Hey bro, last one should've been 6.45. thanks for putting it up there anyway!
Taylan Okay yeaah! hahahah
Thanks, bro!!
Jamie Slays Thanks for the video, bro! \m/
Up.
Can you do a follow up video on how to treat arthritis?
Militant me, I just randomly checked out your channel. You have some kick ass tunes dude 🤘
🤣 yeh!
Haha for real though
@@charliedell9607 thanks dude!
Can you do a video on mixing and drums 😂 the two things I suuuuuuuuuuuck suck suck at...
"Alternate picking is cheating" the most metal phrase iv heard lol
When I was a kid my guitar teacher never taught me to do upstrokes so I downpicked EVERYTHING... even scales...
Gavin Bruce I don’t know how to upstroke lol I down pick every not of every song and riff I play im trying to teach myself how to
@@turt1e016 just do a down pick in the other direction, don't overthink it, and just practice practice practice
@@robertwoods5168 Great explanation.
Downpickn't
@@turt1e016 just start slow uo and down up and down all the string all the scales slow and steady make sure you hitting the notes , you will get speed before you know it .
listen just because Hetfield has an arm of steel doesn’t mean I have to as well
Now think how fast they were going back in the 80's and he was singing too. Anyone who dares to undermine the man is automatically stupid.
In order to build fast twitch muscle fibers, you have to develop exercise in short bursts. Using alternate picking on random repetitions is a great way to do this while working to develop alternate picking technique capable of cloning the downpick sound. When you master this, then you are Master!
Yeh totally. I will down pick as much as possible and then throw in a gallop go give my wrist a rest lol
@@JamieSlaysCreeping Death is definitely another add-on. Your videos destroy everytime! The creativity is intriguing. Ya know, Mozarts father had him compose music out of the best parts of well known pieces of the day. Interesting thought, I would call it an upscale medley. Here's a thought, look at bombastic outros. Malmsteen is great at that, haven't since noticed what metalcore bands and the like have bombastic outros yet. But the bands best at composing would put effort into song endings, a part often overlooked and inspired as a part of backchaining method learned, which means learning a songs ending first. Just a thought.
Brett Wodon yes it does...
You're telling me I'm not allowed to down pick Bleed?
Capabletsf LMAO
RIP to your fuckin forearms holy shit.
appropriate profile picture
Your profile pic fits perfectly on this comment XD
I feel like Blackened is good example of downpicking
There’s actually an upstroke in the main riff but it still counts lol
@@triad5766 obviously no human can down pick gallops.
that black dahlia murder riff was insanely fast!
my hand hurts just by watching this...and damn Ember to Inferno is a pain in the ass to play
was one of the first metal riffs I learned when I started electric guitar. My poor Fender Bullet Strat at the time did not know what hit it.
Personally i find it one of the easier ones to play on the list. But then again I play alot of metalcore type riffs. Don't get me started on the Black Dahlia riff though can't play it for the life of me
@@kontritum2861 and its no where near the hardest riff they have lol especially after ryan knight joined ahh how I missed his playing on nightbringers
Its a simple riff, just the speed is crazy af
Creeping Death - Hetfield the master of downpicking 🤘🏼
@Agnaye Ochani me too :)
Agnaye Ochani blackened kills my wrist
What about Spit Out The Bone?
@@cladvahd6155 there's no tough downpicking in that song?
Creeping death has such a great riff. It's one of the most fun riffs I know.
Next video: Bleed - Meshuggah downpicked
Your videos r getting so much better. They were already great but now have funny intros and really good editing. Keep it up bro
Are we just going to ignore how nuts the Eeyore riff is?
thats what i was gonna say. the sickest riff on this list
Sick man. Another awesome vid. Loved the slayer.. I need to get my guitar out the garage !!! Enough is enough.
I love all your videos. You play everything flawlessly. Subbed
I could play Master of Puppets decently well when I was a beginner with down picking. Then I spent like 2 years practicing alternate picking and actually got so used to it that I screwed up my ability to down pick. I can barely do it now...I'm worse at that riff than I was as beginner. It's really frustrating. Now I have to go back and retrain my hand/arm to be able to down pick fast.
Holy fuck I'm not the only one
@@realstraightedgepunk1191 haha....worst part is I was so proud of myself. I was like YEAH...I CAN PICK SO FAST! .....OH FUCK...I CAN'T DOWN PICK ANYMORE!!!
I have the same problem.
Bones12x2 hahaha same
Just think of a beat in your head and down pick only to the beat add some ups every now and again or set up a metronome at about 100 and down pick or whatever speed to your liking g
Nice man. Great video idea for those trying to understand not only the technical/physical difference of down picking, but the way that it alters the sound of the riff. I encourage everyone to experiment and compare how they would sound if they were alternate picked.
Loved the video as always man! You should do a video discussing your tattoos though! Would love to take a better look at them and what not
Hey Jamie I am glad you got the recognition you deserve, you deserve way more than 60k but its a good start! Also a suggestion is to play the riffs played with timestamps in the description, I am sure a lot of people would appreciate that. Keep it up!
About every song by the Misfits are downpicked because Doyle is a BEAST
Yep; as well as the Ramones. If you don't down pick songs, for either band, you should just stop.
It looks AND sounds proper. Great picking technique !!
Nailed every track !dopee!🔥
One of the best guitar pages on RUclips. Hell yea!
Loved this! I thought things were all down picked when I was a kid just starting out too haha.. could never work out how damage inc was doable with all downs!! Then I read in an interview with James that he does alt pick too.. all made sense then!!
Great playing man!
Great video of as always brother, but yeah no shit I'm still in that phase where I think everything should be down picked. Only thing is it's easier for me than alternate picking is so that's why I've stuck with it.
Love the tone!
Ember to inferno was one of the first riffs I learned and its still one of my favorites!
I've been watching your videos for quite a few months and never realized I was not subscribed. Well, here you go
It's not puppets if it's not downpicked
You ever think of doing a FAQ series of vids, I think it would help grow the channel dude!
I've been watching your videos for a long time and dude you are such an inspiration. Your playing is so damn clean and I hope to play like you one day dude! Rock the fuck on! 🤘
Dude that was absolutely sick, you like some wicked tunes, loving the Sylosis videos too! When’s the next album gonna drop eh?! \m/
I like to consider my downpicking as one of my highest level skills. It’s all thanks to trivium and me forgetting what the tempos were and doing them way too quick. But it was also Metallica and a bit of slipknot. But obviously it’s not perfect yet and I’ll still need to work on it through my career
Well done! I’d love to see :)
Same! I thought i was broken :D
Damn this was 2 years ago wtf
My right hand would die playing this stuff! Killer guitar playing
Honestly this guy deserves way more credit than he gets his videos are well produced and entertaining
Once again all killer no filler
Were can i get Trivium Tabs
Thanks for the great video 🤘
Very nice and quality video ... Good job
Solid playing man.
Awesome.
Great ear pick holders.
Awesome, greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for the vid Jamie. I was getting all OCD over the past weekend because I had a riff or two that I played and was mad at myself for struggling to alternate pick them.
Btw, one of them was Master of Puppets coincidentally.
Edit: After actually watching the vid (LOL for immediately commenting) I saw that 4 out of 7 of the riffs I have played throughout my guitar 'career' :D
great list, love it
Wow, even in alternate I can't play Waking the Demon, so all downpick ?
You're soooooo good dude, I'm impressed
Thanks bro!!
Just keep trying to alt pick it youll get it to sound close or at least i think i can get it to sound right without downpicking that riff
Such a nasty tone and killer execution, I love it!
it would be helpful if you could put the names of the bands and songs of the riffs you play in the description.
congrats on 60k!
Dude you are legit my favorite channel. And your hair is sick too
Thanks mate! 🙇🏼♂️
Sweet down picking Jamie you get a big thumbs up buddy 👍👍
Your technique is SO tight dude, incredible
Oh yeah, this is full pure Metal! Love it. 🤘 😎 🤘 😉 👍 👋 🙂 🇻🇪 Thanks you for sharing this.
Awesome dude (: yeah that dahlia one looked rough. You did well but i could tell that was a total struggle bus
Dude your hair is magnificent af! And ye the video was cool too
Excelent Riff your a Master !!
So sick my man!
Good video. The only one I can think to add after that is Motley Crue’s Livewire
Love playing ember to inferno, for some reason (I really don’t know why) but the bridge riff in Like light to flies by Trivium, that riff always burns my forearm haha! It’s a strange one because I don’t really get that problem much anymore!
Those Bareknuckles are amazing!
Interesting, I always play Waking the Demon alt picking, time to step up my game it do it all downpicking!
I used to also until other people told me it was wrong!
Where are the Monuments riffs... John Browne is one of the best down pickers...
Black dahlia was insane. 👍🙌🤘So fast. Well done.
since i started guitar, i always tend to use downpick instead of alternate- or economy-picking... it was kinda funny to see how my friends couldn't keep up when we started jamming like light to the flies by trivium back in the days ^^
I forsure thought id see SOAD aerials on there but still a badass set
Man downpicking has always been my weakness. I'm really more of a galloping guy, but there's something about that sledgehammer force and tight sound from downpicking that makes me practice and practice.
I down-pick on guitar hero! What you gonna do about it?
that last bar of the 11th hour riff is a killer. fucks with my mind.
Great riffs🤘. As much as I like the latest Bullet for my Valentine album, their older stuff is much better
Gotta subscribe
awesome!!!
Half of open your eyes and look north by dance Gavin dance. It’s so hard to alternate or tremolo slowly and make it sound clean
Love your Gengar!
Even more than down-picking - I used to think all these single string riffs were power chords and practically shredded my hand off trying to play them that way.
I hate hate hate to admit when other guitarists are awesome, but Jamie your technique is excellent. Plus I started liking your vids when I was hears that Slipknot's Left Behind was a song that les you to wanting to play guitar. Lots of similarities as they were what drove me to playing. Keep it up bro!
Awww thanks bro 🙇🏼♂️
Why would you have to admit other guitarist are awesome. There are a lot of good players out there
@@300WINMAG360 You completely over analyzed the above comment. It was nothing more than a harmless joke. Maybe I should have used an emoticon to wink at you? The comment was positive and directed to Jamie, but I certainly appreciate your input sir and/or ma'am.
Looking at your sleeves makes me want to finish mine...
Very impressive, but can you do the same thing with uppicking?
You can't get the same attack when you alternate pick right ?! Damn right down picking is awesome! Nice tone btw! I think Trivium - Like Light to the Flies would be a good one to include as well
I'm back! Bring on the awesome!🔥🔥🤘
Good job including Waking the Demon. I have bad wrists and that riff is a bitch to pick no matter what technique you use.
TBDM slayer and tritium i don't agree they there intended to be solely downpicked, except maybe the chugs. the trivium riff would of been much easier to alternate, I believe that was how they wrote that. but still great choices. master was my favorite cause I too found the best way to pick was by down stroke. great playing none- the- less
This kinda makes me curious how some of these riffs (and others) sound with alternate/up&down picking instead only down picking.
Songs I down pick are Amon Amarth guardians of Asgard 30 seconds to mars closer to the edge and zombie by Cranberries
Can you please to top ten brutal breakdowns from The Devil Wears Prada? I watch every video hoping to see you shred one of their songs.
Please do a mastodon video?
I'm glad Waking the Demon was on this list. Most times I see it covered it is played using alternate picking but watch any video of them playing it and you can see them play downstrokes.
Wooooow man.... You're fucking amazing!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Jesus your tone is fckn amazing !!!!
Dude you are my idol other than Buckethead of course...lol I love that you have a super Saiyan God Vegeta on your desk!!! I'm jealous of all your guitars my dream is to have a green Ibanez of my own. Thanks for being you. You make me play guitar Everytime I watch. Thanks.
Arron Hartley thanks bro!!
@@JamieSlays thanks for just acknowleding my existence. Super jealous of your gear keep slaying bro
😊 start saving haha
@@JamieSlays I am working two jobs hopefully I will have a sick green Ibanez of my own one day
Really impressive
Hey bro, asked a few times and I don't think you've answered - what pickups did you put in the RGAIX6? I've recently put the Nazgul/Sentient in my RGAIX7, big upgrade, but I'd love to get closer to your tone..
What string guages would you use for a Drop B track like Eeyore?
Great sound! what usb interface do you use? I have a line pod gx for many years.. or is it worth buying a different one? I'm not happy with the sound it makes
I use a focusrite2i2 😊
What is that green piece for in your Guitar?
Saw it several times before..
Hey, joe long have you been playing guitar because when it comes to Angel of Death, I make mistakes sometimes but I’ve known how to play the song for 5+ years minus the solo.
What is that little orange thing in the left bottom corner you have ?
does downpicking also destroy your lower back aswell as arm?
What's the green strap for on the Ibanez?
Biiien. Saludos desde ecuador 👏
Awesome
Now it makes sense. You have a digitech drop pedal in your rig as well.
I only just got that! I’ll be using it soon
Hi Jamie! I have a question, What pedals did you use to make this video? thx!
you have that dank whammy pedal that kmac used in his video too
