In this Am I Evil? guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this popular Metallica cover in it's entirety.
This cover of a Diamond Head song originally appeared as a B-side of their single "Creeping Death" in 1984. The cover was re-released on their 1998 covers album Garage Inc..
The tuning is standard tuning.
In the first video lesson, I will demonstrate all of the rhythm guitar parts in the order that they appear in the song. In addition to that, I will cover Kirk Hammett's quick little solo in the intro of the song as well.
The main riffs are pretty simple, but a little later in the song, there are some thrash style rhythms that can be a bit tricky.
In the second video, I will cover Kirk Hammett's epic solo note-for-note.
There is a lot going on in this solo, with some very musical sections and others that are complete chaos.
I will go through the solo phrase-by-phrase.
I hope you enjoy learning this great Metallica cover! #amievilguitarlesson #metallica #guitarcovers

[@julianmaehre11]

Mhm (:

[@danielnava6235]

FOR WHOM?????!!!! THE PHANTOM LOORD -James Hetfield 1984 Do that one Carl lol

[@lawrencehall1235]

I am 2 years late to the party as ever.. **thinks** "I'd love specifically to learn to play the Metallica version of Am I Evil. I wonder if Guitar365 has got this down yet?" Always on point, thanks again Carl!

[@ΕυθύμηςΖαφειρίου]

Great lesson! Try Hallowed be thy name by Iron Maiden

[@Handler101]

Sir ,You are doing a noble social service

[@arsehole5795]

Awesome! I suggest Sweating Bullets by Megadeth.

[@mc12358]

Really needed to see that last bridge riff at 7:16. Slightly different from the tabs I've seen but sounds much more like the Garage Days recording. However the most impressive thing in this video? Chugging on a Floyd Rose and it stayed in tune, bravo! 👏

[@justinneves2607]

As a Metallica fan, I do say I heard diamond heads version first and like it better as well, aside from that your lessons rock and with my boss loop station I’m playing all parts of some songs and the friends are amazed.. so thank you!!

[@deltadaz]

Great video again, Carl makes it easy for us, my advice would be for everyone to try working from the recordings of songs, then come here to check your work. great teacher thanks Carl

[@pouyaman298]

Metallica The Eye Of The Beholder please! So underrated and i cant find any decent lesson on the song.

[@russell90ful]

fantastic I'm guessing this is out of my level being a beginner but I want to learn this so much so what if I'm trying to run before I can walk it's keeping me motivated to practice ain't that what it's about surprised it's in standard tuning got to learn my power chords thanks for video

[@emreozsoy8563]

Actually main riff is pretty easy

[@mc12358]

Easier than Sandman for me (main riff at least) Now Kirk's solo from the Garage Days EP? WAY outta my league!

[@Andre-no7lv]

Please, do the SOLO of Beyond the Realms of Death by Judas Priest.

[@timfletch]

Super fun and a relatively easy one! If you do another tallica, Holier than thou would be fantastic! I havent been able to find a good lesson on that one at all

[@byrdman023able]

Disposable Heros!

[@ddennt7800]

can you please do holy diver by dio?

[@kairichtmann28]

This is the only good guitar lesson channel

[@SinTreZzzzzzzz]

The day that never comes please!!

[@URFAVORITEGUITARIST]

For the lick in the intro the one with the hammer on pull offs that comes right before the main riff is easier to tap it sounds cool too. You keep the same movement with the left hand but instead of lifting you hand up to hit the open string you tap from the 12 fret (the octave) to hit the same note but it sounds more Kirk Hammett-y

[@junglejim0001]

Just watching your fingers playing power chords I was amazed. I use my index and pinky too. Thought I was doing it wrong but you do it that way too. So thanks I just thought I was a bad player. Only been playing 2 years and it’s the most comfortable way I can play power chords.

[@GuitarLessons365SongLessons]

Hetfield and Hammett to! 🤘

[@junglejim0001]

GuitarLessons365Song wow so defo no because I’m rubbish then. Given me a good boost there. Thanks.
