Metallica - Seek & Destroy Guitar Cover

[@xShinyMetalSniperz]

I'VE NEVER SEEN A SOLO SO NAILED

[@SomeSortaPro]

How do you replicate the "Metallica sound" so perfectly!?

[@KnallenN]

down picking and muting

[@Jake8857]

SomeSortaPro he perfect amount of distortion and mids

[@bigsaint1251]

SomeSortaPro Overlay the original track on your recording and make the original abit louder.

[@av3nger3]

Much of your guitar tone is in your hands and fingers

[@powerplug2514]

SomeSortaPro i havent tried any of my other guitars but for my gibson explorer (looks exactly same as james hetfeilds) for my amp i use mid:1.5 gain:8 bass:8.5 and treb:10

I’ve only played 9 months and I can play the solo so... practice makes perfect

[@tomasnewson6744]

Absolutely nailed the kirk hammet style, especially with the solo! Hats off

[@SwagnificentG]

TTEEEECCHHHHnically, that solo is the Dave Mustaine style.

[@tomasnewson6744]

Written by Dave mustaine yes, but played in the style of kirk hammett... People can play other musicians songs and put their own style on it...

[@shawnlewis1918]

COME ON MAAAAAN, push that camera shot up to your face....I know that playing dude, you're Kirk Hammett! You don't fool us! Nice cover!!!

We know that is not kirk because the solo is well played

[@The.Artistic.Squirrel]

Wow This is Amazing! Thank you! This song gives me so many good memories & tears me up at the same time. It takes me back 20+ years to when I was a kid in the Navy traveling the world. It was one of many amazing songs my best friend use to play on his 6 string bass to blow off steam. One particularity great day back in 02 we had just gone thru the Panama Canal in our ship and were coming up the Cali Coast. We were taking 45+ foot seas. It was the best sleep we ever got, but I’ll never forget how he had to anchor one leg on the bulkhead to keep steady while playing this very song LOL He ended up tragically passing away from cancer 6 years ago. Fair winds & Following Seas, Neil, you are eternally missed!

[@tazzi8085]

Sounds like the original

[@unicodeunicorn3949]

8 years later and this guy is still did the best Metallica covers on the web. Also 8 years later and afaik Gibson still hasn't reissued this SG.

[@primalconcretesledge3137]

This guy covers Metallica better than anyone I've seen on KZbin so far. Tone, accuracy, style, musicality...it's all there.

[@Tuuubesh0w]

WOW …! That solo was so spot-on I kinda wondered if it was KZbin I was watching. I very rarely use words like perfect, impeccable, flawless or just fucking brilliant to describe a cover, because it seems like almost every cover always has some weaknesses that hasn't been finely practiced to perfection. This cover though, was just it; it really was mad good. I mean, I can say a cover was awesome, but that doesn't come close to what you've managed. It's just so wonderful seeing a cover like this with a sound that not only does your skills justice, but also fits perfectly to the song and the solo. I very often miss that. Also, your fine-tuned clean technique and dead-on timing really catches the sound of Mustaine, which warms my heart. Yeah, and I love your bending, especially in the start of the third mini-solo. I always wondered why so many guitarists practice alternate picking like crazy and everything sounds really great, but then when the bends come, the guitar screams for mercy. I've seen some few but amazing covers of other bands here on the Tube, but this one really surprised me. I'm subscribing, and thank you for sharing your skills - you are truly one in a million.

[@ozancanca9740]

If you listen carefully, he is doing a cover

[@timothycort]

you make it look so easy i just learned this and i am 56 years old. just recently saw Metallica in concert figured i need to do this song. excellent by the way

Jesus holy mother of god , your absolutely nailed that solo 😭😭😭 that was amazing to watch. How long have you been playing guitar? And how long did you practice this song before making this video? GOOD SHIT BRO 🙌🏻🎸

[@pwee507]

holy fuck that solo! How does it feel to be better than Kirk?

[@Ashgrom]

Seek&Destroy is from Kill 'em All so that's Dave Mustaine playing the solo ( on the record that is, of course it's Kirk nowdays ) :)

[@pwee507]

No kirk recorded those solos. Dave wrote them but kirk had to re write them so they were easier to play

[@Unreal418]

Milos Fehir You're an idiot.

[@biologicalstepdad9082]

not necessarily easier, just more his style. plus kirk's solos on kill em all sounded more complex than mustaine's.

[@pvsnoir]

pwee507 no. Kirk covered Dave’s solos to record kill ´em all he didnt rewrote the solos

[@thfreakinacage]

Very clean, love it! I recently picked up my guitar properly for the first time in a few years and decided to learn this. I had no idea how easy most of it actually was. I managed to play along with about half of it with the tabs first time which surprised even myself. That solo may take a while though, I'm not that fast yet :P haha. But I do love the fast bit right before the solo, so much fun to play that bit :D

[@lesterksi4521]

[@cliffordpurk5039]

+swanthewhitepig nicely done man. I used to play along with this song a lot about 6 or so years ago when I still had my gear. I played the rhythm though. the only part i had problems with was the breakdown riff before the lead. at that time the tempo was what I had problems with. keeping up with James on rhythm can be difficult if you aren't a pro player like yourself. miss jamming to this song. awesome work man really.

How can you get that kinda tone out of an SG i have an SG with standard pickups and i can't get a palm mute tone like yours, what is your secret?

[@jonathanavocado243]

Is yours a Gibson or an epiphone

[@Tcrumpen]

Jonathan Avocado Neither it's a Tokai

[@Tcrumpen]

***** How is that a problem? Tokai aren't a cheap make from what i've read they actually make better guitars than Epiphone ans sometimes Gibson

[@Tcrumpen]

Ahh right well the pickups i use are the stock pickups so they are prob the cheapest part of the guitar and prob not very high output

[@Tcrumpen]

MajorWoodyYT How can you be so sure Tokai's are shit, also Line 6 Spiders aren't the best amplifiers outthere

It is! I also liked to play without my pinky in the beginning often, but if you once trained it it‘s like a weapon. Its the difference between playing guitar with 3 or 4 fingers, makes things alot easier and often cleaner.
