Tenacious D “The Metal” Intro Tutorial

-READ BELOW!!!-

I make it easier to learn how to play the intro of “The Metal” by playing it at normal speed, and then again slowly. Standard Tuning.

Here is a link to the tabs I based this off of.

The distortion I use is a Line 6 “Pod Xt”. Heres the link-

And the amp I use is a Marshall mode four 350 watt Head (mf350) with a mf400 Cabinet.

  16. If you pick more during the hammer-ons the sound comes out a little easier. You are definitely right about playing it fast. It is so much harder to keep track of where you are when playing it slower.
