What are some heavy metal songs to learn on the guitar?

None asked:

I just started playing so I am not that experienced. The most challenging song I can play is Chop Suey – System of a Down, or Before I Forget -Slipknot.
I just need some heavy metal songs that are in that difficulty level.

    I just started playing guitar as well. I found About a Girl by Nirvana was pretty good to learn.

    Laid to Rest by Lamb of God sounds really hard, but i learned it within a year of playing. if you are good with your picking hand its easy.

    also, try any doom metal band. they play slower tempos typically and have easy guitar parts. bands like Isis, Cult of Luna and Mouth of the Architect.

    Why do you have to ask this?? It would have probably taken less time to type in google ~ easy heavy metal guitar songs.

    I don’t play guitar that often (I wish I could), but i do listen to a hell of a lot of metal. Some good slower songs are

    The Unforgiven – Metallica

    Afraid to Shoot Strangers – Iron Maiden

    Journeymen – Iron Maiden

    The day that never Comes – Metallica

    Farewell – Gamma Ray

    Unbreakable – Sabaton

    Children of the Sea – Black Sabbath

    Angels Calling – Sabaton

    Die Young – Black Sabbath

    If I were to learn any song though, I would go for a Metallica Instrumental, Like Orion, or The Call of Ktulu. That, or a classic like Iron Maiden’s The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, or Metallica’s Enter Sandman.
