  • Welcome GMC! to a new "old" Metallica lesson!

    This music is based on the riffs of such albums as "And Justice for all" and "Master of puppets",

    Lots of continous down picking in here which give the riffs that agressive character (No alternate allowed),

    We're going to use minor scale as it's commonly done in Metallica's music and metal in general,

    We ARE going to use alternate picking on the latter part of the lesson during the fast 16th triplets doing unisons with the double bass drum,

    Have fun!

    * Scales we'll be using:

    The E minor pentatonic scale:


    The F minor scale:
