Kirk Hammett - The Unforgiven (solo)

[@huskybrutor9287]

30 years later and it can still make me tear up.

[@martinkuliza]

Ain't it the truth

[@sergeysorokin1613]

I totally agree. All the bends are out of tune, the picking, legato and vibrato are completely out of rhythm. Tears from the eyes and blood from the ears. I can't believe how could such a beautiful song be ruined by such a disgusting performance of the guitar solo...

It just rips. Bob pissed him off and he ripped it out

[@GhANeC]

I think everyone gives bob way too much credit. Kirk did what he inevitably was going to do sooner or later, DESPITE bob being a prick as well as wanting him to go home “do homework”, but only later and unhappy.

[@martinkuliza]

And.... in 1 take

[@thegodless2904]

@@martinkuliza not one take.

[@martinkuliza]

@@thegodless2904 Yes,, he pulled it off in 1 take

[@thegodless2904]

@@martinkuliza You can hear the splices in the isolated track, it’s a comp’d solo of multiple takes. Not an uncommon recording method and plenty of the most highly rated solos were created that way. Also the fact there are two different guitar tones used, shows it’s not one take.

[@theethrianmachine]

Pretty cool man I've never heard the isolated version before. You can appreciate it more

[@DanGmz]

Yeah it is an amazing solo. Thanks for comment 🤘🤘

[@theethrianmachine]

@@DanGmz you're welcome, cool video

[@alienautopsy9326]

One of the reasons Bob Rock was on Kirk’s ass was because they were running out of time, all the songs were tracked and Kirk’s solos were the last thing , he was supposed to be done with it months before when it came to record. Apparently Kirk was getting divorced at the time and it took a toll on him emotionally so it interfered with his writing. Search the Bob Rock black album interviews , a lot interesting things that aren’t the year and a half doc.

[@antoniocenteno1483]

Best Kirk solo imo. He has a lot of great stuff, and some are very special. But this is his top solo. Also the performance of this one is godly. Nothing too crazy, but everything where it should be.

[@benfisher5137]

One of my favorite Kirk Hammett solos. When the distortion kicks in is a sick part.

[@8OneOfTheNobodies8]

Real music tells a story ... the solo it self tells a epic tale \m/

[@murfdog19]

James actually played the clean intro to the solo, and it's awesome!

[@autumnfall1511]

Prob my favorite solo of his! 🖤🔥🔥🔥

[@steve0the0end]

Listen to that tone man omg

[@carlwhissel7557]

In my top 5 guitar solos

[@nickytheyahoo_]

Legend has it his strings are made from repunzels hair

[@christophercartwright5698]

Stairway and Comfortably Numb are 2 and 3 but, for some reason, this is my absolute favorite guitar solo (when accompanied by the rest of the song). Beautiful.

[@evanj2400]

goosebumps.

1:08 "i did it"

[@RabeChristophe]

perfectly done

[@danibarcelo7896]

Omg this only guitar version is so cool

[@mosheshalev9929]

Amazing

[@SophiaAphrodite]

How he got there and the pressure he was under to make it work with his vision. Shows how he may not be Mustaine, but he is great.

[@ethanbarc]

Good 😊

[@calinhogaspar]

Good

[@Emulator_Crossing]

kirk is a guitar god and amazing solo writer...but i wonder why the black album was the last with those really legendery solos. in the albums since i dont realy have stand out solo from him.

[@whatisanamelol]

How the fuck could he bend the high e string 4 semitone

[@DanGmz]

Maybe he uses .009 gauge strings?

[@kannachthemusiclover2869]

@@DanGmz Yes, I think. I once try to do that on .010 gauge and it's broke lol.

[@VashStarwind]

Is 4 semitones the same thing as 2 notes? Been trying to learn music and the nomenclature still kinda confuses me a bit

[@DanGmz]

@@VashStarwind I never studied music but yes semitones are the notes in between, like the black keys of a piano. They are also known as the sharp and flat notes.

[@VashStarwind]

@@DanGmz Ok thank you for the reply, Good to know. Its kinda confusing cause im used to "half step" instead of "semitone", and was just wondering if they were the same thing. Glad to know they are ha.

[@alexandrumacavei3223]

can someone help me please

[@alexandrumacavei3223]

when the actual solo starts after the two bends there are two notes and after them what notes are played because everywhere i see them rung but i can't get it is it a slide too at the beginning

[@DanGmz]

I was never good with tabs but let's see if this is correct, copy the text and paste it into notepad because I don't think it looks good here. ~~~~ 1--------------------|----------------------------------- 2---7b8-7b8----------|----------------------------------- 3---7b8-7b8-6--------|----------------------------------- 4-------------7------|---7b8b7-5------------------------- 5--------------------|-------------7-5-\-3-5-3-------3--- 6--------------------|-------------------------5-3-5----- I have played it by ear but it seems to me that it is correct, I hope it helps you. 😉👍

[@DanGmz]

The last note ends with a bend and harmonic at the same time.

Ibanez в конце? 😮

[@James-C-Callan]

I think Kirk may be deaf, he doesn’t even play/bend notes in tune 🤣

[@giacomom1275]

Always the same three licks. For 40 years. Still today the same three licks. Embarassing.

[@deanwilson4554]

Private jets for 30years. I’d say those licks are serving him well and he isint embarrassed at all. How is your licks going for you?

[@Leo-qj6rq]

Well yea.. songs don’t usually change over time

[@bretttutorialesygameplay3330]

Would love to hear your amazing licks and solos after probably making more than 300 songs, they sure would sound great, incompetent asshole.

[@Alphrime]

Yep he can't change the licks of that million dollar song.
