It’s funny how songwriting works sometimes, with Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” being a great example of how quickly, then slowly, a song can come to fruition for a band in the studio. “Sandman” was the first song written for the band’s 1991 international sensation Metallica, sometimes referred to as the Black Album for its all black cover (Spinal Tap anyone?). Though the music for the song was written first, and after a quick tweak of the opening riff from a 2 bar phrase to a 4 bar phrase, the lyrics were some of the last written on the album. Just goes to show that it’s always a good idea to keep a good riff and chord progression lying around, because you never know when a great set of lyrics will arise to match that riff.
From a guitarist’s standpoint, the song is a goldmine of classic metal riffs and bluesy, pentatonic soloing. Kirk Hammett really nailed the solo on this one. Sticking close to the stock Pentatonic Position 1, yeah the same one we all learned during our first music store guitar lesson back in the day, Hammett demonstrates just how valuable this scale fingering can be as he weaves in and out of several keys, and for the most part, sticking to the basic 1st position pentatonic. This is a great solo to learn for players who are looking to expand their melodic vocabulary without having to go out and learn a bunch of new scales and modes.
