Metallica has announced a partnership with the online course platform Masterclass to teach how to form a band. The classes will be presented by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett , and Robert Trujillo , who will reflect on their four decades of collaboration in music.
The course consists of 15 video lessons lasting 2 hours and 45 minutes each. According to a promotional video from the band itself, the course will offer "a journey of strategies to grow and stay together as a band." The group will also teach how to maintain longevity and the best way to communicate and manage criticism.
“We have maintained our bond for over 40 years because we have learned so much from each other and about ourselves over time,” Hetfield said in an official statement. “In our class, we not only teach Masterclass participants how we write songs and find inspiration for our music, but how the experiences we have had together have contributed to a successful creative collaboration.”
The course is available on the Masterclass website as part of an annual package for US$180 – approximately R$1,000 at the current exchange rate – which entitles you to over 100 lessons taught by celebrities and expert instructors. Check out a trailer of the project below.
