Metallica - Damage, Inc. - Cover

THRASH! This time a little faster song. The video is out of sync, but I wasn't really on the mood playing (or at least pretending to play) this song for the fifth time in row just to get the damn video right. First play through it, then record it and notice that the guitar isn't audible, third time get it right and finally, fourth time, film it. Oh, and between the second and third take there is a 10-15 minute gap; tried to solve the problem. (My computer can't handle the record from both Audacity and my web cam at the same time, so I have to do them separately.) My right hand wrist died while playing, this is hell of a fast song, but I managed to keep it in time and sound at least decent at the same time. Hope you dig it!

this is pretty good...

and to the other guys comment yea its hard as hell to play this solo but it really helps if you know penatonic scales because then you can just improvise and make it sound good if you don't actually know the solo.. but overall four stars man. good job. check out my videos.

I know quite a few of them, I'll post more videos with solos as soon as I'll get a new guitar (fast solos on a single cut Les Paul.. just too hard for me). I checked few of your vids and nice job.

i admit its one of metallica's hardest solos... but really... are u a beginner like me? im 5months how bout u? i not any closer to doin it than u... and its my fav song... but u cant do it either?

[L4stCaress]

I've been playing for about three and a half years. And no, I can't play it. I could play it very sloppy (my technique just simply sucks, I have to practice my alternate picking a lot), but.. what about the 5 star rating then ;)  But I don't only play these songs I've covered, I can e.g do barré chords very easily, I have a good ear for learning songs on ear and a good timing. I have friends that have been playing 5 months or so, and they are not as good as me. Of course I sucked then as well.

[L4stCaress]

After playing a certain time, some things just go on themselves. I can now easily play stuff which I couldn't play a few years ago (without practicing it for a week and still not get it good) and I'm pretty sure that after couple of years you'll be able to that as well. I've been taking guitar lessons, which has helped me a lot and I think I'm a lot more versatile player compared to other (most?) Metallica or just metal-playing freaks not having a single guitar lesson.

dude why do you need an amp your pod sounds fine, better than most amps.

[L4stCaress]

A few days ago I played my 30 watt Cube (which I hadn't played for a long time) and it sounded a lot better than the Pocket POD, but there was still something missing in the sound. I think it's because of the gain which is produced by the bigger speaker compared to my small computer speakers. I do agree that the Pocket POD sounds fine, but I'm looking for a lot better than just fine. As I said earlier, I'm not going to buy anything for the next few months, but after that I'll upgrade my gear.

@IronMaiden313 What?



[IronMaiden313]

@MrGuitarrica my bad kirk didn't realize that was you

[MrGuitarrica]

@IronMaiden313 No it is not hard to play the solo =/

[MrGuitarrica]

If somebody's interested they can go check out my cover of this song!

I Think it's pretty mediocre but a whole lotta people told me that it's very good.

Check it out and let me know what you guys think! =D

BTW Nice cover dude.

[FrostBite741]

[TheBlind97]

[oblivionfreak1115199]

guitar lessons really dont help that much with skill i have had only 3 lessons and been playing for 2 and a half years and i can play better than my friend wo too lessons for 3 years

[adris8]

[IronMaiden313]
