Alecs	Date: April 9, 2006 @ 8:25 PM Dude, I have one piece of advice to give you: PRACTICE! A lick that you should play that will help you be able to play that solo is the solo itself. We all get pissed about not being able to play stuff, man! Just keep working on it.
GeneHilbert	Date: April 9, 2006 @ 11:03 PM screw metallicrap - learning mattellica licks won't teach you guitar fingering techniques, scales, key and harmonic theory. If anything it could instill in you bad habits which might be hard if not imposable to break to break if they become hard wired. Learning guitar online can be daunting, I recommend finding a good teacher. Most music stores can point you in the right direction - if you can’t find ones on your own or want local references. Here are some sites to help. Sometimes posting links here screws them up so if the links don't work - copy and paste them into the address bar and remove blank spaces that might appear. All these sites work - I tested them to make sure they did. Hope this helps. http://www.guitarnoise.com/ http://www.riffinteractive.com/default.htm http://www.thetabworld.com/Metallica_guitar_tabs_2.html http://www.worldguitar.com/ionian.html http://www.theshredzone.com/content/article.asp?categoryid=6 http://www.andymilne.dial.pipex.com/index.shtml

shadowself	Date: April 10, 2006 @ 3:23 PM Just be VERY careful about the chords you use. This goes for everyone here. RESPECT METALLICA. MONTREAL — Metallica are taking legal action against independant Canadian rock band Unfaith over what they feel is unsanctioned usage of two chords the band has been using since 1982 : E and F. "People are going to get on our case again for this, but try to see it from our point of view just once," stated Metallica's Lars Ulrich. "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music." Metallica filed a trademark infringement suit against the indie group at the US district court for central California on Monday. According to the drummer, the continued use of the two chords causes "confusion, deception and mistake in the minds of the public". Metallica's lawyer, Jill Pietrini, told us that the band decided to take legal action only after first sending a letter of complaint to the Canadian band's singer/songwriter, Erik Ashley. "We sent a demand letter and haven't reached a resolution, so we had to sue," she said. "They continue to shamelessly feature the two chords on their website song samples and we just can't have that." Ashley, in the meantime, is still shocked by the entire story, and hasn't yet decided how the band will respond. "I thought it was a prank at first," he told us. "Now I'm not sure what to think." Ulrich states that he's not trying to prevent Unfaith from using the two chords, only that he feels Metallica should be credited for them whenever used, and is calling for 50% of all revenue generated from any song using them. "It's nothing personal against them," he added. "We intend to enforce our rights with any band intending to use Metallica-branded chords in the future." This marks the first time anything of this kind has ever been tried in court, and it will be interesting to see how things develop. Metallica's website has issued an official statement on the suit here. Unfaith's official website hasn't officially responded at print time. —Joe D'Angelo
EchoMinor	Date: April 10, 2006 @ 4:05 PM is that for real shadow? if so, wow they are really stooping
shadowself	Date: April 10, 2006 @ 4:22 PM hehehe... nah, not real. But would not surprise me in the slightest if it was.
wesme	Date: April 28, 2006 @ 12:32 AM When I learnt to play this solo, I think I was 14, it gave me the absolute shits. But you just need to take a step back, play the thing note at a time really really slow. This is my process for a difficult piece: Play the first bar repeatedly and slowly. If you make a mistake start again, never ignore the mistake and keep playing. Then move on to the next bar but now play the 1st bar and the 2nd bar. Keep repeating until your happy with it, now move on to the 3rd. So now, slowly, you will be playing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bar sequentially. By not practising each individual bar, you allow your fingers to memorise the transistions also. Also remember if you make a mistake you must start from the begining again. you can create bad habits if you don't correct your mistakes.
Alecs	Date: May 14, 2006 @ 3:36 PM wesme is right. If you make a mistake, you HAVE to stop and fix it. Don't let yourself get away with anything less than perfection.
