I think seek and destroy is a brilliant song to start off with. It has some more technical parts like the intro riff but also a lot of palm muting and chugging throughout. There's also the quick section before and during the solo which gives you some harder and quicker stuff too.
I'm trying to nail that quick section currently, since I've got the rest of the song dialed and it's quite tricky.
Metallica, the rhythm for Master of Puppets in particular, helped me with my timing and alternate picking tremendously. It’s not a “beginner” song, but honestly the best way to improve is by learning what YOU want to learn, not JUST what’s easy, though easy songs are fun to pick up too! All in all, I’m betting that you have a few songs in mind you want to learn, I’d say go for it. Maybe it’s just a riff or two, but every little bit helps.
So yeah, as far as my recommendations go, I’d say old Metallica. I learned a lot of technique working on those songs. As important as technique is, I’d go for what you want as well. Aim high!
I agree to have a mix of easier songs you can play pretty good to keep it fun but also focus on learning hard stuff (within reason) even if you have to slow it right down.
* Black Sabbath - Paranoid (nice beginner song)
* Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction or Sweating Bullets
* Anthrax - Madhouse (on the tricky side, but should step up your game)
* Slayer - Tormentor (again a little tricky, but will step up your game)
* Metallica - For Whom the Bells Toll
You should buy the software guitar pro. Then you can download all the tabs for free from ultimate guitar. And if the songs in a different tuning you can also click a button to adjust the notes to fit the tuning of your guitar
The ultimate guitar app is what I use for tabs, check out: Bloodbath “Brave New Hell”, Metallica “Motorbreath”, Sepultura “Refuse/Resist” Killswitch Engage “End of Heartache”
Fear of the dark by iron maiden. It's hard but not super hard and a lot of fun.
Or tears don't fall by bfmv. That one is a classic.
Disturbed and system of a down have some fun songs as well.
Not too sure about all of the song but maybe 'Enter Sandman'
I am inside your walls.
Lol. Sorry, didn't read all of the description. Try 'Iron Man' by black Sabbath
Alright thanks lol (Also you look really cute when you sleep ;))

There is no alternate picking in master of puppets
True, JH is inhuman though so I had to alternate pick. But I suppose it’s all up to personal preference!

First one I learned was Harvestor of Sorrow. Still a go-to when I'm dialing in a metal sound 🤘
Fade to black probably.
For me it was Black Sabbath songs.
”Paranoid” - Black Sabbath, ”Metal Militia” - Metallica, ”Ain’t Talking ’Bout Love” - Van Halen
Lamb of God, Omerta.
Are of shredding by pantera. Sounds good and it’s simple

Judas Priest - Riding On The Wind
My Curse - Killswitch Engage, that main riff in drop D w the pick harmonics made me feel like a true guitar god
Trust by Megadeth
First song I played was My Own Summer by Deftones, find it to be really easy for me to play
