Julian mentioned in the video description that he primarily plays bass, however, he began playing guitar at the age of six. While he ended up choosing to cover “Thunderstruck,” his initial intention was to imitate the late Metallica bassist Cliff Burton’s performance of “Orion” from Master of Puppets.
