Can any of you guys recommend me some metal songs (new or old) that are easy to play on guitar but still sound really wicked? All the metal I listen to is way to advanced for someone who has only been playing since February of '08.

I can play pretty much all of Seek and Destroy by Metallica, the main riffs of Enter Sandman, and some of Dying In Your Arms by Trivium. I want to learn more songs, songs that are easy, yet a bit of a challenge and fun to play (and also sound epic).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Beheading of A King by Amon Amarth. The Riffs are very easy to pick up. Thoughest part on that song is getting the palm muting right on the first try.

In Flames has some pretty easy riffs in some songs. Granted, most of their songs are pretty ridiculous, but some do have some easy stuff.

The mainish/ending riff on The Inborn Lifeless isn't too hard.

Most Black Sabbath stuff isn't that hard to play but still sounds good.

Metallica - So What is really easy. Although it sounds more like a punk song with a ton of distortion than metal.

Preferably songs that I could play 100%, every part of it. Meaning it has an easy solo :p

Well you won't play the solo, but you will play the rest.

Metal songs with easy solos? I think you're playing the wrong genre.

Well, i don't know what kind of metal you like or are talking about so here is my suggestion: Opeth

Opeth has some great riffs that are not too slow and not too fast. Look into them if you haven't already heard them, and for easy guitar, look into specifically Advent from their album Morningrise.

As for other songs...Postmortem by Slayer from Reign in Blood

Yeah...no, try the solo from When by Opeth from the album My Arms your Hearse, pretty easy solo to be honest
