"Fade to Black" by Metallica is the first song I learned with the first band I played in as a teen (Ah, the memories!)

It's also a very interesting song from the music theory point of view. I remember being particularly puzzled by the change of key ('modulation') at the end of the solo.

Then I forgot all about that for years.

Recently, I was hearing a few friends discussing exactly that modulation... and how it did not make any sense to them. And I remembered my earlier puzzlement.

Thing is, right now after all these years of music theory, that modulation looks quite simple to me... but of course I am biased! Music theory is my area of specialization!

So here's a simple video that shows how the Fade to Black modulation works, why it sounds so smooth and natural, and how you can do the same on your own songs.
