Metallica Call Of Ktulu solo cover and lesson

Please support my channel by donating some $ - click on Thank You button below the video, or by joining the channel and donate monthly! Finally I am covering this solo to Call Of Ktulu by Metallica. Tuning: E standard. This solo features loads of different techniques, incluing bends, tapping, alternate picking across strings and more. One of the things many people seem to miss is that Kirk plays the D minor arpeggios across the strings using alternate picking (not sweep picking!). Definitely makes this lick tougher then! Also for the scale run in the first half of the solo, I play it using alternate picking, but it sounds like Kirk throws in some legatos in there. I suppose you can just pick any picking technique you want there :) I hope you enjoy this lesson as it took me a while to get this solo up to speed :) More lessons on the Ride The Lightning album are here:
