10 Cool James Hetfield Leads | [+Tab]

[@ibrahimbirdal]

Sorry guys, the video had to be cut due to copyright issues (07. Suicide & Redemption), I uploaded the uncut version please check the link below if you curious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWO9Z62jh9Bkbs0

[@aminqashqaee2174]

Thanks a lot

[@darkimperial007]

this might just be because of my lack of playing ability but I've always preferred James' slower more feeling packed lead parts. the outlaw torn outro is packed with feeling.

[@Kmar2025]

Second that, Hetfields lead stuff is so damn groovy ans feely

[@martyjohnstone8226]

Thirded! I started playing at around age 13 because of Kirk's leads - continued playing because of James. Fury and feeling in a single player 🤘🤘

[@iamme4184]

eh, when people say "feeling" all thats just subjective, to me feeling is insanely fast riffs and solos because that gets my blood pumping, that i can actually feel, dont get me wrong there is stuff to be appreciated with slower more melodic playing but if i had to take a bluesy solo or an insanely fast solo, im taking the fast one 100%

[@playermartin286]

James is just a way better musician than kirk by a long stretch

[@mr.iiconic]

@@iamme4184 it's power vs emotion. In my 32 years being a metal barely anyone can shred something emotional. The slower it is and the more the notes breath, the more emotional they are. Power and emotion are both very FEELY, so you're correct

[@andrewpappas9311]

James is undoubtedly one of the greatest rhythm guitarists in all off rock and metal but he can do some damn good leads when he wants, keep rocking Papa Het

[@hms2407]

I love it when rhythm players take up the lead work and interpret it in their own way. James is a such an awesome player.

[@piepomz5387]

5:09 I love that you made the bass loud

[@stroglen]

Same!

[@JimmyKilmister]

Justice for Jason

[@GamerNXR]

​@@JimmyKilmisterkinda dumb statement since Jason says the way the album sounds is the way it's meant to be.

[@johnsmith-di4ww]

​@@GamerNXRWrong. The planet has proven its merit time and time again. What does a pawn say to the revolving truth? Nothing. Justice For Jason.

[@erl0116]

James' solo on To Live is to Die is so emotional.

[@anemicroyalty8764]

James’ Live Die solo is my second favorite one ever, and so incredibly underrated. You do a better job than most at imitating it, though I’ve never really heard anyone totally nail it. There’s so much pathos and emotion in it, it’s a tear-jerking 30 seconds.

[@anemicroyalty8764]

[@FellowMcDude]

Chad like behavior for not only doing the list and sounding great but also putting tabs up. Kudos to you dude.

[@jenshagelstein7695]

9:33 one of the most beautiful melodies…

[@merlesmith6794]

Had no idea that first solo in puppets was hetfield. It’s actually my favorite of the song. 🤘

[@flavy1000]

Great stuff..not only for begginners I bet..they are such great lines...though simple enough..that's what makes a musician, so big!

[@dustinplatt6882]

Kirk: Diddling with random scales, arpeggios, with Wah-Wah, some tapping and 3rds with Wah-Wah... Then adds more Wah James: Melodic solos, with just feeling.

[@anakinlowground5515]

I mean, Kirk has made some incredible solos. His solos on Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning, and Fade to Black, and One come to mind for me

[@MonoXerc]

​@@anakinlowground5515 His solo to ONE will have a special place in my heart

[@JaxTheRiffer]

Should've included the faster James solo from Suicide and Redemption. That's one of my favorite Metallica lead parts.

[@gansior4744]

Very underrated solo from him after great build up

[@semotano]

I didn't know that part from My Friend Of Misery was James'... Great job, thank you for including some newer stuff as well!

[@nst.pierre9800]

They both play it at the same time. Kirk is at a higher octave though. They've done that many times.

[@kcmet79]

Me either. James wrote this solo ???

[@barakaobama4017]

​@@kcmet79Its a harmony though, not a solo

[@DessertUnicorn]

mashallah ibrahim back with another banger, literally making me want to scream watching you play!!!!!

[@GigaManners]

The harmonies in blackened are soooo catchy!

[@maxheight22]

Honestly I have to say, I feel like these leads would be better suited to intermediate players as I think beginners would struggle with them a bit. Great video though!

[@vintagegaming1917]

was thinking the same thing but metallica kinda doesn’t have any leads that are super easy.

[@BucNasT]

Why did you assume they would be easy? Lol Theres nothing about this video that states their beginner lead riffs

[@vintagegaming1917]

@@BucNasT the title used to say easy beginner leads, got changed

[@Grizzlyঐু]

@@BucNasT my thoughts too

[@ibrahimbirdal]

@@BucNasT Actually the title was "10 James Leads For Beginners" then I chanced the title, thats why they comment this way

This video is like you asked me what would I like to learn next, wow, I'm beginner and I want to play easy metallica riffs, thank u🎸♥️

[@nidodeaguila2319]

Riff Lord! Long Live James! What a great artist. Those solos are deep and strong, slowly killing.. his soul is on every piece ..so our souls

[@professionalidiot280]

You got to show us how to get that beautiful tone brother. It's absolutely magical

[@mcathawk1490]

James could have been a great lead player if he wanted to. He’s so precise. I would like to see him do more

[@lasererik]

Awesome video , finally someone who teach the leads from James ,THX for the great video and great playing

[@TheSinsisansar]

Now that we're dead and Outlaw Torn sounds quite familiar. Never noticed before. Great playing as usual man!

[@SimpleKiid]

I love James leads and solos and riffs and It might not be the speed solos of Kirk or some other lead players. But to say that they are "easy" or beginner friendly i don't know.

[@romans003]

Doesn’t matter how easy , it’s about what sounds good, and fits the music, Hetfield is a big advocate of this attitude, he has always said Megadeth and many other bands try to be to technical and complex, it’s all about the sound and the music

[@Sebgeetarman]

great video! I'm gonna sit in my room and learn all of these now

[@animalwillopus79]

Inamorata from 72 Seasons has James continuing some more badass work!!

[@justarandomguy117]

It's no coincidence that some of these are my favorite songs

[@rubemortenson1724]

I'm glad you didn't include the first guitar solo from Orion just before the bass solo. A lot of people credit James with that solo because of a misunderstanding in the liner notes, but that solo is definitely Kirk.

[@deletedhero5579]

Yea that one always annoys me as it's clearly Kirk I have no idea why James is credited. I always assumed it was because of the lead harmonies on that song that James plays

[@xamanelipe]

I love Metallica to death what they did for music is incredible 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Mochaccina]

great video! however, you cut the outlaw torn where it ends on the album. there's a little bit of extra lead at the end of the single version, where it doesn't fade out. liked and subbed ^^

[@kcmet79]

Outlaw torn is def a standout on an already strong album. This detail doesn't appear here but I really love the feedback-induced note that comes in right before the solo (tho I always play it as a harmonic)... the five (Bb) is being played via a full bend from Ab (e.g. 5:45), and its fifth (F) swells in before Hetfield's groovy outro solo kicks in

[@samcohen2483]

The fact that the world's best rhythm player can still do a bit of lead is unreal

[@krod4278]

James is so underrated man

[@tommilitello198]

When you get to that level of playing you can’t say who’s better between Kirk and James,or James and Dave,or Kirk and Kiko,just what style you prefer,there is no “best” guitarist

[@Someguy04-v3m]

I agree. Only favorites. No bests.

[@vinniemenon6586]

Outlaw torn is awesome. Good job

[@КоньВПальто-е9р]

I might be mistaken but the solo at the end of the harmony part of orion is written by JH too

[@diegolatorre6793]

He lets Kirk do the leads because he doesnt wanna steal the show

[@Micahlikespie]

Sick video! I did notice that the James master of puppets solo is a bit different than the one I'm learning? Where are these tabs from, I'm learning from Songster, which seemed pretty legit.

[@ibrahimbirdal]

Thanks, I'm writing the tabs, I writed the same positions as James plays

[@kevinstewart8120]

James does the 2nd guitar solo in Orion doesn’t he? The one right before the bass solo

[@mattjns]

That’s Kirk. 👍🏼

[@garrettculley8907]

I’m not a hundred percent sure I think that solo is James. There’s a ton of stuff online saying it is. Now weather he plays it live is a different question. The one time they play To Live is To Die live, Kirk played his solo for some reason.

[@mattjns]

@@garrettculley8907 The solo right before the Cliff’s bass solo? 100% Kirk.

[@aaronavila4623]

Dude, i have a serious question, whenever I record myself playing my hand on the fretboard it looks horrible, I've tried a lot to fix it and I can't find information on this subject, but seeing you playing I can't believe it looks so good, I wanted to know if you went through the same thing or it worked out for you natural, and if so, how can I fix it? PD:This Is not hate but the thumbnail says Hetfied and not Hetfield, anyway good playing man!

[@ibrahimbirdal]

Thanks I changed the thumbnail I studied classical guitar at University and it helped very much, my fingers was flying before, I did the basic 1234, 1324... etc. exercises every day for a year, slowly keeping them in the correct position by carefully following the movements of the fingers. Nowadays actually I feel my fingers about to fly again I need to do that exercies again

Minor detail, but you use the S&M2 cover image when you play Ecstacy. It’s not from that record though, nor is it played during that concert. It is from the Ennio Morricone tribute record from 2007, called We All Love Ennio Morricone

Technically, it is played on S&M2 but not by Metallica. The orchestra performed it to start off the concert.
