Whiplash Guitar Lesson – Metallica

In this Whiplash guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this Metallica classic off of their Kill 'Em All album in it's entirety.

The tuning is standard tuning.

*** Quick Note! At the end of the main riff I might have missed a quick pull-off. After doing the 765 part, you do hit an E5 power chord, but right when you hit it, also play a very quick pull-off from 3 to 0 on the 6th string with your middle finger! ***

There are some great riffs in this one. The riffs are also pretty easy compared to Metallica's usual output. I will cover every riff in the order that each appears in the song.

I will also cover Kirk Hammett's solo phrase-by-phrase. There are some great legato licks in this one and it is a great example of Kirk's playing in his early days with Metallica.

Have fun with this great Metallica track everyone!

Carl...
