Does nobody remember guitar magazines having tabs in them? Am I that old? Apart from probably learning the majority by ear, between (likely) guitar tabs in a magazine, and listening to the song over and over, he easily could have mastered the song very quickly. Clearly the biggest (and possibly only true) metal head in Hawkins was very skilled at guitar and would have spent lots of time learning the songs he loved, new and old.

[@elizabethclairewolfrosenda3391]

Try 3 weeks to learn it not a year 😉 Season 4 (per official confirmation from the production team) starts on March 22 1986, all the main action in the final ep (when Eddie's playing this) happens March 27, and the "2 days later" that the season ends on is March 29th (ironically Billy Hargrove's birthday per the gravestone they show us).

This scene is actually very well thought and has two layers: First is the obvious reference to Henry Creel(Vecna) as a "Master of Puppets". I reckon i don't need to explain the reasons. xD The second is Eddie's character development, maturing and an atonement for his past deeds. Not surprised it went over many people's heads, and only fans of Metallica understood it(Everyone agrees it was cool AF though xD). The song Master of Puppets is first of all an anti-drug song, so when Eddie dedicates this song to Chrissy, he does not only refer to Vecna, but also to himself. It's both tribute to her and an apology from a nice guy who did bad things for living. One of my favourite characters of this show(And definitely favourite character of this season. Him and Yuri . The guy is hilarious, and is played by one of my favourite actors. x'D) His duality is what makes the character interesting to me. Hero and the coward(as he considers himself to be outside of D&D campaigns). He proved to be the hero in the end.
