About
Kirk Lee Hammett is an American guitarist and composer, best known for his long tenure as lead guitarist of Metallica since 1983. Before that, he founded and played guitar for the thrash pioneers Exodus; his joining Metallica marked a decisive shift for both the band and the 1980s heavy metal scene.
Hammett is noted for a technical yet melodic style, frequently employing arpeggios, bends and modal variations—traits heard in solos such as those on “Fade to Black.” Largely self-taught, with additional study under Joe Satriani, he developed a virtuosic approach that has earned critical recognition: he appears on lists of top metal guitarists, including those by Rolling Stone and Joel McIver’s book.
Beyond his work with Metallica, he has contributed to and appeared on diverse projects, including recordings for other artists and audiovisual media. His influence on subsequent generations of guitarists reinforces his position as a central figure in contemporary heavy metal.
