Fade to black - Metallica

Today, I decided to learn a different song to widen and improve my range of techniques. The song opens with an acoustic riff, which is all picked - the only thing thing I struggled with was the speed and getting used to the awkward finger position movement because sometimes I would accidentally touch and then mute another string and then the next string would not sound because it's muted. To practice this, I done it very slowly and focussed on bending my fingers enough so I don't end up accidentally muting other strings, then I sped up and I became much more comfortable with the finger positions.

The next part is a lead solo part whilst being accompanied by the acoustic riff which underscores the solo. This is an extremely challenging part because it is filled with awkward finger positions, difficult techniques and fast licks. See vlog for further analysis.
