Reefer Head Woman by Jazz Gillum & His Jazz Boys (1938) is a forerunner of the heavy metal sound, with an electric guitar solo--one of the first ever--by a teenaged George Barnes at the start of his spectacular career as a guitarist.

Classic blues, even with an electric guitar. Precursor to rock? Sure I could go that far, but metal? Nah.

That’s closer to blues with a jazz riff if you ask me
