Operating with stakes as high as those, it\u2019s no surprise Nuno has already delivered what will be 2023\u2019s best guitar solo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standout guitar moment: <\/strong>That solo, and it\u2019s not even a competition. Filled with just about every trick up Nuno\u2019s sleeve \u2013 including a nod to <em>Flight of the Wounded Bumblebee<\/em> \u2013 this particular lead effort reaches superhuman speeds and displays near incomprehensible feats of virtuosic technicality, all in under a minute. Just another day in the office for Nuno, then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For fans of: <\/strong>Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, displays of untethered guitar genius<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Matt Owen<\/em><\/p>\n<div data-nosnippet>\n<p><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x_t53a5Ons0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is it? <\/strong>The third single from the thrash titans\u2019 highly-anticipated forthcoming LP, <em>72 Seasons<\/em>. 40 years into their career, Metallica aren\u2019t in the mood to go musical off-roading, per s\u00e9, but <em>If Darkness Had a Son <\/em>certainly isn\u2019t a bland retread of past glories, either. Underpinned by the churn of a massive, war-like groove from drummer Lars Ulrich and bassist Robert Trujillo, this snarling, seven-minute rocker delivers the goods \u2013 plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standout guitar moment: <\/strong>We\u2019ve all seen the memes, and read the online commentary, but at the end of the day, life\u2019s about simple pleasures, innit? One of those is hearing Kirk Hammett \u2013 after a few minutes of getting queued up by James Hetfield\u2019s ever-steely rhythm chugs \u2013 open a solo with some wailing wah-colored exclamation points, as he does here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For fans of: <\/strong>Megadeth, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <em>Jackson Maxwell<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"angel-vivaldi-x2013-six\">Angel Vivaldi \u2013 Six<\/h2>\n<div data-nosnippet>\n<p><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/16d7jXS2lPQ\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> We already knew Angel Vivaldi\u2019s new EP, <em>Away With Words: Part 2<\/em>, would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitarworld.com\/news\/angel-vivaldi-eight-away-with-words-part-2\">mark something of a departure<\/a> for the prog-metal virtuoso, and accordingly, his new single sets out to surprise. Opening with a flurry of tippity-tappity acoustic lines and sparse piano accompaniment, <em>Six<\/em> evolves into a Latin-flavored melodic instrumental rock masterclass whose alternating electric and acoustic leads are united by Vivaldi\u2019s outstanding note choices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standout guitar moment:<\/strong> There are far too many moments here, but that solo at 2.44 \u2013 with its irresistible descending tapped line \u2013 is bubblegum shred perfection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For fans of:<\/strong> Polyphia, Al Di Meola, Joe Satriani<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Michael Astley-Brown<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cradle-of-filth-x2013-she-is-a-fire\">Cradle of Filth \u2013 She is a Fire<\/h2>\n<div data-nosnippet>\n<p><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fGrxKLsgidg\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is it? <\/strong>A new track from Cradle of Filth, which ushers in the news that the band\u2019s first live album in 20 years, <em>Trouble and their Double Lives<\/em>, will arrive later this year.

From those intro strums to those intermittent arpeggiated punctuation marks courtesy of the sparingly used electric, <em>Fucked It Up<\/em> is a perfect example of the magic that can be created when simple progressions, textural accompaniment and a rip-roaring slide solo are thrown into a melting pot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Standout guitar moment: <\/strong>The pure acoustic strums and subtle tremolo-tinged electric flourishes carry the track, but<em> Fucked It Up<\/em>\u2019s soothing sonic landscape gets injected with a bit o\u2019 dirt when the gritty slide solo arrives and ups the ante.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For fans of: <\/strong>John Mayer, Beck, Wild Rivers<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2013 Matt Owen<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tigercub-x2013-play-my-favorite-song\">Tigercub \u2013 Play My Favorite Song<\/h2>\n<div data-nosnippet>\n<p><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oLnNRBet1v4\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong> Now signed to Stone Gossard\u2019s Loosegroove Records, UK riff-rockers Tigercub have announced their third album proper, and with it this eerie fuzz jam that recalls the rock bombast of fellow countrymen Royal Blood and the off-kilter licks of Queens of the Stone Age.
