Metallica - Blackened (Instrumental cover)

One of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite albums ...And Justice For All. Just like a lot of Metallica's album openers one word that I always use for it is relentless. Starts off with the typical mellow/melodic intro before unleashing into the thrash anthem that it is. Great for right hand gymnastics! Hope you enjoy!


Recording info as always:
Guitars and bass were done with the AFX3. I used one of my ENGL Savage presets for the rhythm guitars and my Dual Recto lead preset for the leads and solo. For the bass I made a new bass patch from scratch . The drums were done with Superior Drummer 3, using a kit from the Metal Machinery SDX.

You'll notice that at the start of the second part of the solo I kinda shrug, that's because there's no way I can play exactly what Kirk plays during that fast tremolo picking part, so it's just an approximation :P
