Metallica - Ride the Lightning (solo)

[TheDrunkenSanta]

hey i saw that guitar at guitar center anybody know wat kind it is

[bergAgreb]

@TheDrunkenSanta I think its either a Dean from hell or a Washburn

[13Rover13]

i think this solo isn't as hard as people think

[ozzy33334]

lol what an appropriate guitar for the song...ride the lightning loi awesome

[mcnutt5521]

nice man, is this solo hard to play

[xULTIMATEHALOGAMERSX]

dude it awsome grate work....the quality is kinda bad but goddamn can u play guitar

[skydude142]

dude that fuckin rules!!!

[VlikeVince777]

Cool!

[L4stCaress]

Pretty good, though the tabs are wrong. E.g at 01:10 it's nothing like the original solo, I'm still working on that part on ear. Just work with the tempo to get it as fast as it's on the record and it'll be just fine. Unless you've already done that, this video is 7 months old.

[nomad434]

its not fake ...he starts tapping late ...what you hear its the tapping on the song

[131242313424]

the video and sound could also always be out of sync

[astrofr3k]

Youtube always doesn't sync right with some videos. This is real I believe. It's just outta sync

[FretFreak02]

Think its fake or it's taped very very shit. Check out 00:04 seconds:P

[metallicaneji]

Its calling Tapping , idiot...

[FretFreak02]

It's calling...... learn English shithead

[Marbleizer]

its fake listen at :00:04 the tapping already starts

[metallicaneji]

You can start tapping without playing any notes...

[xGamerGuy]

Watch Close at 00:04!!!

[metallicaneji]

Yes its called tapping...so? whats your point...

[Metallicashiznat]

dood can u please send me the tabs u used cause i cant find a tab with the ending part correct

[omingud]

This is very fucking good! 5 stars

[PoCkEtRoCkEt50]

nice but can u do it again wi the backing turned down lower :)

[olea1988]

GOOD JOB

[orendinar]

very nice :-)

[PhatJoe170]

very nice... u seriously r the first person i ever saw on youtube play a cover solo GOOD!!!  sweet

[bon2bonn]

wow dude nice job

[SmashtheWalls]

very nice

[Predsfan14]

don't be pissed at me for going off topic or anything but i just started playing guitar and i wanted to know what pick-ups do?

[pissonacopcar]

they "pick-up" the sound of the vibrating strings

[arockquote]

It's what takes the sound from the strings sends it throught the cable and into the amp. If u have better ones installed it completely changes ur tone and its awesome!

[Dime798]

I just noticed you cut it short near the end?

Is the gp tab like that or did you edit it?

Anyway it was pretty kickass dude.

Btw, could you please post what kind of camera your using whether it's digital/webcam ect, I've been looking for a decent one for a while.

[snowborder232]

wats alternate picking

[knocksvil]

its not one of my fav metallica song but u gotta luv that solo, nd u can play it bro, sweet

[HoboBob2]

great job man. everything about that song is great... even the rythm.

[themaggot8]

you should practice taping with your fingers, but it sound good

[BanditBen50]

yea, don't hate people, this solo is VERY difficult, I've tried learning it, but I still don't have it down. Nice work bro.

[IEatNoobs22]

Did you use alternate Picking for that fast part?

[IEatNoobs22]

O thanks man. Ive only been playing for 2 months and getting lessons for 1 month so im def. not as good as you :p. Im practicing it though

[rtguitar]

everybody has to start somewhere and practice makes perfect!!! :)

[parkersvx90210]

You can tell its a Dave solo cuz its way too progressive to be Kirk and cuz its just a fact.

[drolos]

no way man. notice this solo is in sections. thats a kirk signature. definitely not dave though that guy did have some killer solos in his time with metallica

[IEatNoobs22]

Nice job man. How long did it take you to learn? How long have you been playin guitar?

[rtguitar]

thanks! took me about 3-4 days practicing to learn it as well as i have (it's still not perfect).. been playing seriously for about 4-5 years

[canuckz]

thats pretty good but the backing track messed up near the end

[rtguitar]

i know... the one measure is supposed to repeat twice but it doesn't for some reason??..

[guitarman812]

WOW THAT SOUNDED AWESOME MAN! NICE!

[WyattRoss]

nice job man..that is one of the best covers of that solo i have heard on here..you play the start a little bit slow..but thats not important awesome job though kicked ass! keep posting vids

[rtguitar]

thank you very much! i actually have a ton of other cover's on here , check my channel, though I don't think they all came out quite as good as this one did!

[iron000maiden]

sweeet dean

[Mettallikah]

wow... man you should try to play it with the real song in the back and to be sincronized, but with practice you might have it perfectly, you're a good guitarist man.

[rtguitar]

yeah I know, I tried to play it with the real song but my friggin CD kept skipping through it... need to burn or buy a new one!.. thanks so much for the feedback!..
