You just can’t get enough Black Sabbath so here is Paranoid. It’s a quick and dirty lesson really but it will give you a decent idea and you should be able to clean it up and play it better then the video with a little practice.

This is part one of a 2 part lesson which covers all the guitar riffs in Run to the Hills. I was brought up on Maiden and when I bought my first guitar (aged just 11) I desperately tried to learn all their tracks. If only the internet had been round in those days to help.

These videos are high quality and providing you are at the right level they should really help you learn the main parts to this song. Next part of this lesson to follow tomorrow.

The Black Sabbath fast riff

Metal Guitar Riffs — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:21:29 +0000

Not for the faint hearted, this fast and furious metal guitar riff requires nimble fingers but is surely one of the most impressive pieces of heavy guitar both visually and aurally. If you find the other stuff easy then this is one to add to your arsenal.

Master of Puppets by Metallica riff

Metal Guitar Riffs — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 20:29:16 +0000

Finally someone who has managed to get a decent distortion sound. This is one of the areas which I see people fail at all the time. Many bedroom guitarists create a horrible raspy, messy sound. Distortion isn’t about making a horrible noise, it’s about a well sculpted, compressed and powerful tone.

Anyway, I digress, here is the opening riff to Metallica’s Master of Puppets. One of my personal favourite metal songs of all time. It’s quite fast and involves heavy palm muting as many Metallica tracks do. Learn it slowly and cleanly and increase speed only when you have done so.

Learn the riff to Black Sabbath’s Iron Man

Metal Guitar Riffs — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 20:07:18 +0000

This has been called the greatest metal riff of all time and therefore is a must for your repertoire. It’s a simple riff based on power chords so shouldn’t take you long to pick up. Just concentrate on making it sound clean as these big distorted power chords can sound messy if not played cleanly and neatly.

Black Sabbath’s Black Sabbath – The opening riff

Metal Guitar Riffs — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:15:09 +0000

This is the opening riff from the metal song Black Sabbath off one of “the original” metal albums, Black Sabbath, by the metal band Black Sabbath! Everyone knows it so it’s one to make friends and influence people with! It’s a nice simple riff for you novices. Plenty of distortion is a must to get the truly heavy metal sound!

“The Metal” Riff

Metal Guitar Riffs — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 20:03:59 +0000

This is the main riff from Tenacious D’s “The Metal”. It’s a little more difficult that the previous beginner stuff we have posted as the tempo is increased and there are several hammer ons and pull offs. However this is a great metal riff and the song repeats it over and over so once you have mastered it you can pretty much play half the song!

Enter Sandman Intro Riff

Metal Guitar Riffs — Mon, 24 May 2010 19:00:20 +0000

When I was as old as this kid I was probably learning the exact same guitar riff (was the Black Album out 20 years ago?), so in my book that makes him the best person to teach you. He actually teaches it really well, doesn’t mess about and make it too long but keeps everything clear.

This Metallica intro riff is a classic as should be one of the first riffs for any self respecting metal guitarist to learn!

Smoke On The Water Riff lesson

Metal Guitar Riffs — Mon, 24 May 2010 00:01:30 +0000

Where better to start than Smoke on the Water? An easy riff, ideal for beginners. I’ve always used this as a starting point when teaching other people guitar. Most people play the first (power) chord as strings 3 and 4 open as opposed to the way he shows it but either way gives you the correct sound. He also give a little bit of info in inverted power chords!
