"The music and the solo in D.N.A.F.T were written for Gustav Almöf's CD "SPIDER" 2003 with the band constellation called Juggernaut. (...)I usually like to combine easy melodies with more bluesy stuff. When I do rock solos I improvise a lot and catch and keep the parts that make the melody sounds interesting and dynamic.

Kirk Hammett Solo Tricks

By Kristofer Dahl

Time to look at the style of this extremely popular heavy metal guitarist. Conveniently enough, this lesson comes right after the Matserclass "Hot Blues" lesson - because Kirk Hammett's style is in fact heavily inspired by blues. This lesson will mainly deal with Kirk's solo style from the Metallica "Black Album" and onwards . Mr Hammett himself claims his goal with his new solo approach was to get "a bit bluesier" - and the result was an effective blend of metal, blues and wah-wah driven madness. This lesson will take you one step closer to playing like your guitar hero.
