Just wanna say another huge thank you to Positive Grid for hooking me up with the spark mini to create this video with, I had so much fun! 😁🖤 PRE-ORDER SPARK MINI NOW 🎸 :: bit.ly/3MfIqnQ

I love how I'm serious when I'm playing a song but when I'm learning one I play random stuff 24/7 making it take 20times longer than it should

Fun fact: They did actually record it slower and then speed up the recording. They do play it live at full speed, though, or sometimes faster depending on how Lars is feeling.

So she starts playing and I’m like “yeah she can clearly play alright let’s see how this goes” then she starts putting bits and pieces together and I’m like “you had my curiosity, now you have my attention”. And then she cranks the speed up and just puts it all together…. Oh Lordy. Impressive.

These are great videos. 🤣 It really helps others feel better about the learning process seeing someone who is a role model educator do it themselves

I’m not gonna lie, I hit a wall and didn’t wanna practice. Even though I knew how to practice, I never stuck out the process. But sitting and watching you learn a song, not be good at it right away and still sound as good as you are in other videos just awoke the fire in me that 18 year old me used to have when I finally learnt how to do solo’s and stuff. Can’t wait until I’ve finally pushed passed the boundaries that I wanted to surpass years ago

Wow, that's seriously epic actually watching someone figuring out something that feels like it's from another planet. Makes it feel attainable, almost like I could do it myself (until I actually pick up my guitar that is)

So like this! When I try to play my electric guitar unplugged learning a new song and sounds awful and feel like giving up I hear a true exellant guitarist like you feel the same. An inspiration

Cleaner in an hour than I was after a week of learning it. Killer tone, too!

I love how your like, We could totally slow this down about 12%, but in all reality, when playing live they are probably playing it 10%-15% faster than studio. Quite funny really, but either way, you killed this for one hour.

I used to play in a band that played a lot of Metallica, so I know the feeling, Sophie. They play everything on hyper speed.

I was planning on learning this pretty soon. Seeing too get through it has inspired me and taken away any doubt or nervousness I have about it.

I also get that anxiety/adrenaline when I'm learning new stuff. I'm always like "settle the fk down man" but I never do until I have it down perfectly.

That squeely part I think Kirk accidentally moved the sting off the fret board. He still can't imitate it 40 years later.

Loved this Sophie! It was great to see that we all struggle along to learn a new song. I wish it only took me an hour! It takes me weeks sometimes! The Spark certainly is an amazing amp too!

Your honesty about the journey is encouraging, thanks

Love these ‘learning process’ videos. Here’s a challenge that’s been bending my ears over the last couple of weeks on and off… the guitar solo in Animotion’s cover of Obsession. Mostly pretty simple in D but a couple of speedy runs buried in a dense mix that are giving me grief. See if you can get them…

At the end of the day trying to play a clean solo from a guy that doesn’t even play it clean live now is a feat in itself

I didn’t think that I would watch another KZfaqr named Sofia after finding Sophie Lloyd, I was wrong. You are inspiring to watch, especially for someone who has never reproduced said solo better than you have in an hour. I have been playing since 1994😬

Holy S*** you figured out and played perfectly an iconic solo from one of the metal masters within one hour. Can't say I'm surprised, you are a stellar talent.

Sophie, you amazing! 😍 Would love to hear the section after the solo..

The down picking hetfield riffs i’ve been still working on for the last year and a half lol Finally reached 90% the other day haha

Appreciate this very much an honest approach we are all human , great inspiration. I’ve been avoiding this main solo for along time , time to buckle down like you and get it done !

Wow, really impressive for an hours work!! I learned Master of Puppets way back when I had only been playing two years or so (albeit about 8 hours a day for that two years… .). It took me two weeks to learn it spot on for the rhythm sections and the lead somewhat sloppily. After anothe 10:50 r 35 years, you’ve given me inspiration to go back and learn the lead properly! You’re awesome Sophie, keep it up!!

Absolutely amazing Sophie Respect respect respect How you can learn and bring this up to speed so quickly is simply awesome, 👍🎸💯😎 Great humour , and great tone from the Spark mini 💯 Next in the series , a Tremonti solo from Marching in time🎸😎

MOPs in an hour v.impressive. Really enjoyed seeing you learn it. Great job Sophie

I love how you are showing everyone how nothing is free. Also, that guitar is 🔥.

@sophie Burrell. It took me weeks to learn this solo. You’re over here learning it in like an hour. Hahahaha. Good job girl. I’m inspired.

You are so talented and hilarious! I love your dry sense of humor. Going into "My Heart Will Go On" with the effed up flute for a split second was great!! Love your vids!! Crumble..start crying. LOL

9:57 “Gross fingers” much needed so they don’t blister and hurt but are capable of making such beautiful sounds when they’re gross 💕

This is insane. The solo is the one thing I cannot get down whenever I play and it’s so frustrating lol

Thanx for sharing this, I think is the first time ever I watch a guitarist when learning a solo vid.

YES! Some long awaited Tallica. Very sick!

Wow u nailed it in such a short time,loved it

Your fingers look beautiful. It's a symbol of hard work well done. You don't need to worry about the tips of your fingers cause the rest of you is absolutely breathtaking. FERDA

absolutley brilliant guitarist your are you should be sooooo proud of yourself

Nice one Sophie, love watching this scenario, and how you get get round it. Hats off. Smashed it.

When I first heard her I’m ashamed to say I dismissed her as a gimmick but I’ve been playing guitar over fifty years she is not a gimmick but the genuine artist she apparently is! I think when she gets with the right people she’s going to be a great influence on young women all over the world I love what she does fantastic job!

Nice watching others learn you can learn along and pick up things from watching you play very nice

Luv that you had Cole’s video up as part of the learning process!

That was really impressive! Now I'd love to see you try to learn the solo of Tornado of Souls by Megadeth, that would be interesting! Keep rocking 🤘

That was cool! Seriously very inspiring!

Hell yeah 🤘 I hope to be as good at playing someday! Just started learning to play. So fun 😁

Smashed it. Love the honest content of you screwing up before you get it nailed. Thanks.

I think when your trying to learn a song such as this & you feel your life is burning faster & it is like something is pulling your strings you just need to slow it down hahah great vid thanks.

Love these! Would be cool to see you try the guitar solo from "Right Now" by Van Halen

I'm form Brazil and I just saw you for the first time playing Sultans of swing and blowed up my mind.. you are very talented and one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen 😵‍💫 keep on rockin 😉🤘🏻

Ellie, Lily and I sat around watching this shit, nice one, Ellie's been bugging you to do this one for ages

I am quite impressed. I stick to mostly original works for the pure reason that being a musician for over 50 years I am more in tune to my own ways and my own path musically. I greatly admire however those who can do honest justified renditions of famous works. I salute you.

I love the way the video was edited. So amusing.

super fun video ! loved especially seeing/watching your "quirks"

The new spark mini is awesome and somebody’s fabulous

You're terrific. That's why we love you !!! New subscriber !!!

By the way I saw Master of Puppets tour at the UIC pavilion in Chicago in April of 1986 before Cliff perished on the bus.Great show they opened for Ozzy Ultimate Sin tour.

this is cool because it highlights the tedious process of learning a new song which is the least romantic thing about playing the guitar

I ordered the spark mini. Kinda sucks that the give them away to a bunch of reviewers but make people pre order them for months. Hopefully it won't be like the first one and they will hold people's money for a year

probably a really easy one for you to learn but I would love to hear you play Outshined by soundgarden, I really like that one.

I just bought a Spark Mini specifically because I live in an apartment, and a large Amp would just annoy all the neighbors. And the Spark Mini is just excellent.

Glad to see a guitar "Influencer" learning by EAR! I've seen so many tiktoks on "learning this song" and then they look at tabs... yeah it's great, but uh not that impressive. Figuring out by ear is a very undervalued skilled. It's like going to the gym, it takes effort and time to get good at it, but it's very rewarding

Takes time doesn't it. Love that practice amp. Get sound. Love my Fender mustang micro. Fantastic for learning riff. The flat top finger 🤘 tips. 😊

I really enjoy your personality in these learning videos. Well done, too.

Good job on the solo. I learned it fast for my cover of master too.

Learning by ear is the best way to learn songs. Regarding their own music, Metallica has even said to not read the tab books.

Super fun! I'm pretty sure I read that the odd squeal was a mistake. He bent the string off of the fretboard, and it made that sound. 🤘🤘

Bloody hell! Fire flyin from your finger tips 😂🤘

nice positive grid, spark mini, it was a nice outtake.

FYI, you can easily make the full size Spark battery powered with a $16 USB to 19v DC cord hooked to a power bank. And when it dies, you just switch power banks instead of recharging the unit. The cordI bought is currently sold out on Amazon, but it was the Ripcord brand (must be 19 volt). Works perfectly. Edit: Ignore the guy in the comment below he's looking at the wrong cord. On MyVolt's website it's the AA932MS, but they are sold out. That hooked to a power bank and you are totally battery operated with the Spark.

Try to learn the full guitar solo for Man in the Box next .. I love Alice in Chains guitar solos but I haven't even approached that one because it's so elaborate

A new video of Sophie is a good way to start my morning with a cup of cofee 👍

Just like that baby we’re back

OMG that last attempt sounded so freaking good.

Awesome, one of my favourite solos by Metallica, if you want a fun challenge I was having a look at the tab for the latest Paul Gilbert guitar techniques fretboard masterclass, called ‘That’s to much like work’. It’ll certainly be an interesting one for sure!!!

Great video, fun to watch. Great job on that solo for the time put in.

Sorry sophie I have been the process of building a new house and my guitar is in storage 😵 I took a break and is stuck in a hotel with a kitchenette since sept… 😅 I’m building a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom to myself, with a gym, computer room and music room 😵 still enjoy your music and I hope i didn’t lose my spark amp because i don’t remember where I store it.

Great job, i learned this solo like 4 years ago and NEVER got it up to speed. Think I might have to revisit it and see how I stack up these days

I have to clear up just a little of my last text about going on KZfaq and learning a song in 15 minutes but when you absolutely have to get it down oh yeah and absolutely takes a couple hours again very good Sophie and your gorgeous hair

I remember an interview with Kirk, and he said the high squealy part happened by mistake. I think he said something like pulling the string off the fretboard by bending too hard something like that.

So much fun to watch. Keep up the great content.

😍 Always enjoy these videos!

Fantastic video sophie very interesting to see how quickly you learn a tune🎸🎸🌟🌟❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I LOVE these kind of videos! soo interesting, keep going :D

4:28 man...it's the notes in-between that are fuckin with her..

I also had problems on this one, but now it's ok. It became fun 🙂🤘🤘

Nice one I might come back to it later I sent it to myself and you know me I watch it I’m follow along a little bit I love picking up Anything I can copy

It's a really cool video that shows people that you have to hard work to nail it :)

Awesomeeeee!!! You learned the solo in an hour I been trying to learn the intro to fade to black for 4 months lmao forget the solo 😂😅🔥🔥🔥

From a bass player, you get mad respect from me. I don't say that out of spite for guitar players or because I think there's some sort of "guitar mentality." But I DO very much respect your technique and musicality as well as your ethic. Great musicians become amazing when they work for the music instead of themselves. And you seem very music-driven (rather than ego-driven).

cool learning process! i use a similar one when learning but with ultimate guitar pro starting really slowly and building speed. think i need to try yours to improve my ear more

Don't know how you didn't notice watching the other video, but the harmonics are actual harmonics on the 4th fret. As in the ones where you don't actually fret the note. Guess it doesn't matter now, but if anyone else is learning this it will sound more accurate.

Great video, please make an album ! I love your PRS !

Nice PRS! I'd love one as well as a million other guitars....dream guitar is the original Gibson explorer....the wood finish. Cheers from America....rock on!

I could watch Sophie read and be content for hours.

Great video, I’m still trying to play by ear. The solos are tougher than the rhythm for me. Thanks for the motivation!!!

Wow, that edition level is insane. Congratts

Wow, didn’t even recognize you, I was like “is that the same person from the shorts”??

We spent 2 hours watching your videos today, please dye your hair pink, WE LOVE IT!! Greetings from Argentina!

Might not be a popular opinion, but, you could check out Elixir strings, I've tried a bunch of different brands but I always come back to them, not only are they hella durable, but they will also not tarnish your fingers. Personally I would go with Polywebs as they sit in the middle of coating thickness to "regular" string feeling ratio.

I think it’s awesome can’t wait to hear it

You can do anything you put your mind to. I believe in you 😁

WoW ! Amazing !! 👏🏼 i love your guitar ! 😍
