      Simple? Do you even know the precision necessary to nail those notes and pinch harmonics with a whammy bar consistantly?
      And they even play it perfectly together.
      Dimebag was great in his time, but avatar brings some next level music.

    I love this band. It feels like when In Flames dropped the title of masters of melodic-death, these guys came along and picked it up effortlessly, and they even added a lot of elements of groove metal. I'm guessing they are fans of Pantera?

    I’ve been playing guitar 30 years. I gotta say, this looks like one of the most fun songs you could possibly play. Also looks nearly impossible to pull off. But if you can get in that groove I can’t imagine this not being infinitely satisfying to play.

    I'm so glad you guys did this. I've been learning guitar for about 8 months and have three guitars so far. The last one I bought I tuned to B so I could learn at the gates and carcass tunes. Thankfully, it also has a floating trem and also thankfully I've just discovered your awesome music. I had to go out to the music store as soon as I heard it, I never do that! I'm adding you guys to my list of inspirational guitar players and musicians. Cheers from Texas! Thanks for the lesson.

    • @gamer263

      I would consider getting a guitar with a Floyd Rose bridge. Normal tremelo systems usually get knocked out of tune after a few dive bombs.

    • @undead797
      @undead797 9 лет назад

      Thanks, I think it is an original floyd rose with fine tuners, it's not locked so i assumed it's floating idk...lol. I have a kramer guitar, I thought floyd rose was originally made for kramer anyway.
