How to play 'Ride The Lightning' by Metallica Guitar Solo Lesson w/tabs pt1

[@jayconstancio711]

How many people comeback to these multiple times just to hear him play it. I learned so much from you chris thanks for the help.

[@Mr29Tiger]

"one more time with the tabs" Time Markers: Section 1 - 4:05 Section 2 - 9:00 Section 3 - 13:10 Section 4 - 15:51 you know... for those like me who need to jump around a couple of times to memorize this stuff ;)

[@bebarshosnie8751]

Mr29Tiger i hate tabs

[@rudyzibar4136]

thnx m8

[@ButtmanRises]

Bebars Hosnie shut up dingus he did a great job.Thank you stranger!

[@ButtmanRises]

I salute you, Big Dick Boy

[@Keeping-It-Real-55]

This a a strong compliment Chris. I have been on youtube doing lessons from every person I could find. You are by far the fastest and cleanest player of anyone on youtube I have ran across. Even the hardest Avenged Sevenfold songs you seem to be almost bored playing them. You have incredible skills. I would wager you are better than a lot of the guitarists that write these songs. MAD SKILLS bro!!!! Any band would be lucky to have you. If I had your skills, I would be interviewing for some big bands if and when the opportunity arose. Keep doing what your doing. You lessons are amazing and have helped me tremendously.

[@jakubturlinski7159]

he slows down the recordings to learn these solos by ear. note for note. as well as that he has been a guitar player for over 20 years so he's had enough time to improve his general technique and speed

[@N_Richd1]

Fk yeah he's awesome..!!

[@MsDavo123]

He deserves only STRONG COMPLIMENTS!

[@TheStrick1976]

Fuck yeah I second that opinion.

[@dannyzuko7182]

And he does all this without a pick...

[@naveidsiddiqi4512]

Chris .. Honestly you are the BEST freakin guitar teacher hands down! I am playing songs I could only dream of because of you!

[@RamchulloSanate]

Exactly

[@therazorsedge5259]

You deserve a lot more subscribers!

[@ThrasherTobi]

With this video, it is even possible for me to learn a Hammett solo. Thank you Chris

[@gdr1174]

Chris has shown me the way to learning solos I never thought I'd ever be able to play.. huuge respect to him

[@thydemise9323]

Kirk's best ever solo in my opinion.. Brilliant job!

[@miguelsaraiva1013]

Agreed

[@Rockdrigoo93lml]

Chris, thank you so much for your lessons, I'm learning a lot everyday, working hard to improve my speed. Your tutorials are the best on youtube!

[@myworstenemy680]

Anyone else feel tired after watching him play that? Great job btw.

[@danimgurung6641]

+MyworstEnemy yeah me... :D

[@logankollatt2857]

funny you say that I feel a sleep imaging it was me

[@vessaliusnrml5378]

Usually, when I can't play a solo from tabs, I can't learn it watching youtube either, I don't know what's happening but you made it work my man

[@Drewer222]

What the hell! Chris just uploaded a video of the petition from many subscribers who were asking since a long time ago and people here are like crazy already asking for more covers, come on guys give the guy a break he is a good teacher and deserves to do the solos he likes and wants to do and teach us. By the way awesome cover Chris, you are a really good teacher, keep always doing a good job!

[@bjwalters8385]

Great videos! You are hands down the best teacher I've come across. I've never been able to just grasp onto the solos the first time, but I watched your Orion videos and got it the first try! Thanks Chris!

[@OfekAG12]

Chris I want to thank you because I'm getting alot better thanks to your videos and I couldn't do that without you, keep up the good work, you are awesome :)

[@paulallenscard8553]

Thanks for the lesson, Chris! This helped me so much. But after the tapping part inthe beginning, instead of sliding from 8 to 10 on the B string, Kirk taps the 14th fret of the G string.

[@Warlock73]

Awesome! I was having trouble with that transition.

[@MsDavo123]

Thats what I saw in Carl browns lesson in fact it help a lot with transition!

[@mattman1127]

I always get so excited when I look up a song I want to learn and I see you in a thumbnail. I appreciate you very much

[@yoitsmegabe]

Still working on creeping death and I'm glojg to tackle this next. Great explanation and playing mate. You have a knack for teaching this stuff. Thanks a million for taking the time to do this. Peace

[@Warlock73]

You and I are working on exactly the same stuff! In my opinion, these are Kirk's best solos.

[@teylorfernandez9286]

A Fight Fire with Fire solo lesson would be awesome!

[@Jim21680]

Lightning ridden!! Nice job buddy...you rocked it.

[@joshmain9094]

thanks so much chris. whenever I need to learn a solo I go to you. you are literally the best guitar teacher on KZbin

[@gotyamaywritedat8560]

oh my fucking god! i think this shit will take me forever..

[@MsDavo123]

Not at all its technically not challenging!

[@brianwillson2768]

remember me too watching and learning how to play solos by Chris's videos, gosh 8 years just flew away af😢

[@shreder89]

goddammit, i love this guy! that was spot on!

[@marco327]

Nice cover dude!! Sounds awesome!!

[@James-cc2hb]

Man Chris I know this video is old and you don’t mess with KZbin much anymore but man I wanna say I really appreciate the time you’ve put into doing these videos so that people like me can play stuff like this note for note.. Thanks a lot Chris we love you man keep rockin🤘🏻🥃

[@maxbasford2633]

I'd just like to say Chris...You are a legend! It seems that most of your comments are pretty much people demanding other songs (ahem...myself included on other videos) and I just wanted to take the time to say that what you do is awesome and very much appreciated :) 'Like' to show Chris some well deserved appreciation!!!

[@carlparker3rd]

Best teacher on KZbin

[@TheStrick1976]

Thank you this is the greatest breakdown I have seen on the tube.....beast mode savage no chill muchos gracious.

[@MetallicaTheRipper]

Chris Zoupa Has just become a legend! Thanks for the lesson bro.

[@MrBelmontcain]

thanks for this! i had parts of this solo wrong for years.I think the official tab book is a little off in spots,but your version is spot on

[@nateryan1]

I think his version is actually off in some spots. It's a pretty good rendition and it fits the backing track, but there are a few intricacies in the official version that make it easy harder than this version. I'll stick with this though haha

[@DRTyD]

Great job! I love this solo! I can't play it myself as a beginner, so can't comment on it's difficulty (nearly everything looks hard), but it's really not about that for me. This is a great example of why I love Hammett's writing. So much mood and melody; it's so memorable that is sticks in your head note for note, and that to me is what really makes a great solo. It compliments the song perfectly.

[@shred9475]

I am an experienced player. It is average in difficulty. Difficult solos are like tornado of souls/ fermented offaldoscharge

[@g_alvarez]

Your lessons are perfect man, keep up the good work!

[@SuperSossossos]

this is one of the solos which prove that kirk is a great guitar player

[@edrowley]

Awesome job man! I look forward to all of your lessons!

[@Joelweech]

dude, one of my favorite solos. Your vid is helping me learn it now!! It's like Christmas but I've got to work for it! Peace and love

[@franciscosakodatelles8819]

Chris, I'm from Brazi. You are the man! Thank's for your lesson!

[@MrHardanheavy]

Ok, I've learned this part now :) Thank you very much, Chris. Keep on rocking!

[@rorbot_SMF]

I really like the way you teach it. You tell what you're doing, stick to main points, and provide tabs as you go along. All of that makes me appreciate your videos more. Definitely earned the sub! 👍

[@conrauxyann5398]

Once more, thank you very much Chris for this pleasant lesson !

[@papook]

Thanks really I learned it right now by you I'm really glad now because of this solo that i know Even I learned unforgiven solo by you Thanks again power full man

[@chalinovargaz6495]

one of the most epic solos!

[@laszlojakucs711]

one of my favorite solo.Professional video Great job.

[@JamesMcMurrey]

[@Czartor645]

[@smallbuj7605]

MIght seems like a dumb question, but where the hell does the pick disapear when you tap O.o lol

[@PallicerGuitars]

he uses his nail

[@smallbuj7605]

Holy mother of god lol

[@sethrich6012]

Haha!!

[@paulallenscard8553]

I used to wonder the same thing, Small Buj, but Chris explains in his guitar shredding & speed video that he uses the nail of his middle finger.

[@Khamûl0fTheEast]

you can use your nail or the pick

[@sebastianvergarajaramillo8529]

I just learn ride the lightning solo yesterday with the tabs ñ-ñ and you do the lesson the next day!!! :c good lesson anyway

[@YavuzErol]

Yessss. Finally thank you Chris! You rock man. You are a inspiration

[@denglish5]

Ive been using songster and they have a bend on that 16th fret B string at about 10 mins in. Sounds really cool with it but i like these tabs too

[@franciscolomeli2765]

You're the best Chris, Greetings from México City 🤘🏻

[@MrClyMax]

[@ThrasherJames]

THANK YOU CHRIS. THIS IS GOLD

[@Carburador_de_santana_518]

thanks bro, easy way to learn this masterpiece

[@xlolxism]

there are generations, that pride themselves on living through II WW, on drinking from the first bottles of Coca-Cola.. i'll be telling my grandkids, that I had the privelege to watch Chris Zoupa cover Ride The Lightning solo, thanks for that, Sir!

[@darthmatt4891]

Those cords on 5:00 minutes are you muting the other strings with your middle finger and ring finger cause i get a really loud low E string sound when i do it it doesnt sound as smooth as yours

[@amrickdhillon1283]

Chris, thank you so much for this totally amazing solo! you are a TOP NOTCH guitarist! \m/

[@stevstrums23]

[@Lebanese55]

[@rogerdelbarco]

The day that never comes - Metallica that solo is amazing bro... Please

[@NeepThePeep]

My salmon pink discount store guitar only has 22 frets and i'm struggling to get my hand down there on that 22 bend, when I get a better guitar im going for 24 frets cause this is ridiculous

[@myworstenemy680]

+NeepThePeep I feel ya man. I'm playing my 22 fret tele right now. My next guitar must have 24 frets lol.

[@myworstenemy680]

+NeepThePeep I feel ya man. I'm playing my 22 fret tele right now. My next guitar must have 24 frets lol.

[@mikemerifield5708]

[@sagarock1012]

thanks a lot

Muchas gracias! lml Saludos desde Lima- Perú! lml

[@dmitryustinov1958]

Awesome! Russia with you,Chris!

[@SomethinWild]

Man you do all of this without a pick?? Insane.

[@MsDavo123]

I have spent all my day went through all three parts of this truly beautiful solo I would say this is one of the best Kirk's solos so melodic and heavy metalish! Chris THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this videos! However one question I also trust to the lessons of Carl brown and I saw lots of differences in the way he teaches this solo any comments on that?So who is right and who is wrong so to speak?

[@AtrociousSal]

Please chris do motorbreath by metallica on the kill em all album, there are two solos

[@paulallenscard8553]

We need Motorbreath!!

[@1ht996]

the new album is trash

[@AtrociousSal]

1 Ht9 k

[@James-hh1lq]

1 Ht9 new album is awesome .

[@smedenbandit]

Thanks man. great lessons

[@jamesmoore3879]

I'd like it if you could do more to help transition in between the sections. I have no idea how I'm supposed to make the jump from section 2 to section 3, and the original track goes so quickly it's really difficult to listen for. Playing with a metronome might help too on the slower parts, there are parts where you seem to freeze on some notes. I'm guessing that's intentional, maybe for emphasis, but it's hard for me to really get an idea for the actual duration of each note

[@GoFindAsafeSpace]

You got chops bro🤘😌 also, I need to get rid of my EMGs...those ducans sound GREAT!!!!

[@amirmousavi6183]

You are legend of Awesomeness !!!

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Nice freaking job man! You are good shit in my books bro. Thanks!

[@chrishargreaves8016]

Man, you are amazing! What model Schecter is that?

[@PowerFilms210]

Killed that solo!

[@aslamkahn9402]

You're amazing! Could you please do a tutorial on soothsayer by Buckethead?

[@TheMechanix84]

Dude can you make a disposable heroes solo lesson pls

[@BrandonTorres7529]

what I find difficult about this solo and a lot of solos in general is muting the strings. can anyone share any tips and trick or share some sort of comprehensive guide when it comes to muting strings while soloing? it'd be greatly appreciated.

[@axlh.1827]

Love the appetite and BSSM albums

[@clugokillscluco]

Thanks Chris, I've been playing this one for a while but I learned something on that F# pentatonic run that you do that'll make it easier for me to play. By the way what is a Dugong?

[@jayyoutube8790]

Wow.. Flawless.. Great job brotha

[@nicky8866]

[@SlushBoxJunikee]
