Hive Open Mic Week Number #105 Metallica - One | Final Solo Cover | By: @discouragedones

One: Words and Music by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich

Guitar Solo originally played by Kirk Hammett with Metallica.

Seems that Metallica Saturday's might be a cool little start to every week, so let's do it!

I'm playing along with one of my all-time favorite songs: Metallica - One. I just performed the last 2 minutes of the song, which IMO happen to be the most interesting :-). It's a bit sloppy, but good enough for a demonstration.

This is my cover of "One" by Metallica on the And Justice For All 1988 album .

This is just an amazing piece of music. The composition of this song fits the mood and lyrics perfectly. Lots of time changes happening in this track and a really cool fast paced solo!!!

Been dodging this ONE (see what I did there) for some time because of the pre verse part. It was always very confusing to me and I could never get it right. After some soul searching (internet=soul) and lots of live shows, I realized that those parts are actually really easy to play and figure out if you take out all the reverb, delay etc effects. LOVE this ONE and I hope you guys do too.

My Gear:
Guitar : Ibanez X Series XP 300FX
Amplifier : Blackstar ht club 40
Pedal : BOSS GT100 Amp & Effects Processor
Recorded with shure sm57 true cubase
Camera : Canon EOS 600D
Video Editing Software : PowerDirector 12

This is a masterpiece of a song, and I finally got around to making a cover of it.

Thanks all for tuning in again, this is one of those songs that sound simple but is quite the contrary. That's 99% of Metallica I guess. I always struggled trying to work out what both guitars were doing in those clean interlude sections and whether or not they landed on E or G before the blast beats. Turns out they each play a different chord. Anyways, I hope you like it. It's one of the first songs I ever learn't to play by Metallica for few years ago, or at least start to play.

My continuing effort to learn and play Guitar World magazine's top 100 solos of all time.

METALLICA!! Always a blast to play and always a good challenge, not only solo-wise but the rhythms can be murder on the right hand. Great fun!

Hope you like this one. Played a bit with my video editor with this one. Happy with the result. Learning all kinds of fun new stuff. i hope this video will be satisfied for years of all Metallica fan. thank's so much for the support

Hope you enjoy this with me, Cheers!!!

Lyrics:
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops in me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Back to the room that's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this shit off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Absolute horror
I cannot live
I cannot die
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
(No, no, no)
Yeah, fuck you
Alright now
Thank you very much my friends,
You treat good here man
We thank you very much, we'll see ya
Good night from Metallica, thank you!
