You suck at guitar

[@noveldohanif]

True man 😂

[@fotisalatas3698]

Late to the part but I concur😊

[@Sturmpionier]

The riff played at about 2:00 is actually a bass line. That's cliff burton distorting the bass in the intro

[@corbenmatthews9890]

Yep. He also uses a wah pedal

[@drink_your_tapwater]

Panzerknacker43 yeah he said that, but there is also a layered guitar harmonising with the bass

[@kkadnar]

I'm totally unsure about that - i hear no guitar doubling it. I even found isolated tracks for everything in this song (the account holder who uploaded them has since been booted), and i feel certain it's all bass.

[@Sturmpionier]

@@drink_your_tapwater It's only the bass. Look up any of the live performances. The riff itself was one of Cliff Burtons original samples before he joined Metallica and was also the very riff that made James Hetfield and Lars to seek him out. They honestly thought he was a guitarist because of the distortion and playing methods he used. The Cliff Em All video is the best example.

[@tykemattinson859]

That's because cliff was the greatest bassist of all time.

[@YoDawgoneeleven]

FWTBT was tuned this way to match the sharpness of the bell throughout. Little fun fact of the day for ya

YoDawgoneeleven what’s a ftwhatever you said?

[@Tcrumpen]

Also note, when doing the fast power chords riff, if you're finding hard to go from a 6th string power chord to a 5th string chord, you can use a power chord at the 7th fret on the 6th string (same notes)

[@Hondo_O-C1anka]

This song was my first Metallica experience. I have never been the same. Best 5 minutes of my life

[@hacked2831]

I started watching your videos about 6 months ago , and not to brag but im pretty good now, thank you sooooo much you've helped me become a better guitarist than I was before , thank you so much !

[@kanshou]

You're the one of the only teachers and the only cover of this song that address the harmony in the beginning. 10-9-8-7 during the x-0-2-2 power chord. It's SO heard on the song, how can almost everyone ignore it?

[@joshmartell5558]

I'm not 100% sure but I think that line is played on bass, so often in guitar lessons they don't include it because it isn't technically a "guitar" riff (I personally like it played on guitar and totally agree with you)

[@pnuemicking7347]

Thats the bass so most people don’t bother teaching it on guitar. I think it’s cool to know on guitar anyway though

[@Unclassifiedchicken]

[@andykromer3529]

That higher octave on the bass intro is actually Cliff playing a tapped harmonic, if you listen to it isolated they're actually panned so you can hear one more clearly if you isolate in one direction.

Omg I'm entering a world of pain with my fingers, but worth it!!!

[@88_TROUBLE_88]

3:59 I hate to be nitpicking but - are you certain that you are correctly ending that power chord run on the B power chord (on the 2nd run) rather than an A♯ (or B♭ - not sure how it's determined whether it's one or the other since they're the exact same key ¯\_(ツ)_/¯...)? Because it has always sounded like A♯ (B♭) to me as well as when I play along with the record (a pain in the ass to tune to since I always drop or raise anything and everything to E♭ with software), so I wonder if I am hearing it and playing it incorrectly or possibly - and I swear I'm not trying to be coming across as confrontational - but even the slightest possibility that _you're_ the one who has erred in this particular scenario..? I'm pretty sure it's the latter as opposed to the former since I've tried it both ways since seeing this video and it sounds wrong when I play it by your instruction here, all wobbly and dissonant.. And again, playing it with the A♯ / B♭ power chord aligns perfectly, so.. Goddam I'm sure this comes across as a nitpicking & trifling waste of time to raise issue over but I truly don't intent to be contrarian or anything but damn dude - it's making me 2nd guess my own ears now and wonder why (if I'm correct) no one else has pointed it out in the comments here =/ It's driving me batshit because I have a SERIOUS affliction of a form of OCD that keeps me stuck on something to the point of obsession until it reaches satisfactory resolution.. So, please forgive my uncertainty and help me out with this so I can get past it and move forward to the next piece of minutea I get to look forward to being subjugated with...

The b power chord is part of the scale, so it has to be it

@@happyduck5212 that's probably what this dude in the video thought too but if you listen closely and play along with it yourself you'll notice I'm right..

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Ktulu definitely followed closely by fight Fire with Fire.

[@chriseastlandart]

Probably Co'K is a similar hurdle as you noted about Orion, just so damn long! Kinda cool how you can you can draw comparisons between tunes on the trifecta albums. (e.g. Ktulu, Orion and To Live Is To Die) being dramatic instrumentals which kinda go on forever. Then you have Fight Fire w/ Fire, Battery, and Blackened, all three being rippers with instrumental moments up front, and all three precede title tracks. Collect 'em All!
