The Day that Never Comes

There is a great Kirk solo in this video. My main piece of advice is to avoid getting too caught up in that crazy descending lick on the E string. I consider it a button masher because it functions more like a pick scrape effect than a strict musical phrase. Just like a pick scrape, it sounds sick and really adds to the aggressive vibe of the song.

Do not stress about nailing that part note for note, because I can almost guarantee Kirk himself has never played it the exact same way twice haha.

I had never actually listened to this song before I went to tab it out. Wow, it is a monster tune! There are so many cool riffs thrown together to make a massive, epic Metallica song that reminds me of their older stuff. – Jason
