Have you got any riffs that you find enjoyable that also help practise techniques – at an intermediate level
Have fun is the best advice, otherwise you'll end up hating it and giving up
recently bought a schecter demon 6, and I thought I should watch this to play on a higher level to get the most out of it, I can already play fast as hell, on time, and the right notes, but I havent mastered alot of the basics, like chords
I'm 18, beeing playing for 2 years and just started playing metal for almost a year.
I was kinda jealous of all my friends since they had me teaching them stuff and oh boy they improve so much quicker than I did lol.
I started with a cheapo acoustic and was stuck with it for quite some time, that killed my progress but it made me a better player once I moved to an electric.
Gear is important. That's true. I'm using LTD Viper 100fm with seymour duncan mayhem distortion set and VOX VT20X amp (I made a preset based on soldano emulation) and i really love it!
But the most important thing is to enjoy playing the guitar, not to turn it into a routine.
Good luck folks!
zakk wylde uses the 10-60 set for drop c# and a 11-70 set for drop c, the dude is a beast
Yeah so I just watched your whole video. What the hell am I supposed to play though? I already own gear and know how to hold a pick. What do I play to sound metal? Are you supposed to palm mute while you chug? Am I just supposed to learn songs from heavy bands and play that? Actually kind of confused. Thanks bro.
if your a beginner, listen to this man, he knows his shit!!
Good advices for beginners thank you for'em !
This is awesome, great advice!
thank you, this is going to help a lot!
I would add that guitarist should practice standing up as well. Especially, if you plan on playing in a live setting.
I think Rob Flynn said Dimebag told him one time and I’m paraphrasing “ You wouldn’t go to war sitting down would you?”
Wow you described my early years of guitar perfectly. I also started out with a squier, and I also didn't like the 22 frets (wanted to play the welcome to buckethead solo with 24), the tremolo would untune my guitar, loud humming noise, etc etc. haha The SHAPE of the strat though, it's still the most comfortable for me sitting down and playing.
Is peavy vyper good
Always struggle a bit with classical positions. The new Schecter sunset ghost at my place is definitely better for that position than the ltd ec 1000???? but it still feels either as if th guitar is sliding down or it rests so much on the left lap I have to lean forward ????♂️.
But I’ve seen old guitarists playin in rock position as well and getting through with it, may be me someday ????????
Artist Guitars also have some pretty affordable beasts, I bought a gnosis 6 for roughly $250~ aud and it's been my go-to guitar ever since
Got a Cort x100 great budget guitar fret work is top notch slapped some 10s on and she's great
how cool brits were i never thought:D
Great video as always dude! If i could give one tip to the beginners it would be DON'T OVERTHINK! Obviously you need to pay attention to things but I delayed my picking hand progress for years by trying to be overly analytical with it. When I just started going for it and playing I found that my hand just kinda naturally corrected things I originally was stressing about!
I guess for beginners modelling amps are better like spider or others since with that you get basic pedals, noise gates and so many head options like all you recommended
Got his Metallica course when it first came out! Highly recommend for beginners ????
Eeh..! What about speakers? Real or maybe IR. ????
Do you actually use the 23rd and 24th fret much? Looking to buy a metal guitar. Not looking to spend a lot and found an older Ibanez Korean model with an Ibanez locking trem. It’s only 22 fret though. The guitars I currently own are 22 fret and no Floyd/etc. Should I keep looking?
Great great video
When I was poor cuff,cuff still ???????????? I subscribed to guitar world magazine and I didn't have a guitar
First you need somebody who shows you how to use a DAW…
In every video they start with the waveform from the signal allready visible, i don't even get that far despite all connection's are correct…????
Well damn, thats older than me
Been playing 35 odd years now, still a beginner, however, absolute Ninja blackbelt in buying new and old gear
Excellent Knowledge Time Crunch! Thanks, Jamie!
