"Enter Sandman" (Metallica) Solo Lesson/Analysis
One of my missions here at the Guitar School is to thoroughly transcribe and teach every single famous Metal so that you guys can have peace of mind that you're learning the correct version that isn't gonna stress you out and cause you issues.
The stuff we've been tackling recently has been more on the advanced side so I figured it's time we finally learn this timeless classic that absolutely everyone can have some fun with! Perhaps the quintessential Kirk Hammett solo, Enter Sandman features all of his famous trademark moves and quirks: fast pentatonic licks, simple catchy phrasing, whammy bar abuse, and even a bit of Dorian spice. So dust off that wah pedal and get to work!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

Amazing, thank you. Enter Sandman solo was one of the first like fastish solos i could at least approach to play up to speed. But i'm stuck here for a bit, i'm trying The Four Horsemen first solo, which seems doable, but some fast parts really messes me up. Any ideas what is like next level after Enter Sandman? And those more beginner lessons are always appreciated, i hope for more of those
nice Wonka reference
Can I request John Sykes' solo in Cold Sweat please?
Man, I remember learning this from the tab book back in the day, and it was......nothing like this lol
Yeah man those tab books were so cursed haha
Fantastic thanks! I love watching the advanced ones but they're far beyond me - I'll have a lot of fun with this one though.
Niiiiice, thank you Bradley!!!
Thank you thank you! This couldn’t have come at a better time. I started (finally) learning this solo last week, but could definitely benefit from an in-depth tutorial. I appreciate it, Bradley!
Glad I put off learning this one properly. I really like his solos on this album despite the flack they get.
Beautiful idea 🤘🤘🤘 thanks for your work Bradley
