It’s the big question. And every heavy metal fan I’ve met asks it: “Who was the BEST Metallica Bass Player?” Cliff Burton? Jason Newsted? Robert Trujillo? My answer is always the same, and in today’s lesson we’re going to find out!

We’ve also added some of the best Metallica bass lines to a free PDF workbook so you can follow along with all the tab and notation. This is your “minimasterclass” on heavy metal bass playing!
