Let’s be real it’s not for the fans, it’s for their bank accounts. If it was for the fans they’d stick it on KZbin for nothing, this is because they’re getting older and want to play less while securing a revenue stream because nobody buys albums anymore and they know they probably haven’t got another good one in them anyway and streaming music pays sod all so they’ve done this and that’s fine.. just don’t delude your self.

is there really a "real way" when it comes to guitar? even if it's an octave up or down from original way it was played its still the same notes. also just cause some play one way on a record don't mean they play the exact same way live. so we really never know what the "real way" is.

@@6footmidget214 The "real way" is the exact way they play it. Point blank. An octave up or down? Higher/lower on the fretboard? Alternative picking techniques? Sure it sounds right in the ballpark, but it's not the original play style. The real way. It's not that complicated, James touches on it himself in the video.

Very cool that they took the time to give back to the fans like this. We can always pick up our guitars and read the music and tabs but most of the time they aren't 100 percent and someone with an ear for tones and music in general can hear it when I play it back on my guitar. It's great that they can show us they way they wrote it. It may be more difficult than tabs show but practice makes perfect.

I wish that I had stuff like this when I was learning how to play. I had to buy cassettes and cds over and over again, because I would wear them from listening and learning riffs, along with MTV videos that I would record on VHS tapes. I never took a guitar lesson in my life, and I had to learn by ear. The people that are just getting into guitar playing now have it made with the internet. If you are getting into play a musical instrument, not matter what musical instrument it is, DON'T GIVE UP!!!! GOD bless!!!

This is great for new player's, so cool! When I first picked up a guitar at age 11 back in 1985 I had limited instruction until my late teens, now at 47 I'm very fourtune to have a very good ear and can basically learn a song just by listening to it a few times 🤘😎🤘 obviously this comes with time and experience. Thanks James & Kirk for being a huge influence on me from the start, you two are to blame for my technical skill and speed haha 😄

So Lars can finally learn to play Metallica

[@KissMyFatAxe]

Meh. I've tried Yousician before but it wasn't that great. I just use Songsterr it's far better and easier to use IMO.

[@FunnySneko]

same.

[@cutesywootsey]

Oh My Metal Gods!!!! Time to get that guitar I've always wanted 💜🤘🎶🎸🔥

А мы еще раз всем напоминаем, что Кирк Хэмметт не написал ни одной песни в составе группы Металлика.

[@pirunkieli]

На самом деле все песни Металлики написал Мастейн. Даже те, которые ещё не были выпущены

I CAN’T BELIEVE MY FUCKING EYES!!! I learnt how to play guitar first time with Yousician, it’s my favorite program to play guitar, i played 1,5 year with it. And now, ma favorite band adds their songs here… and 3rd part is on my birthday… it’s so cool!🤘🤘🤘

[@steakiefrags1866]

Really cool! But after 11 years of playing, i basically mastered metallica riffs. Onto some progressive metal!

[@reff1093]

Cool stuff as always from you guys!

[@orionburton3829]

I've learned to play like metallica hearing the album over and over and over, earl in 2000's

[@Y0urD4DDY]

Yeah I gotta try this, it should help with my down picking. I need to build up my picking stamina, and this is a great way to do that

[@DorothyOzmaLover]

[@juanchox0929]

Awesome! I'll get it right now :D

I fucking love this! MetallicA is a family with the fans. We are 100% family! They wear their age like a Badge of Honor! Some bands are too cool for the room. MetallicA gives back to those who supported them and even those who have no clue about The MetallicA Family. Thank God for James Hetfield and what his music and attitude did for me in 1988 when I was 13. It was really rough but I actually saved myself. I couldn't have done it without The MetallicA FAMILY!!!
