[@arttuuusisalo8709]

19+ minutes of metallica solos 0 missed notes, pretty good if u ask me

[@TriviuMetallicA087]

+arttu uusisalo he missed a note on the first solo he did

[@paulallenscard8553]

He missed a few notes here and there, but overall this video was still outstanding!!!

[@yearginclarke]

Kirk used/uses simple basic patterns but sounds so unique and fucking awesome. That's the difference between a musician and a player.

[@creeping_death6344]

Yeah

[@theskullarmi3791]

Burak Bilecen i believe he meant that kirk is a musician, making the most “simple basic patterns” sound “unique and fucking awesome”

[@theskullarmi3791]

Burak Bilecen i understand, jokes are hard to interpret on the internet. thanks for being so cool about it, it’s rare on the internet

[@tromboneman4517]

yearginclarke, Kirk is just a player. Not a musician. If you think he’s a good musician, you aren’t being honest with yourself.

[@iamtheone5049]

@@tromboneman4517 yeah great job buddy, you should probably be able to publish something as epic as fade to black, mop, creeping death solo since it isnt that high on musicality level. 👍👍👍

[@szanujczerwien5877]

This is perfect playing. now i can clearly see how mad was Kirk with his solos in the past ;d incredible skills.

[@sherwinfernandes2642]

SzanujCzerwień n how awesome Dave was with metallica

[@chernebog07]

Sherwin Fernandes Dave was, and always will be, a hack. Everyone knows the real genius and inspiration behind early Metallica was Cliff.

[@MIckveli2]

-James wrote most of those there "solos"

[@briang8579]

@Spectacular Spectacular or Jeff beck, batio, malmstene, loureiro.

[@thekadengank2143]

@Spectacular Spectacular ah more untrue stuff. First off for everyone here, James did not write solos to metallicas songs, he writes most of the riffs and kirk comes in and does solos. Kirk tho made some of metallicas most memorable riffs like chorus riff to master of puppets, enter sandmans riff, creeping deaths bridge, damage inc bridge and more. Also he isnt playing daves solos. If you look at interviews kirk told metallica he wasnt gonna play ear for ear daves solos, he will start them out like dave did and then go on his own and metallica agreed. Why I personally like kirk is because even tho yea he isnt the most technically correct guitarist(which who gives a shit, guitar nerds make playing music sooo boring) he inspired and is a metal innovator, he never boasts about him self even with his credentials and stays down to Earth. Now ofc unlike dave even tho i like him, he makes sure everyoneeee knows who he is and this and that and the third.

[@Jahomey505]

True

[@miguelmourao7541]

I’m not a specialist on guitar but what I know is that the solo only has arpeggios and scales but it still is very good

[@harrisontownsend910]

The intro solo is perfect, he's done better solos than the outro but I'll give it to him he was soloing over a complicated harmony riff.

[@matthewboyer7401]

"Nothing Else Matters" wasn't a Hammett solo; that was Hetfield. And the second solo in "Orion" wasn't either - that was a bass solo from Cliff Burton.

[@p.f.h.2146]

One of the solos from "To Live Is To Die" is done by James.

[@netog1885]

Metallica has the best solos I swear..

[@baseballaddict2838]

I always thought that. They have so many of them, and pretty much all of them are fucking great.

[@carlitosASJ]

[@zzzhuh]

+Carlos Armenta IDK, I think Friedman was second best to Chris Poland. The guitar tracks with him on it sound SOOO clean, but they are fast and just work with the riffs. Friedman is great, but Polands approach really nailed it.

[@kadengonzales9946]

One way you cn tell this is really good, Did anyone notice/hear that he played right over the actual solo for every song? He does such a great job you can barely hear it

[@FaithfulReasoning]

He plays them more cleaner then Kirk.

[@lasegame]

Rahul Kumar I dont agree. In my opinion,Kirk playing might sound worse because its an old recording. Even though, I have to agree that this guy plays insanely well.

[@TomHolloway123]

kirks recent live performances, however are much sloppier than this

[@lasegame]

I cannot lie: they are. I can justify though, that he is pressured by many, and swanthepig has as many tries as he wants to play and record the video to upload it. Kirk can`t. Also Kirk is getting a little old so he is not as good as he was before. But he can for sure shred the guitar better than most of the guitar players in the world, just like this guy.

[@przesborn]

Rahul Kumar more cleaner xD

[@SuperCooldude24]

Yeah this guy can play really clean, but how well of a composer is he? Kirk wrote these solos so technically he's still the best

To be fair to Kirk Hammett he has written some cool stuff and the basic soloing is hardly exclusive to him :)

[@maxminicus2433]

Kirk changes keys with the songs very often, so I think that description of his playing is quite simplified. Kirk has written some amazing solos, but I do agree his use of wah (especially on Them Black Album) is a little excessive
