Metallica - Fade To Black - Cliff Burton Tribute!

Fade To Black - Metallica. A special tribute to Cliff Burton from Metallica! Yesterday was Cliff Burton's birthday and I played this song as a special tribute to him for the Cliff Burton Day event held on 8th and 10th Feb. The Cliff Burton Family has been very supportive ever since we got connected way back in 2022 when they awarded me the Cliff Burton Scholarship. This video gave me a chance to look back at the special connection I've had with Cliff Burton being an inspiration when I started playing guitar, to the moment I got connected to his loving family and created a very special friendship and to the time when they helped me by connecting me to Metallica to get Master of Puppets song cleared for me for the first time ever when I played on America’s Got Talent just recently! Do you know Master of Puppets is one of Cliff's favourite songs and his favourite album? It's been quite a journey. So here is a special tribute to Cliff Burton and I've added my own improvs to “Fade To Black”. I played this with no backtrack and with only programmed drums and bass. I really love “Fade to Black” as it is one of my most favourite songs because of how touching and heartfelt it is. I really wanted to make it special for Cliff Burton to honour his legacy so let’s all take a moment to remember this legend!
