Metallica Kirk Hammet Arpeggio Lesson

This is the fast sweep picked arpeggio part at the start of the solo in Metallica's Leper Messiah.

I must have been smokin crack when I made this because I start on the lower B (index finger) but it actually starts on the high B (pinky).

To hear it starting from the high B and with distortion :) visit:

It's Free and has a complete beat by beat breakdown to play along with.

ATTENTION METALLICA FANS

On the 15th October 2011 will be the 30 year anniversary of Metallica forming. This band comprised of mere men no different then you and me, have graced this land with music in its purist form for 30 glorious years. We owe them the honor of having the worlds most viewed video on Youtube! A title one little idiot doesnt deserve. Up until and also on the 15th October 2011, all metalheads are required to watch Enter Sandman live at Moscow! POST EVRYWERE

@macye030 Cause I bet he rocks out heavy and loud, and nobody ever turns down distortion. Against the law.

[Kylan0728]

Just because he can't play it well doesn't mean that he doesn't know it.

[Gaboy9515]

Everytime I see a video of someone playing licks....their fingers never look like where they are actually playing.

By the way....I like the fact that you playing it clean...easier to hear.
