Metallica – Blitzkrieg (Play-through, rhythm) w/TABS + PARTS

I based this song on Metallica's performance of Blitzkrieg from the tuning room video down under. Here you can get a good view of how both James and Kirk plays it. The live performance seemed most practical to play to me, so there might be some small differences from the album version. I went through the most essential parts in the PARTS section (with one smaller power chord bit left out for efficiency sake). I hope you learn and enjoy!

I fancied playing some faster heavier music and decided this song would be good to learn proper down stroking. Turns out that judgement was right. Simple song but damn, that tempo really destroys the wrist lol. At .95, will get there one day. Great video. :D
-
Great job! How did you get this tone?
-
That was neat Mate, but what guitar effect do you use? It sounds so close to the record!

At 6:36 and 6:50, I think you should be striking the A string as well as D and G strings, with your index finger making a bar across both E and D strings throughout. So that when your pinky hits the high F (10th fret of G), you're also playing the F an octave below (8th fret of A) - and ditto for 7th fret of G & 5th fret of A later on in the riff, creating two simultaneous D notes an octave apart. At least that's what I think I can hear in Metallica's version.

Nice thank you I couldnt figure out the part 6:31

Bro I learned on your first section of the video thinking that was the tutorial but I found out later you have a slower break down 😂
