6z]

hello faster version of lars

[caesar09]

other than the beginning, the way you tabbed and played it was way sick

good job bro

[Kav2990]

Anyone that could help me with the settings for this song please? I have a line 6 spider IV 75 Watt.

[159Fender159]

Nice tut man

[LBXII]

[HindsiteTV]

This isn't four horsemen, it's a shitty version of the mechanix

[strikeout1991]

@BL0TT0911

just in case you didn't notice, he's always teaching the rhythm guitar parts, on every song...

[623broncoboy]

You are badass!!!! Your lessons are very helpful. I wish your tab showed the palm muting. Anything new coming!!!!!?????? Breadfan Metallica's cover of that song is superb.......

[DIXIEPAWSpunkrock]

[cMaXeJIJIo]

@m169marroquin

I was just thinking the same thing today: it`s not my playing-my amp`s just 15Wt lol xD

But really, I`ve been thinking why my sound sucks, although my playing is fairly good, so thanks alot for the confirmation, bro!

KEEP IT METAL!(C)

[toshisou]

@olbapnob yeah i recon its Ulrich!!!! sounds like him eh?

[matatoros2]

[Mornenion]

Is the first part palm muted, or done open? Because it doesn't sound quite right for me either way

[SpicyDragoon]

Is this standard tune, or Drop tuned to D?

[nicolasthorpe]

sound just like it is... how do you setup it?

[alek96]

amazing lesson. i wish every lesson on youtube was like this one. thx for the tab guidlines toO!

[chocolatesprite]

is the open E palm muted?

[BulletFrenzy543]

no, i usually play it open i just personally think it sounds nicer

[chocolatesprite]

I have seen some tabs with a palm mute and I've  seen some with open.

[MACARONIEMANIAC]

@chocolatesprite Yes

[SquidwardsAK47]

Thank You Matt i would have never learned this without you!

[grimbisb]

men awesome lesson...

[stasiagmz]

thanks thanks thanks dude you rock!!!!

[feliprvd]

thankss man you are amazing

[Drat333]

dont wanna criticize, but this way sounds way too bassy. you should play the A string 5th fret by itself. So

-5-7--5-7--5-7--5-7--5-7---

----0-----0-----0----0-----0--­-

Just a tip, but good otherwise!

[Gishatako]

@Drat333 Agreed, thats how I play it

[diegoisraelthrash]

@Drat333

its harder that way

[Drat3333]

@diegoisraelthrash great music isnt easy. especially metallica :P

[Coldretter]

@Drat333 your right

[nemanja228]

@Drat333 Actually your way is the right one .

[jojofromkocomo93]

Thanks Man You Are Awesome !!! xD

[TheLucasMetal]

[jlozada24]

@thelucasmetal yess!!! i just got the 110 watt vypyr and it sounds epic metallica tone

[gibson4ever28]

[Fade2Black310]

[Fade2Black310]

[Mustang5003GT]

Thank you

[prittyboy60]

thanks alot bro

good video man

[sglemus]

Hmm I seem to be getting alot of shit cuz I forgot that I posted twice on this video so everyone just calm down I was just saying and great lesson btw

[TopleggedSkater]

Kk. Just to let you know, I already know you were indirectly insulting Metallica's speed.

[sglemus]

Oh my bad both good songs though and slight differences but nothing to get pissed off about like really people?

[TopleggedSkater]

I'm not mad. I just hate when people troll.

[mentalrock]

everyone stfu about megadeth vs metallica. they are both good bands and you all sound so ignorant.

[27isthebest]

haha...true dat..

[Bmoney686]

great lesson

[FinalFrontier0]

excellent tone, great tutorial!!

[HighLifetage]

distortion is perfect!

[sglemus]

Sweet now I can just speed it up and play Mechanix

[CkY3221]

then you can take out the middle solo and add shitty vocals to it too!

[sglemus]

Hmm I didn't know saying sweet I can play mechanix (better version) would get your panties in a wad fuck off Metallica fan boy

[CkY3221]

you were obviously looking for someone to say SOMETHING to you.... you posted the same comment a second time when noone would reply

fukin pussy, get off the internet

[TopleggedSkater]

You're a faggot sglemus. You literally go on the internet and look for fights. That's why you repeated your comment twice. Stupid idiot.

[ilovemykeys]

Awesome

[carlopse]

when people ask me where did you learn that song i just tell them from the BEST and i give them your Chanel..

[david4man]

Dude, your videos are by far the best. I have used many of them learning my favorite riffs. This song is a hard one...Thanks for making it easier!!

[MrJohnbekx]

sweet but can you teach us the solo's ?

[jackazz911]

i was asking this too :Pp

[boemsie0906]

ur the best teacher out there u learned me fade to black and now this one and lots to come i guess

[xXGeNe5i5Xx]

wicked lesson man helped loads :)

[ecxpac]

Riff beginning 1:19 -- alt. picked gallops or downstrokes? Picking hand would've been nice to see.

[jcast18k]

MECHANIX > FOUR HORSEMEN

[jesusvalles54]

exactly

[GimmeDatSheep]

i learned to love both songs

[Taterztotz]

You sure this is in standard? I listened to this on playlist and it sounds more like its a half step down. but every tab i look at including this vid says its in standard

[m169marroquin]

All of Kill em all is standard. Mechanix on Killing is my Business is quarter step down.

[parkerman6]

metallica never wrote songs outta standard until the thing that should not be.
