[@clark.949]

Yeah, def one of the most unique Metallica songs that are often overlooked by a lot of metalheads.

[@lethalbydefault]

As someone who struggles learning by ear (spoiled by the ease of the internet), it blows my mind when people can play something just by listening to it once. It takes me ages to figure out stuff by ear. hahaha

[@R0BERTMAY]

You and me both man!!!! So impressive. Rabea Massaad is epic too man!

[@jakehughes4592]

Nice pfp

[@shogunc7718]

It's one of those things that the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Don't give up. Try to only look up parts that you absolutely can't figure out. Over time it'll become natural.

[@Antowam3]

Frölunda! Anyways, you learn little tricks that make it easier. Its easier to think in harmony than in frets. That way the relations actually make sense. You only have 12 notes, the other octaves are just timbre. First note usually sets the scale. Minor major third? With that set the rest slots in much easier. If you're in a daw, try hipassing everything below 800 and add a bump around 2-5khz. Usually helps with making the tonality of the guitar easier to discern.

[@MagnusRex4]

Back in the no-internet days it was all we had. The more matured player you become, the less difficult it gets

Love this series Ola, I’ve been playing guitar for 35 years and I’m still learning and this is how I learn new techniques and ideas! And you’re right when you say that the riffs don’t have to be super technical to be awesome! Gojiri are awesome at it! I can now go and try for myself. Thank you Ola for all your videos, one day I will own a Solar guitar, and that day is getting closer 🤘🤘

[@hazzawazza4918]

Germatria (The Killing Name) - Slipknot, killer riffs and one of the hardest breakdowns

[@ForTiorIJohnny]

oh jeez, that song gives my right forarm the biggest cramps XD would love to see Ola try those down strokes at that speed.

[@drystanbarnett503]

Definitely an underrated song to become a rhythm downpicking god. After learning that song and doing it the right way you grow a third arm

[@crackedsystem2158]

Oh yeah

[@jordanqueen6897]

Such an underappreciated song. I'd love to see him do that.

[@madmanmike69]

100% agree

[@thommysguitarcorner4687]

I like this series! How about an In Flames Song next? Maybe Take this Life? Or some metalcore to spice things up, like Architects - Naysayer?

[@7StringsAreBetter]

Absolutely!

[@sondersonics7534]

Take this life is one of the most headbangable songs ever

[@pallasserenity6411]

I think this is a good series idea. It can help some of us learn new riffs, and can help us develop our ear training

[@renatovalverdediaz6420]

Ola, learn The Art of Dying, its going to be a challenge, but believe me, its absolutely worth it, one of the greatest masterpieces in all metal, hail Gojira, hail Ola!!

Love this series. Gojira is one of my favorites. I’d love for you to learn flying whales. Such a fun song. The breakdown is my favorite breakdown every made

[@tonynecas4825]

Learning other bands songs was how I learned how to play in general. I picked up some theory after to fill in the gaps. Slaughter to prevail demolisher. Would be a killer one to learn

[@UncleRJ]

I would like to suggest Cannibal Corpse - Condemnation Contagion. It'll test your consistent power chord downpicking the whole song. It's also a kickass song.

[@geffinwahyu8071]

Yes sir!!

[@nicolaswutzmusic]

It seems like one of the easier Cannibal Corpse song, but after you se Erik Ruthans playthrough, you see how hard it actually is😂

[@thet740]

I second this song.

[@dropAE]

Absolutely

[@cabamaru76]

Great concept Ola! My suggestion : Death - Symbolic or Death - Lack of Comprehension ... Basically most of Death's discography has some of the coolest badass guitar riffs in Metal, so yeah ;-) Cool vid man!

[@laoude7890]

The learning by ear is amazing. Watching it just makes my mind explode. This is what good musicians look like.

[@jmcsquared18]

For the next learning video, I think two potentials might be Opeth: "Demon Of The Fall" for a simple but fun one, or Lamb Of God: "Walk With Me In Hell" if you wanted a challenge.

[@AlexSMarie]

Try "you can't bring me down" from Suicidal Tendencies, lots of good lead and chuggy riffs and you would step out of your common bands 🤘🤘🤘

[@LDN76]

Nice! Beneath the remains or Slaves of Pain!! Yeah!!! Some old metal in regular tuning!

[@sinnanna7471]

Great idea! Would be fun to learn Death's "Flesh And the Power It Holds", for example.

Great idea!! Can help inspire ppl to learn fun songs!

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

With how many tunings Tremonti uses, wouldve been fun to see Ola figure it out.

[@theraga3]

Learning new stuff, particularly when it involves a new or challenging technique is a great way to improve both your ear and your playing. What about slaughter of the soul? Some quality riffs in there and I've bee planning to learn it myself but haven't had the time to sit down and do it yet.

[@gregorrus6495]

This is a good start to a what I think will be a very interesting series of videos, I hope it takes off, really like it! My request for next song would be either Leprous - Cryptogenic Desires, which is a fun one or Anaal Nathrakh - Do Not Speak.

[@niklasdahlberg8870]

I really enjoy the format but the most interesting thing is your reflection of the techniques used, for instance the explaining of the galloping since then I learn something too

[@TGQ]

Request: Children of Bodom - Blooddrunk. I remember I almost got the song without the solo in about 5 months, I was also a beginner at the guitar. Hell that was a hard song to learn even with the tablature in front of me

[@pilkjaer]

I would vote for "Are You Dead Yet?" if we are to choose among COB songs.

[@Furiora]

"Oh shit, it's a whammy." I was waiting to see how you'd react to there being a whammy pedal. Such a cool riff and that chord is downright nasty. The meme challenge would be Thought the Fire and the Flames by Dragonforce, although I'd personally ask for either The Serpentine Offering by Dimmu Bogir or Next In Line by Children of Bodom. Bonus challenge; Learn the song on the closest Solar equivilent to the guitar used by the band.
