  • Hi GMC'ers! It's time for the third solo, and probably the most cherished solo from this track.

    Technically speaking, the beginning of the solo can be a little tricky or difficult. It contains a very fast but easy to memorise tapping solo. The rest are mainly bluesy phrasings, with a metal approach, typical to Kirk Hammett.

    Another thing that is interesting to mention is that it is rumored that this solo was probably written by Joe Satriani(or parts of it). Kirk used to take lessons from him at this time, and the beginning tapping part was a hint from Joe.

    Techniques:
    * Tapping
    * Tremolo Picking
    * Slides
    * Hammer-ons
    * Pull-offs
    * Bluesy Phrasings
    * Vibratos

    Tuning:
    * Standard D
    * D - G - C - F - A - D
    (From thick to thin string)

    If you have any questions:
    * Give feedback (upper-right-corner)

    * General Forum

    Have Fun!/ Zsolt
