To start learning Metallica - Holier Than Thou chords, build your understanding on these basic chords - Gm, E, G, E, Am, G, Bb, G and Gm in sequence. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 43 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 88. Given the song's key of E Minor, adjust the capo to align with your vocal range and chord preference.
