i can pull of some metallica lead parts but its the mega fast ones i have problems with and not just metallica other leads for other bands too and no matter how many times i play it slow to learn it...i still can't sound like kirk hammett
...so i was wondering if its hopeless or if there is a trick....i think a part of my problems is that i can hammeron superbly but my pull offs are weak...super weak and sometimes i can get my fingers moving pretty fast but i still need to be able to execute them pull offs
any soloing tips out there on how i can sound like kirk hammett?
much appreciation..peace

Yeah, there is a trick. It';s called practice. You seem to have noticed your pull-offs are weak. What do you expect us to tell you besides practicing them more untilyou can do it?

Welkom to GN by the way! :D

SLOW down the fast licks with a metronome. I did that just practicing a scale, and in 20 minutes, after speeding up slowly the results were incredible!!! Good luck.

Why do you want to sound like Kirk Hammett? Why don't you want to sound like you?
