My Metallica Playlist!    • Metallica  

In this video guitar lesson you will learn Metallica's biggest hit "Enter Sandman" note-for-note is an extremely easy to follow format. I will guide you through all of the rhythm guitar sections and lead fills PLUS take you note-for-note through the now legendary solo by Kirk Hammett.

It's hard to believe that this song is a couple of decades old now, it still sounds so fresh and exciting today. This is the song that catapulted Metallica to the status of the biggest heavy metal band ever and was the first single off of the classic Black Album.

The rhythm guitar parts to this song can be studied by just about any level of player and are a great workout in techniques such as palm muting, sliding, arpeggiated picking and string skipping. The solo is a textbook Kirk Hammett tour de force of fast pentatonics and two string arpeggios.

So go ahead and take a swing at this great track by Metallica, you will be glad you did. GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!! :D

I never learned this because I was a good metalhead and thought it was too mainstream. Foolish. I can’t wait to learn the error of my ways and this song in 4k! 🤘

    I've learnt from Marty and I've learnt from Carl. And with no disrespect to Marty who is amazing in his own way, Carl has always made me understand and appreciate the nuances of each piece of music I've ever come to his channel for. I do not know if Carl is gonna see this but if you are Carl, I just wanted to let you know that I have nothing but immense respect and gratitude for you. Thank you!

    Carl you should most definitely re do Mr Crowley whenever you got the time. Appreciate all your work throughout the last decade you’ve helped me so much. Take your time boss
  • @tfairborne501
    Carl, I just wanted to say thanks to you. Quick run down Lost 2 record deals Quit playing/9-11 happened I joined the military. Didnt pick up the guitar for almost 2 decades. Picked up my jem about a year ago, alot of your lessons helped me focus, get my fingers and hands back in shape (still not to where I was) and fall in love with my instrument again. Thanks again bro keep the good stuff coming
  • Hey Carl I don't comment a ton on youtube but I have learned so many songs from you it's crazy! You have been my favorite guitar lesson guy on youtube for so long now I owe you a ton. I love that you are updating your old videos, I think that's awesome of you to do - a good one I would appreciate is Comfortably Numb especially the solo! Thank you 🙏🏻!
  • I've always felt like Metallica songs had long ass intros. All instrumental for about a minute. Masters of suspense.
  • @Ashaliel
    Man....thank you for putting so much effort into everything you do. I really appreciate it.
  • @nekiayrrah
    Love redoing the old stuff to update it, I know it's a lot of effort but I'll be glad to see some of those old videos updated. Thanks!
  • @Ergotamine99
    Just started learning this song using the original video series just a couple hours before this version was released. Perfect timing. Thank you so much Carl.

    I saw the post on Charlie. I have an 11 years old who is my shadow since he was 4 months old. I can't imagine the pain and sorrow. My heart goes out to you. I know that not long from now I will have to share in experience. I am really not sure I'm prepared.
  • @israguitarra
    Man I've been enjoying Metallica all my live since i was a teenager but never decide to play any metallicas song and now I'm old and want to play this song and maybe more . I want to say you are the best and professional on the web . Thank you !!
  • @timm6399
    Man, you nailed the wah in the solo. Sounded actually like kirk played it back in the 90s.
  • Man just amazing, my first Metallica song and solo I learned and picked it up in 1 day, absolutely big respect for you and the time you put in to make these videos
  • @hmpsguitar
    Awesome! Easily the best tutorial on this song I’ve ever bumped into. Thank you Carl
  • @danpost4755
    Great job on the re-do Carl! I really enjoy your channel and the wide variety of music you present.
  • @imnotaloser4923
    Nice! Enter Sandman is a classic. If we could see more Van Halen, that would be sick! Maybe Dirty Movies?
  • @LiveToWinn

  • @edwardglyons
