  • @metallicamaniac318 yeah tuning is just awkward sometimes lol. They started using Eb eventually because it strangely suits the songs sometimes, S&M showed that. But I find that when they use Eb live it almost takes a little excitement away and I haven't seen a recent vid of theirs that wasn't tuned down. I hope they use standard E at Download if they're playing The Black Album song list

  • @Metalhead76545 Intersting insights. But actually... In my opinion, I think they just tune half a step lower because James' voice naturally got deeper over the years and he'd rather not hit the highs he did when he was younger. Idk lol

  • Very nice and tight cover there dude.

    Were you in standard tuning for this? Because the clean parts sounded a slight bit flat, I dunno if you've noticed but the track to me seems to be a quarter of a step higher than standard, not quite sure if they sped the songs up in studio just to make sure it sounded perfect but I always tune quarter of a step up when playing along, otherwise it just doesn't seem to sound right

  • @Metalhead76545 Yup, I'm in standard E. I've just always known Metallica to be in standard E especially in their early stuff.

  • @chrisuy1990 I can't say for sure but that's a pretty good point actually

  • i own the shirt you wearing lol

  • @Metalhead76545

    I've also noticed that when i play along, it too sounds a bit sharper (my guitar). I know that they sometimes tune down half a step live, maybe they tuned down in the studio too.

  • @chrisuy1990 thought so lol. I kinda prefer it when they use standard tuning, a lot of their music kinda sounds better in Eb but when they perform with that tuning they kinda lose a bit of excitement, unless it's from the S&M album :)

  • Very good! Hella clean and precise much better than most and same here--- Metallica Is the reason I picked up a guitar at age 7
