Kirk Hammett sat down with Ernie Ball to play some shred and talk about what got him into guitar. Believe it or not, it was Kirk’s solos on the Black Album that got me into playing guitar (guitar seemed much cooler to play than the trombone I was playing at the time). Kirk also goes into detail about why he loves Ernie Ball strings and which ones he uses. Catch Kirk on Metallica’s latest album Hardwired…To Self Destruct out on November 18, 2016. Here is Kirk on his String Theory!
