  • Hey GMC'ers! Let's take a look at the great metal solos in "Battery" by Metallica. This is off of their album "Master of puppets".

    Kirk Hammett was actually on of the first guitarist that I thoroughly admired. His creativity and feeling really blend in well with Metallica's music in my opinion.

    Techniques/ Trademarks:
    * Pull-offs (to open strings)
    * Wah Pedal Use
    * Random Chromatic Passages
    * Melodic Lines

    Scales:
    * Be Aeolian Mode
    * E Pentatonic Minor

    If you have any questions:
    * Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
    * My Personal Board
    * General Forum

    Have fun learning this one! /Daniel
