Tuning is Std E
WHAT A SONG TO COVER. THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE HARDEST SONGS TO DO SINCE THE SPEED OF SOME OF THOSE HETFIELD RIFFS ARE JUST INSANE TO PULL OFF. JAMES DEFINITELY KNOWS HOW TO USE THAT RIGHT HAND PROPERLY. THIS IS ALSO A GREAT SONG TO EXERCISE TO, TO GET ALL THOSE MUSCLES IN YOUR RIGHT HAND WORKING AT FULL SPEED. AND THEN THERE IS THAT ACOUSTIC INTRO THAT SEEMS TO BE PLAYED MANY DIFFERENT WAYS BY OTHER GUITARISTS, SO I LISTENED VERY CAREFULLY TO THE ISOLATED TRACKS AND TABBED OUT WHAT MY EAR COULD MAKE OUT FROM THE LEFT AND RIGHT CHANNEL.
I HAD A HARD TIME WITH THE PRE VERSE RIFFS, WITH THOSE SUDDEN STOPS, SO I HAD TO PRACTICE THAT A LOT JUST TO GET IT DONE RIGHT. THE LEAD, IN FACT, WAS THE ONLY THING I FOUND EASY TO PLAY AND LEARNED IT IN A DAY. I'VE ALWAYS BEEN NERVOUS TO DO A COVER OF THIS SONG SINCE THERE IS JUST SO MUCH GOING ON WITH THAT ACOUSTIC INTRO AND THOSE SPEED RIFFS. BUT I CONQUERED AND DESTROYED THAT FEAR TODAY. HOPE I DID THIS ONE JUSTICE...
HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THIS ONE
