Solo Of The Week: 16 Metallica - Fade To Black Tab 

Its a little bit of all

Not necessarily. David Gilmours solos are also amazing, but they have no shred. They make up for that with melody and lots of bends.

The bend should be more 😂

@@Luaporleafcutterant David Gilmour...please. Maybe someone like Paul Gilbert...

Listen to Townsend - Deep Peace solo

@@putinstea not even close.

Try listening to the song in Eb tuning, makes it sound a lot more sombre and dark

Right? When the harmonizing melodies kick in and the solo starts I feel like slowly falling into the abyss.

@@Tcrumpen eb Hendrix?

i agree bro!! :)

Exactly.

Only those who have just lately picked up guitar would say that :P Listen to Megadeth and you'd be disillusioned....

Pravesh Dhavale no metallica is the best band ever 🤘🏻 megadeth is just a fake 😂 ps: just a joke but metallica rules 🤘🏻

there is nothing from Megadeth that beats fade to black solo P.S. i'm a Megadeth fan

+Multiheall Caos I did a cover of this solo in my channel im so much better. haha just kidding

My comment was a joke, not a dick. Don't take it too hard

+Multiheall Caos HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Onyetenyewve Ossas fuck outta here

That vibrato was beautiful

right?

FadeToShadow How did they even end up in such Glorious place

got it, cause escobar.. oh.. yeah

You know the video's good when you see dislikes

tabs?

lmao

krik no

the mixer was crying so much and all tears drop through the volume button and the volume dropped down :/

Halo On Fire imo is almost as good as Fade To Black

ur cool jesus

I don't get everyone's problem with wah pedals. They sound fucking awesome.

I think this solo uses Wah for a short time on the 7-10 frets with 16ths

the entire song was recorded with w wah wah in the up position... fuck you

hahaha thanks

Good one :)

You can still do the intro solo.

me too lol

Take 22 with banding what else to do? My previous guitar was 22 and I was always pissed that I can't play things which include 24 fret guitar especially kick ass arpeggios of Jason Becker in Serena! So yeah get a new guitar hopefully

+David Aghamalyan i think im gonna buy a 30 fret guitar... 😂😂😂

Look its like this if you are 21 you need 21 frets if you are 30 then 30 frets! Thats what Jimmi Hendrix said when he was high on weed and was wearing his psychedelic bandana

DONE

4 years later :)

@@puchu_5001 now 6

after 1 month, 7

Ya

Pepper Ludemann how long have u been playing for?

LOL. He posted that 2 years ago xD

@@Ground_Zero_13 So?

@@berni2905 I'm 16 and I can play it too (mostly). I play everyday about 2 hours, sometimes more. I play the guitar for more than 8 years, but the electic guitar "just" 4

@@juwe3727 How does this answer my question?

Walter McWilliams Right? Been trying to find how to play it properly as this is the only lick I struggle playing in this song lol.

Hey, I'm doing well, thanks for the beautiful words and you're most welcome!!!

@@DavidEscobarGuitar ❤️

dang was going to reply saying. Hope you reach your goal. But you commented this 6 years ago. Hope you completed your goal.

I seriously thought I was the only one who began playing like that! In a few months it will be 3 years since I started playing, but literally when I first picked it up I was like eff all those easy bands and songs I wanna play Avenged Sevenfold and metallica and after lots of practice I was able to play lots of solos just in a few months! Now I can basically learn anything in a few minutes if I feel like trying. In my opinion when people tell you to start easy its a waste of time start hard so your mind is used to playing hard things then eventually within a year of just learning hard things you'll be up there! So tip for guitarist out there if you strive to be good start hard and you'll be able to do anything and play a killer solo like its green day haha:)

Yeah I played the easy songs for about two months then moved on to attempt Van Halen songs. That was when my playing really began to improve.

NasalData yeah I know I headed straight for harder stuff I sucked horribly at first but I was determined I learned my first solo at 3 months in!

Same exact thing I did except with Van Halen Beat it solo. Very first song I started learning. It took a few months but I’m able to play it full speed now. Every song after that comes easy. also people think I’ve been playing for years and are very surprised when I tell them it hasn’t even been a year yet.

Until you enter megadeth territory, I began with sabbath since it’s my favorite band, the solos and songs became a bit too easy so I moved onto Metallica as megadeth ( my second favorite) is much too hard at my level.

que grande

+majed wabbi in my vision of what this song means...after 999999------> Death. Black.

+majed wabbi fade to black

I know this is a late reply, but look up the guitar hero version, it's the full version.

i want a tab since i play real guitar not random buttons on a stick

+majed wabbi its called google dude, just google "fade to black tabs" or check ultimateguitar

guitar warrior yea I still can’t play it lol

@@DevelDogg48 bro that is so easy

Vicente Sepulveda Bernales Sorry bro

I think I struggle the most with 2:15 - 2:19. There are no tabs in the video but this part is pretty hard to play perfectly.

no i can play it

Its technically not challenging I was playing at the early stages when I was learning how to play so your dream is not far away!

David Aghamalyan different people progress at different rates.

Chicken Boy Yeah Tell me about it just look at Tina S can you progress at her speed I don't think so!

Quantum Dave you mean the first one, dont you ? the second one is not easy in my opinion

Did you try to alternate pick all of it?

@@DoppeD I tried alternate, a sweep, hammer ons and pull offs. Could never get it.

@@eamonahern7495 I see. I guess we all have our Achilles' heel!

How is it going for you today? I found myself in the same pickle... The amount of hours i have poured into that tiny 9 notes bit, is absolutely ridicilous :D i think im starting to get there, but everytime i feel like im there, im not. endless circle

@BisseOnJees similar situation. I can get it at half speed but I always stumble when I speed it up.

They actually prime the guitar body and dip it into a barrel of liquid with a layer of paint floating on top of the liquid. I don't know what the process is called, but you asked how, so.

He asked how much it costs

Yeah, I know. He should be able to inquire on his own now. But I really don't know how much it costs, as I do not live in the US or Europe where these are very common processes.

Christian Whitmore I'm pretty sure it's hydrodipped and could very well be custom

Ikr

Prateek Gautam Well he made up this solo. I'm sure he played it exacly like the studio recording live in the early days. Kirk likes to garnish his guitar solos now.

Prateek Gautam Well, therefore Kirk is a Wah-player. His instrument of choice is the Wah pedal

Prateek Gautam the playing in this video is teaching purposes on how to play tight with technique. Kirk hammet playes the Solo, with heart and feel and live u will never have dry tone such as it is here in the video. Therefore u dont play an Ibanez for bluesy solo like this, because the Ibanez guitars have a very modern dry sound but they dont add any flavour to your tone. So the Guitar is very good for learning but not for tone with decent flavour on its own. Ofcourse u can run the signal through pedals and modify the tone but the Ibanez itself has no flavour.

Prateek Gautam Where do you get off saying he can learn from it? This is his solo creep! He's the one who can do what ever he wants to with it as far as improvising. He invented it!

Off course, that's a nice guitar.

~ Jack, you mentioned having the same guitar > What model Ibanez is this (and yours?) Many thanks.

@@viresmedia3546 maybe it is ibanez rg 2570 prestige

Start very slow (half speed or even slower) and every day increase the bpm in only one or two beats. It will take a while but you can be certain that you'll be progressing.

Thanks a lot to both of you, will give it a go!

Best is to deconstruct parts to a minimum of problem and then atack them one by one. Best is starting just with the bend and the 7th fret note, repeat that until its comfortable to play non stop at full speed , then add the rest of the legato notes, and voila!

xCaarlos its on RTM s channel bro that fading part he transcribed it perfectly and that part is actually sexy

Belan Valentin hooo un français cool super solo hin ?

Dude, it sounded insane on 2X, but I couldn't stop laughing when watching so XD

Robert

Thats BS. All his solos have something interesting. Specially from Ride to Load. Disposables Heroes is one of the best metal solos ever.

The shortest straw is very hard and Dyers eve

***** You see I don't have so much problems with the shredding although I can't play them the original speed but the major problem is the lick, anyways thanks for the advice you convinced me to keep on!

There is no magic to learn fast.

Play it at the pace you usually do, commit it to muscle memory, and play it a little faster and faster until you get to full speed

play with a metronome! practice playing "in pocket", rhythmically, as if you are a drum! Seriously, if you start focusing on this your fast playing will get so much better

irmasil3 Shitty Vibrato my ass

y nunca lo harás si sigues pensando así, ve por tu guitarra y con ayuda de este video empieza a darle :D

alex3087 totalmente deacuerdo.
