The most difficult Metallica riff from each album (with tabs) 

now imagine playing those riffs while you sing 💀

I swear Creeping Death is the easiest riff on Lightning, idk if it’s because I never had trouble with downpicking or the fact that you don’t really need to move your left hand much. But I’d say the spider riff on Ride The Lightning is the hardest. It’s so awkward.

Fight Fire with Fire is by far the Hardest on Lightning.

What I believe has the most difficult riffs of each album Metal Militia Fight Fire With Fire Damage Inc. Dyers Eve (or Frayed Ends) Through the Never Thorn Within has a underrated (not difficult) riff Fuel St Anger That Was Just Your Life (or B,B,& S) Am I Savage (harmonics) It's not that Lulu has a difficult riff, the difficult part is listening to the songs.

The St. Anger bit got me hahah, but as someone who enjoys St. Anger just as much as other albums, I can say that the hardest song on it would probably be All Within my Hands, especially if you're a maniac and try to downpick it like James does. Great video tho :D

Dyers Eve is easily the hardest song on AJFA if not metallica song in general

bruh where is ur jack cable

On my opinion, you should add Disposable heroes to your list. The tempo of this song and the accuracy of the performance really make you tense up when playing it.

I can already feel my wrist tense up by watching you play creeping death

King nothing is such an underrated song. It’s not hard, it’s just badass

You should have played Some Kind of Monster from St. Anger. The notes in between fucked Kirk for real.

Creeping death is literally the first riff i ever learned, idk why people say its hard, I think fight fire with fire is way more fitting for the hardest riff of RTL.

I'd argue Fight Fire With Fire bridge of whatever between the main riff sections are harder than Creeping Death. But also that's played only a few time in the song while Creeping Death's riff requires a lot of stamina :D

as a Guitarist who has learned Blackened, Im still struggling with my galloping, Downpicking and TIming at the same time everytime I play it

7/4 part is deceptive in Blackened, the palmmuted zero is basically part of the tail end of the riff, and you start every riff after first one on the actual note (7th fr. A) But i think i'm just accustomed to weird signatures, not sure Agree completely by the way, these songs sound deceptively easy

Dyers in my opinion is the most difficult Metallica song in general. It's just fast and oddly structured.

“How can I show off but not seem too cocky?” Lmaooo great video man

your tone is very good

Dude your a legend keep it up!

Dyer's Eve and either shortest straw /beholder / frayed ends ..because they're too long..i agree mop damage inc and battery are also challenging. Trapped under ice and fight fire with fire are bad ass thrash riffs.

Only these: Jump in the fire, Four Horseman, Phantom Lord, Metal Militia Especially for Wah.

Id argue Fight Fire With Fire is harder than Creeping Death. Also Disposable Heroes would be my pick for Master of Puppets

yeah the teleporting technique in 7:32 is surely the hardest I've ever seen.

In the black album I'd pick Through the Never, i was supposed to strugle on it because of the downpicking.

Did anybody else notice that he’s not even plugged in!?!?!

Great vid, ur also a killer player

In my opinion AJFA is the best album. So many good songs.

I thought that invisible kid was pretty difficult to play.

St Anger is by far the most difficult riff, because you have to hear St Anger while you play it.

Struggle Within or Through the Never for black album

good tone bro

I think Disposable Heroes is the hardest in Master of Puppets.

bună treabă, prietene. Mulțumiri😀

the god that failed without bass is absolutely depressing

my hands can do Blackened but my brain can't!

That The Frayed Ends of Sanity's bridge riff is missed.

You should do the hardest riff from every Megadeth album next

Is your guitar plugged in?

Excellent

u could have picked through the never on the black album, that's at least a bit tricky

Some riffs are incorrectly , F instead F#

Missed opportunity on St. Anger: St. Anger Song: Some Kind of Monster - It's the notes in between that are fucking with me

My guitarist string broke when I playing Damage Inc so hard picking.

On black album should be Nothing Else Matters intro

Where is the dude with the timestamps tho?

I would think no remorse is more difficult also Fight fire with fire, Dyers eve and Holier than thou at least for me are a little bit trickier. But good video and top man

Creeping death was the first song I learnt to play along with seek and destroy on guitar about 18yrs ago.... Still not a good guitarist but can smash out a decent creeping death

Frayed ends of sanity

The minion in the top left: 👁👄👁

Very cool,

I will find ur house for that tone

like to mention that on Load, Ronnie also hard to play correctly

Bro even using the hetfield grip

I feel like the four horsemen is tuff to play

I gave up playing fast downpicked songs. I play too many kinds of music to practice enough to keep up that kind of stamina for a handful of Metallica riffs. Id rather just listen to them.

Damage Inc is so hard that the guy himself couldn´t play it even 80% accurate

I wish I could play without a cable

What’s funny is as someone who’s played guitar on and off for 14 years untrained, I can play every riff to every Metallica song, but god damn, put a Beatles song in front of me and I might as well be trying to order breakfast in Finland...

0:11 Kill Em’ All 1:19 Ride The Lightning 2:21 Master Of Puppets 3:49 And Justice For All 4:35 Black Album 5:33 Load/Reload 6:49 St. Anger 7:06 😂 7:09 Death Magnetic 8:54 Hardwired to Self Destruct

The most dificulty song of metallica: The four horsemen Reason: dave mustaine. (only joke.)

Even MetallicA self say that "the Frayed Ends of Sanity" is the most complicated song they have ever written. So... I'll stick with that one!

So we're gonna act like Through The Never or The Struggle Within werent ther hardest songs off The Black Album huh?

I love how you remembered the unmuted hit at 2:04 at the beginning of that riff when it's played for the third time. So many people miss that little detail.

7:58 also remember that James also sings while playing that riff!!

Master Of Puppets isn’t 220bpm, it’s 212

Mad respect, I play for half a year myself, I really wish I had your skill, man

I’d add Disposable Heroes :-)

For Kill 'Em All I would have put the Four Horsemen. The palm muting at the beginning is hard to get right, the pinch harmonic is placed in a difficult spot, and the Sweet Home Alabama bridge is kinda hard.

I'd say fight fire is more difficult from ride the lightning, mainly the prechorus riff. It's just a weird rhythm to play.

I think on the black ablum, through the never is the hardest for the downpicking

Bruh Creeping Death was the 2nd Metallica riff I learned after sandman

Youre picking like James Hetfield YOURE A GENIUS

My man butchered St. Anger Also hardest song on that album is either All Within My Hands or Invisible Kid

That break riff on damage inc. is by far the wildest metallica riff to play in my opinion sheeesh i goes haaard, and when the other instruments come along it's magistral

How long do you play guitar?

Wow, saying fuck you to St. Anger. Such a true metalhead... Really? Still?

you’re a legend for playing all of these

Blackened is their best riff. That one is just SICK. We have Jason to thank for it too!

Who plays guitar when cable isn't plugged in

he's not even plugged in. what an akward video.

Ahahahshh your guitar isn't even powered

Creeping death you have to downpick the entire song, but I personally think Ride the Lightning is a bit harder, just because of the bridge riff. Good stuff! Keep thrashing!

>St. Anger and Lulu skipped >Not saying every song is hard to play as it is hard to listen too 😔

Im having a harder time playing the alternate picking descending chromatic chords in ride the lighting and the solo section rhythm than creeping death

Black Album: "Through the never". That is pretty hard to play tight. At least I recall my forarm being pretty pumped up on that song, especially when playing backing riff for Kirk's solo. But maybe it was because I had already played 4½ albums before that 🤣 When I started to play guitar a thousand years ago, my first tablature book was MoP. That was also the first song I learnt to play completely, without Kirk's fast solo. I just practised and practised, usually 6-8 hours a day. I was 15 years old...almost 16 atm. Then about year later I played all five of their CD's in a row. I never learnt all songs completely, but most of them and many of the solos too...and at least some part from every song. Of course I wasn't that good at first, but maybe 6 months later I was actually pretty good already, and most people didn't believe that I had only played about 18 months. Well, it was only 18 months, but I still had more practise time, than most of the guys, who had played 3-4 even 5 years.

The kick ass riff that Kirk wrote in my apocalypse is hard af imo, palm muting, downpicking, harmonics

Fight Fire With Fire is much harder than Creeping Death

he is so good even though his guitar isnt even plugged in

Creeping death can be difficult at first but it’s more “finicky” if anything. Once you learn the verse riff properly, it’s much easier. Definitely a contender though

Oooo, very good. I would love to see a Megadeth version of this!

St. Anger and Lulu😂😂

“Creeping Death is difficult” Also Creeping Death: eeEeeEeEeeEe…

On ride The lightning The most difficoult song is trapped Under Ice

We should appreciate tho how he played Blackened all downpicking and holding the pick the way James does

nah through the never is WAY harder than the god that failed, that main riff requires so much dexterity

Gotta agree on dyers eve being a pain in the ass

Dyers eve is in my opinion way harder than blackened if you play it like the recording 23232323🤘🏻

Bruh through the never has just as downpicking as master

id say the hardest riff on the black album is probably through the never since it's downpicked

Man, you're really good at this, continue this way 'cause your video is funny and your skills are amazing.
