Hal LeonardLearn to Play Guitar With Metallica (Book/Audio Online)
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Guitar method book that teaches technique through Metallica songs, with online audio. For newer players who want lessons built around music they already like.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Beginners who lose interest in generic method book exercises
- Players building downpicking and palm-muting stamina
- Learning riffs alongside the technique that produces them
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Advanced players who just want full song transcriptions
- Anyone wanting a broad multi-genre method course
- Players with no internet access for the audio
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Online audio access
Demo and play-along tracks stream or download, so you hear the target before you attempt it.
Detail 03
Guitar tab format
Fret numbers instead of standard notation. You can begin immediately without reading music.
Detail 04
Metal-focused material
Heavy on downpicking, palm muting and tight right-hand timing — the techniques this style depends on.
Detail 05
Entry-level pricing
Cheapest of the tab titles here because it is instruction-led rather than a full album transcription.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Audio is online access, not a bundled CD — you need a connection to redeem
- 02Downpicked riffs are physically demanding; build speed gradually
- 03No guitar, pick or tuner included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music?
No. Parts are in guitar tab, so you follow fret and string numbers rather than standard notation.
02How do I get the audio?
The audio is accessed online through the book rather than on a disc. Follow the access instructions inside.
03Is this for total beginners?
It is a learn-to-play method, so it starts with instruction. Some prior familiarity with holding a pick helps.
04Does it have complete songs?
It teaches playing through the band's material. It is instruction-led, so expect lessons built around parts rather than full transcriptions.
