: I'm curious to know what Metallica riffs you find challenging or in your mind, impossible to play. I had trouble with Puppets at first. Battery is fast and also the part in the intro to Blackened where you jump to first position from seventh position.
I don't think they have any complicated riffs really. Some of the solos are hard to remember, and hard to keep time, like puppets. A matter a fact most of their stuff is easy to learn. They are not complicated writers, they are straight ahead. I really have a harder time, trying to get a an old Jazz piece right, than a Metallica song. If you have a grasp of playing, metallica is quite easy to get a hang of. I still give the guys credit, for remembering some of this stuff, and playing it on a regular basis, but if you know how to play, and you had an audition for Metallica in two months, I bet you could sound good for the audition. Yet it is hard to get their sound, and the small things of their music. I think a better question, is pick the hardest EVH riff, now that is a tough question
