As previously reported, Metallica lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is featured on the cover of the July/August issue of Guitar World's sister publication, Guitar Aficionado.
Earlier this week, we posted a link to the outtakes gallery from the issue, which you can find here, and now you can see exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from Guitar Aficionado's time with Hammett at this location.
The July/August issue of Guitar Aficionado is on newsstands now, or you can pick it up in the Guitar World online store here.
