    All the metal techniques we learned as teenagers we take for granted. It's really interesting to see things from another perspective.
    Funnily enough, I've gotten into slow and melodic lead playing recently and it's surprisingly hard. The amount of accuracy and care that goes into getting the perfect phrasing takes a lot of work.

      This is so true, and I don't think I've ever thought about it. I'm in my mid 40s so when I was a teenager trying to learn to play guitar, I had the guitar tab books for the Black Album, Nevermind, and Dookie. The foundation of my rhythm playing totally comes from those albums and whatever 5 tabs the guitar world magazine was publishing that month. I have so many gaps in my knowledge that I should probably look into getting a guitar teacher.

      Right?! Some of the things Lee was mentioning I was literally sitting here thinking, "What? You've been playing for how long and this is foreign to you?" I grew up on classic rock and metal, and a lot of these techniques are what I cut my teeth on. It's crazy.

I feel like and I see from some of my friends that take lessons from the very beginning they don’t create their own style. I feel like once you have your own style down somewhat then that’s when it’s a good time to take lessons and improve on your technique and so on. Just my opinion.

    There was an Andertons episode years ago where Rob and Lee were checking out some Metallica signature guitars. Rob was ripping away, and Lee was struggling to make his guitar sound as metal as Rob's playing. Rob explained that "you have to have hatred for your mother!" when you pick, Lee's like "What?!" and Rob proceeds to play "Am I Evil" with that kind of aggression. Lee was sort of starting to get it then, but is much closer to fully understanding the type of expression you need for metal picking in this video. Go Lee!

      @hairychris444 Год назад

      ​@ghost mall You've already got the 'angry' part down if you're playing Nirvana, and that really is a large part of getting the sound. Otherwise your stereotypical metal rhythm is simpler chordally, but on the other hand there's more speed & precision with the picking hand. What also makes a difference is the equipment - humbuckers with volume maxed into a gainy amp gives a huge amount of compression that's part of that whole sound.
      And good luck! :D Back in around 93 or 94 I sat down & worked out Teen Spirit but there was no way I could play it properly even if though I had the notes down. The whole approach was just alien to me as a thrasher. I could probably do better now but I'd still suck, haha!

    • @preston2636
      @preston2636 Год назад +1

      You don't need to pick hard for metal music at all. Just use a sharper pick. You get pick attack from having a sharper pick which in turn allows you to hit the strings with more efficiency. Palm muting is what really makes a difference.

    @kevinmorris7722 Год назад +4

    Palm mute is the trick. And when you let them ring, it's a release timed just as the pick attack. The strings are not free to attack. Only sustain. Then stopped right on the count.
    Lee will get it.

    I think the riffs from the song 'Shortest Straw' will teach a new player a lot, its really a great riff to learn on. Not too fast, has some alternate. Well, pretty much any riff off And Justice For All will get your cab moving a heap of air and your windows rattling. Also pick angle helps glide over the string and get that paper ripping pick attack sound at the beginning of the chug. On Mesa amps it kinda gives this chimey mid frequency overtone.

    Well done. I'm a still learning player that struggles from genre paralysis. I truly grew up listening to everything from Chuck Berry to Pantera, TSO to Trivium, and love and am inspired by guitarist from Prince and Carlos Santana to Randy Rhodes Calum Graham. I love every style and want to play all of them. I can't seem to force myself to pick a genre and to stay in that lane. I'll go from playing Crazy train to Tennessee whiskey. Then I'll shift from Cancion del Mariachi to Texas Flood. If a guitar plays it, I love it and want to play it. But, that means I still struggle with obtaining a specific genre sound when playing.

    • @wavewithus4081
      @wavewithus4081 Год назад +1

      I think most of your unique 'sound' is created through improvisation and learning your own licks (or songs), having certain note choices and rhythm approaches. If you keep playing existing songs you will not likely develop a 'sound', you'll just get good at listening and playing along with songs.
      Nothing wrong with genre paralysis as far as it comes to listening to music, I find it tends to come in waves and you'll likely be listening and playing along to different stuff in a bit.
      Also your variety in inspiration or music taste might have given you a fine ear for melody and musical vocabulary. Maybe try picking like 3 'genres' or styles or concepts and try to build some songs or riffs in those styles to force yourself to learn writing in a specific sound, while still allowing yourself multiple styles to add to. Pretend you're making a classic guitar virtuoso ep, a modern metal ep and a poppy ep thing and write stuff in that headspace and identify overlapping themes or melodies that define your sound across those styles and projects.
      But hey, making a lot of different music is cool too. I make and upload prog metal, hiphop beats, dutch pop songs, lil guitar improv snippets... just making music in whatever shape of form is a wonderful thing imo

    Huge fan of the channel. Best advice for learning palm muting is to figure the least amount of pressure you can use to get a full palm mute. Then you know where your partial mute pressure is. Practice full mute, partial mute, open, and back, then practice changing them up in riffs.
    Also, I can't see the captain's pick, but based on his struggle with alternate picking on the gallop section, I would imagine he needs to evaluate his pick slanting technique.

  • @riffsnreviews
    @riffsnreviews Год назад +2

    Something that wasn't mentioned, is selecting the right pick for your playing style, coz that does change a lot, down to what the pick is made of, the shape, the tickness. Took me a long time to find my pick, settled on the dunlop ultex triangle 1.14 "bass" pick. Had a lot of friends who only used big stubbys, so naturally I got into using them as well, then abandoned them and my playing did get better, just wasn't a pick for me.

    Lee, not sure if you peruse the comments, but as someone who’s been playing these techniques for 18 years, I want to tell you that you did amazing! Note, you may not have chained techniques together in this video, but what you showed is the ability to learn and play some essential metal techniques on their own in bursts. That’s great news! Because if you just play those bursts over and over again each time focusing on your technique as opposed to trying to play the entire riff at once, your muscle memory will eventually take over on the bursts, and before you know it, you will naturally be chaining the riffs together 😁 then you will experience metal riff wrist fatigue. And over time as you keep practising the “chained together” riffs, your stamina and strength will build and the fatigue will become less and less of a problem. Muscle memory is a beautiful thing my friend, and you clearly have enough guitar player muscle memory to learn and play metal riffs. Proud of how you did in this video! 👏

    Maybe Lee has a new found respect for the metal genre now. Palm-muting was the very first thing I learned when I picked up a guitar many years ago. I couldn't play a single chord, but I could palm-mute!

    Nice! It's good of Lee to put himself out there and be a beginner in a different genre of guitar playing. Some good tips. I do find that like anything else, it's really a kind of muscle memory and feel as much as technique, to get develop metal playing. There's a certain percussiveness and exactness to the attack in metal playing that needs to be second nature, and with any genre, I find you really have to be into metal and listen to it to true be able to play it, cause there are nuances to the different styles of metal which you have to be able to hear and understand before you can replicate it... If you know what you're going for, that's half the battle, and all you need to do is try to replicate it. If you don't really listen to metal, it'll be much harder to get solid metal chops down.

    It's funny, when I was a kid I wanted to play drums, but I couldn't because my parents didn't want a drum kit in the house. My dad bought me a guitar, and wanted me to learn his favorite songs which were all classic country and classic rock. But I think it's the "drummer" inside of me that drew me to metal, because rhythm guitarists in metal are very much like drummers imo. It came natural to me to use both hands to evoke lots of cool rhythmic capabilities that we all know and love from metal. On the contrary, playing emotive solos and harmonies never comes natural to me and I need to use a lot of brain power to write even simple passages in solos or even just pluckin' around the guitar in a more bluesy fashion. But if I want to isolate 16th notes on any string with an open sound while hammering palm muted madness through variations of straight, triplet or quintuplet rhythms then I'm pretty confident :P

    I’ve always played like Jamie, I always assumed it was like a percussion style, I struggle with lees bluesy style. As the years have gone on my playing has become way more melodic so maybe the blues will become more prominent lol
