Tim you’re hands down the best teacher on KZfaq. If anyone is on the fence, I highly recommend grabbing the GP file too, having the ability to slow down each section and play along has had me nailing songs in no time. The attention to detail is second to none.

Had no idea those guitar parts were reversed! Sounds so good forwards. An album I’ve heard thousands of times and I’ll never be able to listen to the opening the same way again! Looking fwd to One & Justice 🙏

Bro! This video is FANTASTIC! Subb'd! My wife hears me practicing and I'm sure she always thinks there's something missing. I've explained 20 times that when she's listening on the radio, she's often hearing 4 guitar parts played by one person. Then she looks at me like I'm speaking Chinese. The way you laid out the reversed intro in your video shows that so well. I'm gonna make her watch it 30 times, lol. I'm still consistently amazed by how heavy Metallica can make standard tuning sound.

They are one of the greatest thrash metal bands of the 80s and Alex Skolnick is a phenomenal guitarist, yet there are almost no tutorials available. Thank you! Lorenzo

Hi Tim, great lesson as always! Just one question, because every time i listen to blackened I can’t help but notice the timing of the main riff after the solo sounds kinda weird. What are your thoughts on that?

@TimHolman 4 ай бұрын

There is a slight timing issue with the last couple of beats underneath the solo. Almost like it slows down a fraction. Also, the end of the solo is solidly in 4/4 time. With the 7/4 timing coming back in I could see that sounding weird. I can't think or hear of anything else that's causing an issue.

Yeah, that tab for Blackened has to be one of the worst tabs I've seen. Virtually nothing is correct. I don't fault them for trying their best back in the day but what I don't understand is why that book is STILL on the market.

I’m curious because the one thing I never see in tabs…. What is James doing during the bridge when he hangs on the E chord? In ‘89 he slides his hand down near the 12th fret. Any ideas of what he’s doing? My guess have been he’s grabbing the 12th fret of the E and sliding it back up between the E chords, or maybe just sliding the notes on 2nd fret A and S strings down to the 12th. Please help answer that it’s been bugging me for years

Not trying to step on toes, but are people just unable to learn songs by ear in today’s world? The song is a perfect example of one that you should be able to learn by ear. so I’m being serious when I ask, are you tone deaf and that’s why you can’t learn it on your own without tabs I don’t get it…
