Kirk Hammett is one of my all-time favorite guitar players in the world.
I've learned so much from his playing, solo's and sounds.
I don't think that there is another guitarist out there who's solo's I all know by heart!
I thought this deserved a little tribute!
It started with a preset with 4 scenes that I've been working on to jam on with my ESP LTD KH-602.
This turned out pretty awesome so I thought I'd record this little clip and share the preset with you guys:
I didn't make the preset to be 'scientifically accurate' but I wanted the tones to have a similar sound and feel to them compared to the black album/black album tour-ish.
There wasn't a good JC120 IR in the Axe FX I think so I made a tonematch from the Guitar Rig 5 JC120 amp/cab.
I thought that sounded pretty good.
Here is a short description of the Scenes:
1:Tight crunchy rhythm tone using the Mesa MKIIC+ amp model. This tone reminds me a lot of the early 90 tones.
2:Lead tone with more midrange and some mild delay. (Kick the wah on in this preset, I tried to get the Wah sound close to Kirk's wah sound)
3.Clean tone with JC120 GR5 tonematch.
4.Clean tone with Chorus.
I hope you enjoy this!
Keep in mind I used a guitar with EMG pick-ups, if you want this preset to sound close use EMG's.
You know what would be really cool?
If more guys make clips of their favorite Metallica solo's with this preset and post them here!
