Walkthrough[]

A section of the guitar solo as it appears in Guitar Hero: Metallica.
"One" is one of the songs in the last level of GH3, "Battle For Your Soul". It is generally considered one of the hardest songs in the game to full combo and hardest songs in the game, second only to "Through the Fire and Flames" in most minds. In "Fast Solo A", the song goes up to 22.5 nps (notes per second) ascending triplets. This has been just recently full comboed by JPrez44 of ScoreHero - the section is tappable, but one stray yellow note in the middle of the section cannot be hammered on, thus requiring a proper strum. Its sheer speed means that elbow strumming is possible, but highly unlikely, although the arrangement of the triplets is different in GH: Metallica, they can now be hit with the slider making it a tiny bit easier since most people could never tap this quickly, and there are no sneaky regular notes this time; though even with the slider, it's no walk in the park. Simply use star power here and strum consistently while fingering as fast as you can and you will pass. Fast Solo B then becomes the problem, as errors there can make the harder C and D cause failing. However, the songs intro and much of the first 5 minutes of the song is somewhat easy.
To get 5 star on this song you will need at least 383,000 points, in Hard, you need about 354,000, in Medium 250,000 and in Easy, about 160,000.

Trivia[]
- Although Robert Trujillo plays the bass for this song in Guitar Hero: Metallica (unless you're playing as someone else), he did not play the bass for the song in real life. Jason Newsted did.
- Only one person has ever FC'd One using only one hand on the frets. FrostedGH is that one person. Fast Solo A has been FC'd one handed by multiple people, however.
- This song has a few seconds intro resulting to look at a blank highway with a helicopter noise before the song plays.
