So many people play this wrong, I'm glad to see you play it how he actually plays it, not many tutorials (if any) do the real way of playing it. Well done my friend!
i mean this in the nicest way possible.... even tho we cant really see your face you remind me of an irish version of wayne from waynes word!! EXCELLENT!!!
@EricCMusic dude tabs own notes and sheet music can go get ass fucked by a baby holding a plunger, you should use tabs instead of having to spend more time watching someones fingers
for some reason ive always thought this way was easier than the A minor version. BTW thanks for helping me confirm i wasnt playing something wrong. good video keep rocking!
But... can you write the tabs? Please.... it's a little bit difficult understand when your language is not English.. I'm from Brazil and I wanna know this right tabs! Please! Just you can help the fans of Metallica!
Im really really new on guitar and sorry but the video is still confusing. its not your fault but you think you can make a new video in more in detail...you dont have to but it will help. great video thur :)
if anyone wants tabs or sheet music on how to play the main riff james style like you see here, then message me with your email address and I will email them to you.
oh, by the way...great shirt, pink floyd actually is one of the greatest bands ever. I'm a huge fan, so...metallica, floyd..you seem to be a pretty damn good musician and fan, hehe..
Great Job dude, really love it and I just tried to play it the way you do. Sounds great and actually..looks good ;) But day one when death magnetic was released, I tried to play the Song even thou there were no tabs or videos yet. And I guess I found out a much easier way to play it. Just play standard chords like die G you play...and then from the beginning it just goes Am, G, E, C . The Notes in between you should get pretty quick with your skills ;) greets from germany, keep going!
ah eric i remember the day i taught u that song by jesus u took to it like a duck to water glad i helped u on yr way keep up the good work i be down to u for lessons soon take care dude
Nice! but in the first part it's far easier to do it with a A minor chord, start with an open A, then on the D string an E (2nd fret), then a C on the B string (1st fret), then a D string E again, an open B, then an A on the G string (2nd fret), an open A, and finally a G string A. But nice paying, keep it up
Thanks dude but you'll find the a minor shape wont allow you any flow with the consistency in the sound of the patterns. The strings have no control when they ring out The way I have posted is pretty much how Hetfield plays it.
Open A Minor is easier, I agre.. but it aint right unfortunately.. Check jmaes' hands in the video for the song. Thanks again dude..
Dude u ROCK!!! you helped me so much (although i had to play it a little bit lower :P)! .. i made an account just to post a comment on your video. great attempt! congratulations!!!u were awsome!!! keep up the great work...!
hey there really great lesson. One question is in standard tuning i only ask because when i play the D string open at the beginning it just does not sound right and yet it sounds perfect on the video. before you ask yes my guitar is in tune so im somewhat baffled.
very good work, man. sounds incredible. it's going to take some time to sound anywhere near as good as you, but I'm grateful for the lesson. thanks a trillion
hey Eric .... I was never convinced enough by any video so as to leave a comment but ur keen sense of ear and the fact that u dont refer to any tabs compels me to applaud u ... cheers
Thank you!! This video really helped. I was trying to learn the TAB based off the Am and it wasn't making much sense to me. This version makes much more sense as far as finger placement and connection between the parts. It also sounds so much better! Thank you again =]
Thx a lot man.I'm trying to play that in a Classic Guitar, and it's working really good.I don't play that good yet, but I'll keep trying, you are very good.
you are very good but i was wondering if i can do the same video but with legends to help cause i don,t play very muchwell the guitar! thenks and you rule
You are talking a bit fast it was really hard to follow :/

Wow, you play that REALLY well. I think you are correct, as

mean about the unwanted ringing notes.
