How to play 'Creeping Death' by Metallica Guitar Solo Lesson

[@TheRadicalHybrid]

This channel is the discovery of my life! Best guitar teacher on youtube when it comes to solos!

[@Rouwiinator]

+TheRadicalHybrid If He only could pretend that the things he does are hard for him I'd feel a lot better

[@jeremyadriani539]

Rouwiinator hi

[@drjuicebox1361]

Totally this guy deserves much more credit

[@sushio4357]

I agree. Good old KZbin when there was quality content. Sadly this channel died.

[@Jakevoss96]

he is spot on, no added frills, completely accurate to the studio recording, i appreciate it immensely

[@nabua4167]

man, you genuinely teach the hardest solos so easily, calmly and non intimidatingly. I absolutely love you! god bless

[@jorgesierra6420]

It took me 2 months of practicing for 4+ hours But I finally finished! Great tutorial.

[@mantisshrimp8019]

I’m trying to get there I have a gig oct 31 so I have about the same amount of time wish me luck!

[@chriszoupa7898]

My love of bacon is a pretty important part of who I am. I just.... Wanted to come clean.

[@drjuicebox1361]

Lol I love bacon too. One of my friends would always have bacon as a midnight snack

[@chriszoupa7898]

I did a cowboys ep ages ago. It's somewhere in my videos (heaps of them sorry) if you can be bothered going through all the crap... Sorry! I'm hoping to do the sleep, cemetery gates and floods at some point.

[@Gbreadyt]

I’ve been learning creeping death for a bit now and even though this video is 11 years old at this moment, it’s still the best one I’ve seen for learning this solo - Chris ur the man

[@heilvictory729]

I've found to learn Kirk's solos you should learn Tony iommis first. Very similar blues type tricks. But Kirk speeds them up. So...it's a good way to learn.

[@peesnlav]

this goes for almost any 80s metal guitarist

[@1alexanderkup1]

it's been a years trying to learn the solo, freaking hard thanks for the best tutorial

[@scraps1239]

Chris Zoupa This is my favorite Metallica song! I know how to play all of Jame's parts and all of Kirk's parts except this solo haha. Thanks to you I can learn it quickly and easily. You kick ass man! I'm 17 and I've been playing for almost a year now and your videos have helped my progress tremendously. Thanks so much. I also wanted to request some solos off the Death Magnetic album. I've been trying really hard to learn "That Was Just Your Life" that would be awesome if you could do a lesson for it.

[@mikemerifield5708]

does anyone else notice that there is a bend at the 22nd fret in every kirk hammett solo. Not a bad thing. -_____-

[@4572dk]

same with mustaine

[@Sandarpan]

That's because their songs are almost always in E Minor and they bend the D on 22 to the E on 24.

[@4572dk]

Sandarpan and don't forget it was the 80s xD

[@evanhooper1]

Kirk also tended to use 22 fret guitars quite often.

[@4572dk]

+Evan Hooper (Aluminia) yes all his esps have 24 bur he used Vs and les Paul's in the early days which had 22

[@andreasweiss1230]

The best lesson. When I started to learn ist on my own it was horrible. With this lesson I learned it in a few days. Amazing lesson. Thank you for that

[@LucasTheUltimate]

Learning even the hardest solos becomes so easy thanks to you Chris, Thanks for your awesome tutorials!

[@trbray77]

Thanks, Chris. We decided to add this to our set list as a cover, and the solo was so much easier to learn as you laid it out. Much quicker than tab! Much appreciated! Cheers!

[@lexloud]

Thank you for your lessons! It is very cool. I do not speak English, but still learn from your video is easy. Keep up the great work))

[@fxexpert4541]

Always loved your short straight to the point intro! Keep up mate

[@jayhallman6666]

14:23 “Then it goes into this!” 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 Oh, is that all! lol For real tho. Theses are good lessons. I learn a lot from this guy.

[@crm321]

I finally learned this pain in the ass and you helped me every step of the way. Thanks for everything you do, Chris!

[@chriszoupa7898]

A fluffy panda pleasure fluffy.

[@reybarrera9345]

Never thought I could learn this solo but it's much easier than it seems! Great video man thanks!

[@RudyG210]

Man u deserve more views and subs. Ur a badass soloist. U make it look easy

[@Phoenix-rh3xr]

You can learn a whole song with this time.thats how hard this solo is

[@Guitarrman]

Great job, man! One of the best lessons on YT! And awesome skill. Keep it up! Cheers!

[@mickyygliddon768]

bacon lover/ shredologist / Zen master, My guitaring is going from strength to strength thanks to your no nonsense teachings.

[@ml3chef695]

absolute legend, you legit are my guitar teacher and inspiration

[@husamhaji7927]

the best solo teacher ive seen on youtube \m/ keep it up bro !

[@connornyhan8369]

thank you so much dude this is my dream solo and i just learned it

[@agentdoodo299]

Lot of Metallica's 'fast' songs don't have great solos. They sound the same. But when you give Hammett a mid-tempo song, he fucking nails it.

[@theextinctsurgeon310]

Jamz Hatefeel fight fire with fire and dyers eve solos are great,mop. battery, terrible

[@agentdoodo299]

The Extinct Surgeon Battery was horrible. Dyers Eve was just whammy bar dives and Fight Fire With Fire was ok, at best. I like the harmonisation though

[@theextinctsurgeon310]

Jamz Hatefeel dyers eve was great, fight fire with fire great, battery terrible, damage inc great, metal militia great,

[@agentdoodo299]

The Extinct Surgeon Damage Inc is currently my favorite Metallica song.

[@theextinctsurgeon310]

Jamz Hatefeel its an awesome song. mine is dyers eve

[@marshmccarthy]

Wow surprisingly way easier than I expected! But then again this guy is a god guitar teacher

[@briankisner5035]

Cleaner than Kirk himself

[@sethh20man14]

not true

[@634983]

true

[@TheSteinbitt]

About half the speed and about as clean I'd say. But sounds lame and smooth compared to Hammets style.

[@rizalkhan]

Thank you so much for this. It took me a week of practice to master this.

[@Takasmarakas1337]

Amazing tutorial man! been stuck on this one for a while, but i guess my ear just isnt fast enough...saw your vid and now i know one of my favorite solos!! Awesome!

[@lucasrandolphguitar8292]

All I can say is that your an excellent teacher

[@bradleynoe3400]

Thank you for this! Excellent Teacher. Your videos are the best.

[@ZestBomb128]

I actually cant learn these solos any other way. Thank you lord.

[@chriszoupa7898]

Thanks dude. Too kind!

[@rhyyrrfrieg4656]

you teach so well. i just recently discovered you on you tube and couldn't wait to subscribe

[@Lapis012]

Thank you very mutch Chris :D Love this solo, especially the melodic part

[@Gaatiitooh]

pretty good man , its kinda hard for me since i speak spanish and not the entire english but i can still understand all the things u say while i play , thx for making this video since a lot of tabs are really inaccurate :) cheers

[@StueyDoo]

Awesome lesson man, thanks. I can now play this solo....just not yet at speed

[@rogerleal7999]

Amazing teacher and great class !

[@ayybudayy]

Thanks for these videos.

[@chriskoehler3236]

thanks so much man! Your tutorials are excellent!

[@xarhsify]

man you are the best. after master of puppets you teach me the creeping death. ty dude :)

[@bzine3428]

I never thought Hammett knew how to sweep

[@waterblonk]

Everyone can sweep those 3-notes-in-a-row arpeggios

[@slaytalldeth18]

Check out call of ktulu and leper messiah for other Kirk solos that have sweeps.

[@Lapis012]

waterblonk fck that.. kirk was my idol coz i love his style, and i'm good at those kind of stuff.. but i'm fckin horrible at sweeping.

[@BrianWalters97]

Mustar Majonéz Welcome to the family! i suck at sweeping too xD

[@grishamorrison273]

Mustar Majonéz man, sweep is so easy really. U need to catch this right hand motion.

[@danielfrancoismalherbe6803]

very detailed tutorial, thanks so much! you're a great player, man! keep up the headbanging :)

[@chriszoupa7898]

Yep. I don't trust tabs more than my ears!

[@aridavies9501]

Chris, you are the best there is

[@AviationGames]

plus guys if youre wondering how to get the screeching sound at the end just run your pick down the fretboard over the E string

[@stevenaustin4591]

Hey Chris, nice work on this solo tutorial, very helpful in showing us the right notes for the faster runs etc. quick question, dyou ever try tackle any stuff like Slipknot riffs etc? Im having a bit of trouble with an opening riff for a song called prosthetics. as far as I can work out, Mick is using a ring modulator, some delay, pitch shifted down an octave and some slight phasing too. But because the fx are so thick its hard to sus the EXACT notes he's playing. closest I can get is somewhere around frets 7-9 on the low B and F# strings. dyou think you could take a listen and see if you can figure it out? plz, and thanks in advance!

[@nicky8866]

i feel so honored ,, you took my advice :) .. good job chris \m/

[@devinownzz]

Yes yes yes i've requested this solo too :D ! Really thnx dude i'm really happy now hha :D ! You're the best man love your vids !!!!

[@logankollatt2857]

That dang sweep gets me

[@raikouruby001]

Chris/ pokemon trainer/ vegemite enthousiast , it would be an honour if you could kindly do "Lucretia" by Megadeth, I know they're a hassle Marty's solos, but there's really no other tutorials for the solo online, and its a kickass solo, thanks for all the videos and greetings from Canada :D!!!

[@abhinav3317]

[@pugitopitapayle7055]

0:59 how to bend the e string on that height ? my high e string tuned tightly and can't bend on that height. Someone answer Pls.

[@LordButterstotch]

Try using more than one finger when u do any bend use ur ring to fret it middle and pointer to add power and strength

[@pugitopitapayle7055]

I use my 3 fingers for bending but my Problem is when i'm trying to bend the string on that height it feels like it's going to break because its tuned very tight. (Excuse my English)

[@abhinav3317]

Use 0.009 gauge. If that doesn't work, Use 0.008's If you still have problems, you need to practice bending first...

[@pugitopitapayle7055]

Abhinav Bairathi Thank you for the tip bro i'll try 0.009 gauge!

[@EdmondBarcan]

Abhinav Bairathi Dude, I have 0.013 or such and bend from 21 to 24 without any problems. I have only 21 frets.

[@salmon020]

awesome lesson bro! this really helped me touch up bits i used to play that were wrong.. :D if you're into pantera you should do some dime lessons man, like cowboys from hell or cemetery gates, that'd be awesome!

[@PancakeBox]

Thank you so much!!! Now I need to memorize it all and work on the rythm. D:

[@pabloamgarcia28]

Great incredible teacher! keep going bro! you´re awesome!

[@goddenmusic]

sweet dude thanks, very clear good lesson!!

[@H4CKCID]

Hey man awesome video thanks! On the bluesy/rocky thing at 5:00, are you supposed to bend both of the g and b string on the 14th fret? I didn't really get that point..

[@tihor992]

can you do the battery solo please

[@ddupper]

Your a legend you explain it a bit too last but overall awesome!

[@chrishargreaves8016]

I don't suppose you could do one of these for the solo in Ride the Lightning could you?

[@georgepop5233]

Very goood!!!can i sing this with a 9 gauge ??

[@Sychothera]

How much time you needed to learn this part (11:43 -11:46)

[@korn69100]

What guitar are u playing? Looks awesome!!!

[@urielalesandromariscal2423]

wooow!!!! hey did you have the tab or a link from the tab???

[@mattbenner1820]

Spot on! 👍

[@josefhmusic]

Can you do a lesson on arch enemy nemesis solo? the tabs use 23 fret on the high E but MIchael plays the solo on a different way..Could you do a lesson?

[@Fluuxxy]

Please could you do a solo lesson of Metallica - that was just your life? 😊

[@darrinconnor7]

Is Wahmett still able to play these solo's live?

[@paulallenscard8553]

*Hammett can still play these solos live. (A bit sloppy, though.)

[@Walamonga1313]

He skips some stuff

[@reybarrera9345]

I saw them last year and there’s no rust there

[@dylangajdosik964]

Can you redo this one please with tabs. I know there are others out there, but I enjoy your channel and you seem to get pretty accurate tabs.

[@simonrourke1978]

Jeez, amazing how much patience you must have to a) learn these soles

[@101tmann]

it would be sick if you could maybe do some more black veil brides!

[@NYRAPPERFULL]

Section 6 is amazing

[@pablosanchezcordoba]

Keed doing the good work!

[@stormhunter77]

Amazing as usual :)

[@nicky8866]

btw,, how do you feel about this solo ? compared to your opinion on nothing else matters solo?

Awesome.

[@pablitomerguez]

Really nice one!!! I'll give a try on this one later :D
