I’m playing along to the middle section of “Metallica – Master of Puppets”, including the solos. At the time I recorded this video, I didn’t have the tremolo bar for the Floyd Rose system, so I used pinch harmonics and bends for the squealie part of the solo. (I have since acquired a new tremolo bar.) I have received many comments about the first part of the interlude being played “too high”. People making such comments don’t realize that this part is a dual guitar harmony. James and Kirk each play a separate melody (one high and one low) to produce a very nice harmony. On the studio album, the high part of the harmony is much lower in the mix, hence the reason it sounds a bit strange when I play it in this video. However, if you listen to any live version of the song you will clearly hear this. If you still don’t believe me, I have cut out a small audio clip of their performance with the SF orchestra and isolated Kirk’s harmony part. Check out the link and hear it for yourself: www.box.net (Note: They have tuned down for this performance–it’s not in E standard) Audio was directly recorded to my computer using output from a Line 6 POD. Guitar is an ESP KH-2. Enjoy! For information on my playing, gear, recording method, and some of the tabs I’ve written for my videos, please visit my website: www.killrbuckeye.com
This 1950s video features composer, guitarist Vicente Gomez performing some of his Alegrias composition. For those unfamiliar with Gomez, he was born in Madrid in 1911 and got an early start in music performing flamenco in his father’s red light district tavern by the age of 8. Concert pianist Arthur Rubenstein eventually heard him play (presumably not while frequenting Madrid’s red light district!) and encouraged him to pursue a professional career. He toured the world performing in the 1930s and became a US citizen in the 1940s. He was drafted into the Army in 1943 and discharged in 1946, after which he opened a nightclub in New York, performing classical and flamenco music on his guitar nightly. During this period he also served as President of the New York Classical Guitar Society. In the 1950s he moved to Los Angeles and opened “The Academy of Spanish Arts” to teach classical and flamenco guitar, flamenco dancing, Spanish language, etc. He was also a frequent contributor to film music. Vicente Gomez passed away in December 2001 at the age of 90, just two months after his wife passed away.

@AFcunningham That’s because it’s not an acoustic… it’s a classic/flamenco guitar.

@thekingofmoney2000 As one with friends in Spain, I can agree. Spaniards are not Latinos, and Spaniards would agree.
