lots of arpeggios in metallica. Fdd you should start off with something besides Metallica if you wanna learn better rhythm, start slow. Hetfield is an insane rhythm player, scary thing is he uses mostly downstrokes. The Sabbath book is probably better for now. Then go back to the Metallica, they have some crazy time signatures and serious tempos...please tell me you didn't start with And Justice For All, talk about some serious technical work, and time signature switches in the middle of songs. I've been playing 14 years and that is some seriously hard stuff.

i'm working on NIB.

Cool that's a nice one. I love playing Sabbath it's so simple but effective. That guitar looks pretty nice by the way.

I know I keep harping on this but you should find a drummer and bassist to jam with. Do that for two hours once a week and I guarantee you that you will become so much better in a short time. You'll learn more in those first two hours than you have learned. It's also very hard to learn rhythm without some drums that will get you nice and steady. You must know someone who plays and likes to get high?

everyone's a guitar hero.

i had to cut the intro and part of the end. it was to long. YouTube - cut version

nice seems like you got all the notes down....now just play along with it on the stereo and get the timing down and your done!

Get a small somewhat band started or another guitarist and a drummer atleast. When you jam together you learn alot about timing and rhythm the drummers and bass help with your timming, tempo and all that jazz.

Let me know when you can play Sweet Child O' Mine on guitar decent cause u and me will jam it on guitar and ill have my bass player and drummer in the background and well pass the bong around ( best way to begin, end and just in the midle of songs)

hahahahaha YouTube - open E

Love it. I like to sometimes just chug away on that open as well. Another thing you might enjoy is drop d tuning. If you don't know it's when you tune your low E down 2 steps to a D, then you can just bar the first 3 strings and it creates a power chord. chuging on that is fun too. Just don't get too used to it or you will never learn the proper way lol. I've seen some kids that don't know a standard power chord, cause they listen to the new metal and tune down to drop D, or C, or lower yet!!! I would like to get one of my guitars setup up for zack wild strings and low tuning. those strings are nearly the size of bass strings. ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
