15 Levels Of Metallica Riffs - EASY TO HARD

[@JassyPabst]

*GIVEAWAY TIME: You can win a signed guitar pick and an autograph card if you can spot my stupid cutting mistake where I used a wrong take hahahah xD* Accidents happen I guess xD I always record 2-3 takes per riff and it happens in rare occasions that I mess up the right with the wrong take. 2 seconds in this video are off ;) Just as a hint. We already had 10 Iconic, 10 Hardest and 10 Easy Metallica riffs. Here are 15 levels of easy to hard Metallica guitar riffs for you guys! ... if you want to master the Metallica technique step by step ;) We are looking at some true classics such as For Whom The Bell Tolls, Enter Sandman, Fade to Black, Master Of Puppets, Dyer's Eve, Blackened and The Four Horsemen! The choices are based on my personal classification, so of course you can have a different opinion on that list haha. For me the hardest riff definitely was "Dyer's Eve" and the easiest "For Whom The Bell Tolls"! All riffs are produced by myself. I didn't use Metallica's original songs. There are 4 guitars in total playing, all recorded by me. Tell me what other riff lists you want to see in the comments below! #1 - For Whom The Bell Tolls - 0:00 #2 - Some Kind Of Monster - 0:52 #3 - Enter Sandman - 1:11 #4 - The Day That Never Comes - 1:34 #5 - Seek And Destroy - 2:08 #6 - Fade To Black - 2:22 #7 - Wherever I May Roam - 2:39 #8 - Am I Savage? - 3:02 #9 - Harvester Of Sorrow - 3:16 #10 - The Four Horsemen - 3:56 #11 - Battery - 4:12 #12 - Master Of Puppets - 4:42 #13 - Disposable Heroes -5:03 #14 - Blackened - 5:29 #15 - Dyer's Eve - 5:46 Tuning: All E Standard except for "Some Kind Of Monster" (Drop C) and "For Whom The Bell Tolls" (tuned to 444Hz) Stay tuned and rock on! Jassy // JJ's One Girl Band THANK YOU TO MY BF FOR SHOOTING THE VIDEO!

Cool list! Maybe it'd be a nice add-on to describe why one riff is harder than the other. I know speed is a thing but there're other aspects that defines a hard or an easy riff.

[@Garounours]

Hi Jassy, I think that I spotted your "wrong take" but rather difficult to notice it !! how can I propose my answer ?

[@kquinbar]

1:53-1:55? your playing chords on video but the song is playing the solo part? in The Day That Never Comes

[@JassyPabst]

The Metallica difficulty curve seems more like a difficulty wall. xD Easy, easy, playable | Blackened haha. I really need to finally learn MoP. I don't have the stamina for it, but I won't get there unless I try. This has been a very inspirational video, so thank you. It was an excellent idea. Working through these would do anyone a lot of good. Beautifully played too, of course. It sounds completely awesome! \m/

[@JassyPabst]

Well before Blackened there was Disposable Heroes and let me tell you: You need LOTS of stamina for playing that song xD

[@groso452]

You have to practice the stamina with a metronome and downpicking

[@JassyPabst]

@@groso452 no, alternative picking stamina is something really different compared to down picking stamina. You need totally different muscles for that. but that's just my opinion.

[@groso452]

@@JassyPabst yeah, I mean stamina for songs like master of puppets or blackened

[@nesto9889]

Honestly getting the stamina for everything except the solo (because I haven't even started on that) isn't too hard. After a few weeks it'll be there if you have a few runs a day.

Work made me miss the start of your premiere, but I've just caught up. Your riffs lists and enjoyment in playing guitar are really motivating - thank you for the music! I was able to play along with 8 of the first 9 songs, but after that it got a bit difficult! haha I can't find the cutting error and I've watched three times now - I guess I'm not very observative today :D

[@chrismair8161]

Just wanted to add a Good Story! My Brandon at work was going to (Propose a Very Important question.) to his Lady and wanted to sing a song written and performed by himself. I told him to use this Metallica song. ( Land mine took my legs..took my arms...take the ring!) He did giggle his ash off though. Turned out on the way to the Lake he had to put on the Superman cape to help others after they rolled their Vehicle. He lost the ring as it fell out of his pocket. Had to drive back to this accident scene and found it in the ditch. I told him it has to be Devine Intervention bud. The ditch gives nothing back to nobody! Just a Black Hole there. I'll watch this young bucks back anytime. This Riff ripping Lady has my over watch any and every time. Cheers Dove and do please Rock On!

[@YuriMesik]

Every time your new list I’m impressed with the widespread knowledge of metal riffs you chose. You have nailed the Hetfield tone it’s genuinely insane how accurate it is, all the riffs were played as one song, but this song has one drawback, it ends.=) Absolute ease of movement of hands and awesome dancing fingers, each chord performed is a piece of pure gold… I understand that tomorrow at breakfast I will have big problems, because from such purity of sounding my lower jaw dropped, and I still can't find it =) the effort you put in producing your videos so professionally, top sound quality. Thank you so much for the video and the awesome game. =)

[@FidgetMDCCLXIV]

1. Fight Fire With Fire (pre-chorus riff) Extremely fast and precise finger movements on palm muted 16th notes at 184 BPM. 2. Master of Puppets (pre-3rd verse riff) Downpicking, string skipping, mix between open and palm muted notes, and 4 16th notes are featured in there. Yes, 215 BPM. 3. Dyers Eve I could literally pick any riff in the song. Overall this is the hardest song.

[@even7steven]

Your riffs were pretty spot on! My personal number one is "Jump in the Fire", it's a simple riff but I have a hard time keeping pace.

[@franb70]

[@mitachakraborty1541]

Excellently done ... Dyers Eve riff is really difficult even though it may sound simple

[@JassyPabst]

To me it doesn’t even sound simple 😂

[@jabedoben]

During the speed picking riff at the beginning of Dyers Eve, James is not alternating between B and C, even though the tab book says that he is. He's just heavily muting the B, which makes it sound like he's alternating notes. You can confirm this by watching them play it live.

[@JassyPabst]

I know =) But actually you won't even hear a difference when it's 2323 or 2222, I did that for the snowflakes who would complain that I "play it the easy way" xD But I think nothing is played wrong when it sounds right haha! You can watch my take on the "Hardest Metallica Riffs List", there I play both versions and you cannot hear any difference =)

Jassy, I want to say that you're amazing as always, congrats on your personal riff list from easy to hard. Awesome job. As to other Metallica riff list, I have two suggestions: 1. You could do a video like this, a riff list from easy to hard, but from underrated Metallica songs. Or 2. A riff list from easy to hard, but from one song of each Metallica's album (from the first album to the latest album). I guess it could be a cool content in the future, I'm not sure if anyone has ever done something like this before, but who knows. I know both must take a lot of time to be done, however you rock.
