🔥🔥 can you do Turn the Page, but with Kirk’s slider?

[@illbeinyourband]

Lol. I hadn’t considered doing any covers of covers! I’ll think on that.

[@ryanarnold9524]

Nice can you do escape for another one by metallica

[@illbeinyourband]

I will get there eventually, for sure. My plan is to do these through kill em all and then ride the Lightning.

[@HavocMusic1759]

Any tips for playing the bridge cleanly without the noisy harmonic like sound?

[@illbeinyourband]

That’s all about the muting technique. It’s a combination of right hand and left hand muting. It’s really just something that comes with experience and practice. I would slow down and try to experiment with lifting your left hand fingers slightly in between notes and using your palm to cut off noise

Can you please do Jump in the fire

[@illbeinyourband]

[@championspirit3755]

Been working on this lead for a week now it's a tough too learn...

[@pigeonfarmboy]

Just when I was about to ask you how you learn solos haha!

[@illbeinyourband]

Oh yeah! I learn by ear, for the benefits of doing so. Plus I find that tabs usually aren’t even worth the effort of looking them up. Plus, everyone plays things a bit differently, so trying to force myself to play another’s position

[@tylerparizeau7462]

For some reason I've spent hours trying to play the hammer on pull off riff super tight and can not get it up to speed. My pick gets caught or I don't fret the note fast enough. I'm also like inside picking it I guess you'd call it. I can play almost this whole album tight so idk why this one is such a hassle. Any tips?

[@illbeinyourband]

Hi sorry for the late reply. It’s a bit tricky up to speed. The way I play this is downstrokes on the A and E single notes, and up strokes on the chords. Since it has the pull off, it gives you time to travel up to the E for the 2nd down stroke. Then there is no inside picking.

[@mattelisar1343]

I'll play with you bro
