When I was just learning guitar I'd circle all the hardest licks in my TAB book and realized the same ones kept coming back. Eventually I realized there are really only 11 main licks in the Kill 'Em All solos.

In fairness he really didn’t have to learn much. He was chosen because he was a really fast player. Pure fast twitch horsepower. James has said he can’t solo worth a damn, because he can’t do this. I am not sure I can do this at speed. Been playing longer than most viewers have been alive.

As was pointed out by someone else in the comments, these are all fairly simple pentatonic licks strung together - the hard part is doing them really fast and really smoothly. If he was practicing diligently in those few years, it's not surprising at all that he was playing these parts so fast and so cleanly. Now, if young Kirk was just a casual for-fun player who didn't take practicing super seriously and was playing like this, that would be truly virtuosic. Never underestimate the importance of practice.

What I loved about this lesson is it reminded me that I still need to practice these old school box shape techniques. I haven't really used them in so long that I just assumed I had them so I never really use them that much anymore but I forgot how fun they are and they can really bring some cool sounds to solos. Great lesson man! I'm gonna have to bust out some old 80's jams now, when I was a kid all I played was thrash and metal, I forgot how fun it was.

Satch himself said Kirk was one of his two favorite students, right below Steve Vai. Because what little time Kirk DID learn from him, Kirk made one HELL of a career out of it. Whether they're the most technical or not, each one of his solos, especially after kill em all, were GENIUS considering what he knew. He took that small amount of data and made it into MANY different solos that fit those songs better than anyone else would have done. They all match in their own way, to what their music requires. I don't think anyone can replace any of them at this point. It would just be weird.

I would add "Number 12"... THE "tapping lick" that seemed to find it's way into EVERY solo on Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning ( as well as the Creeping Death EP w/ Am I Evil? and Blitzkrieg although having heard the Diamondhead originals, Hammett copped them note for note). It's basically a pedal tone tapping lick say 12-15 fret high E tapping 17, 19, 20, 19 repeat once, 3rd time 17,19, 20, 19, 20, 19, 17 bend he plays in some variation or another all over the place. I was very disappointed as a teen "on the Metallica wagon" years before my peers through a bootleg copy of "Metal Up Your Ass",and a close friend who saw them in Houston when Dave Mustaine was still in the band... but when I realized most of the solos on RTL that sounded so awesome? Were double and tripled-tracked and harmonized on the overdubs. Also to realize that Mustaine had more or less written most of my favorite tracks. That being said, they are still two very incredible albums and though a little dated and ( seeming) cliched *now*? NOBODY played like that back then. ( I was also far ahead of the curve on Motorhead thanks to another close friend who had lived in Holland and brought them back along with the European releases of "Killing Machine" ( Hell Bent for Leather here in America), British Steel, and NotB, Killers, and Maiden Japan by Iron Maiden.

Learn it, and master it and move it just a little bit faster until you cant do it perfectly any more, master it, repeat .

Man I envy that pinky strength.... One of my favourite kirk licks is a classic you can hear at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="261">4:21</a> in the Four Horsemen. It's pretty similar to the 3rd lick in the video and off the top of my head he uses it in Fade to Black, Jump in the Fire and Seek & Destroy.

Me, who's been playing these solos for over 10 yrs: ""Hmm... interesting" I really think you should've mentioned that he combines the 2nd and 3rd technique, a lot, to create that almost sweeping technique. Which is used A LOT in the album. The one that goes E: 15p12 -> B:15p12 -> G: 15 or 14 -> B: 12-15p12. I know you sort of touched on it at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="215">3:35</a> but I feel like you could've put more focus on it. When I was learning these, as a teen, this technique blew my mind.

Lol that's way too specific, he plays similar licks and explains that he uses a sweeping motion throughout the entire video, literally all you did was phrase it slightly different. You're acting like it's revolutionary playing when it's just a common guitar lick. His video lacked nothing.
