1. For Whom the Bell Tolls

Anyone familiar with playing Metallica’s songs will agree that For Whom the Bell Tolls is one of the easiest Metallica songs to play on guitar. The famous introduction to the song is actually played on bass with distortion and wah-wah (written by Cliff Burton even before Metallica), so if you really want to follow the exact notation and instruments, there’s one part less to learn. By practicing it you will master power chords and palm muting. This song has been performed live 1,383 times until July 12, 2017, so if they didn’t get tired of it for all these years, you should certainly give it a try and repeat it a couple of times while learning it.
