I'm a beginner guitarist and I was needing some fairly simple metallica riffs. Or even maybe some riffs from other bands that rocked. Thanks for the help you all have given me in the past!

I think its safe to say most heavy metal players prefer humbuckers and a high gain amp, but you can play anything with any guitar. For fun I often run my tele through one of the high gain Marshall models on my tonelab and it sound just fine. And yes, sometimes a pluck out some Metallica too.

I will say though, although they are one trick ponies as far as I'm concerned, a les paul sounds a lot better when whaling on some high gain power chords. There's something more satisfying to it, maybe just more familiar...

do you play this stuff on a tele?

Not to hi-jack this thread but.... I play Tele's and my main amp is a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (Road King). My main guitar is a Pink Paisley, how do you think that looks playing Metallica?? Tele's sound better at this than a Strat IMO. The other guitarist in my band went one step further and put humbuckers in his tele and plays harder stuff that puts most "rock" guitars to shame.

www.guitartest.moonfruit.com has several clips of my Tele with my Boogie (on the Road King page).

Just some FYI.

yeah. I figure if a strat can be metal, then so can a tele. one isn't that much older than the other. they're both from the 50's.:eek:
