The majority of non-metal fans really have no idea how difficult it is to play extreme metal, especially Black Metal. To the untrained ear, it sounds like "noise". But I always tell people who hear extreme metal for the first time to listen at a medium-low volume, close their eyes and really concentrate because when they do, they can hear everything clearly and separately. Rhythm guitar, lead guitar, bass, keyboards (if equipped), and of course, drums. There is a level of genius behind creating extreme metal and these musicians don't get the respect that they deserve.
Very helpful, very clear. To the point. Practical help to begin playing. No messy bedroom in the back round, dogs barking, phones ringing, time wasting back story, poorly aimed camera. Thank you.
That's good. Chattering conversation that isn't related directly to the lesson, but to the teacher's experiences. i.e., "I started using these picks in 1994 when I was big into Darkthrone, but in 2000 I was in the front row at an Immortal concert and Abbath threw his pick right at me. I took that home and tried it on my Les Paul Standard, the one I got in 1998, that was stolen............ :P
It's also because most of the first wave Norwegian bands couldn't afford proper recording gear/studio time, the bands after that just seemed to carry on with that sound. I'm not super into Black Metal but it's pretty interesting, I've always been more into Death Metal and it's dry, distorted, and disgusting approach to extreme metal.
About a year ago, when I started by black metal project, this was one of the most inspirational and useful videos I watched. I still come back to it regularly. If it wasn't for you, Simon Smith, I might not even be doing black metal. Thank You! \m/
I also now have a full album out, if you're still interested. Released it just 3 days ago. P.S. Couldn't have done it without Simon's advice, you are like a god to me, mr Smith!
I watch this video regularly too but unlike you, I couldnt't finish my project :D Just listened to your album btw. I'ts really good, it sets a pretty good winter atmosphere. Nicely done!
I've came back to this lesson several times, and continue to find it valuable. You are one of two guitar teachers on youtube that actually understand the musical theory and essence of black metal composition. Everyone else gets it wrong; just taking the most superficial window dressing (single string tremolo picked melody lines ) of dimmu borgir style black metal. the way you explain strumming across barr chords and different chord voicings was extremely valuable to me.
This is the mostly genuinely helpful, information-dense 9 minutes I could imagine. As someone who's just started incorporating black metal elements into my dark ambient project I feel like this gave me an enormous head start. Thank you!
I'm not actually into metal, but I do admire the guitarists in metal, so I wanted to know what is it that makes guitars in metal music sound so epic, Ik it's more than just some techniques, but this is just a small part of my research, so wish me luck metalheads xD
I am ashamed to admit I do not follow as many online teachers as I should, but my friend you have most certainly just taught me a thing or two and inspired me big time. Thanks a lot !
Funny how the licks at around 6:30 remind me of Slint, could be why I liked Spiderland so much, their early math rock had a lot of black metal elements to it
+Mind Spray I don't know if you could call dissonance an element exclusive to black metal. Dissonance existed so long before Slint, first signs of it in the Romantic era, and even in Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath in their first album. And how in the world is Slint math rock? They were early pioneers of post rock.
+Reynold Adamson They're considered pioneers of both of those genres. They used a significant amount of odd time signatures, which in essence is the only thing that defines math rock (at least objectively).
Wayde McDonnell Are you saying odd time signatures in rock music was never used before Slint? Have you forgotten prog rock throughout the 70s and 80s? Pink Floyd? Kansas? The Moody Blues?
Reynold Adamson No, I guess the difference is the"angular" feeling to the music in combination with the odd time signatures. I don't know, although Slint certainly inspired a lot of bands, there really isn't anyone who has sounded like them since.
Wayde McDonnell I get what you mean, Slint really is one of a kind. There's no question that they inspired countless alternative bands. However, elements such as odd time signatures, dissonance, and dynamics are not new. What Slint did was use these elements in a way that the music world had never seen before.
I learn a lot from Sir Simon Smith about black metal guitar technique and I still practice until today 65% on my guitars rhythm I use 2:28 Tremolo Picking Over 2 Strings. Easy explained tutorial with many examples. Thank you Simon Smith you is my guitar teacher !
I d like to point out ,the Marduk riff. The alternate picking is "Inside" the strings between the A and D strings .This requires slight motion mechanics ,of a downward angle and an upward angle . Down slant for Down picking and ,an Upward Slant for up picking .Like a Violin Bow . Troy Grady has a lot posted on this type of thing ,analyzing all the greatest pickers of all time ,and showing how they all use these "Motion Mechanics" If you are a Drummer ,there are even more motion mechanics involved . You are using every limb of your body
Thank you so much for making this video. I'm not sure how many times a day you are told this, but you changed my view on guitar and, aided by your instruction in this particular video, I have quickly become adept at speed picking. By practicing trem picking as you described and by watching you play, I've become significantly more skilled in playing faster varieties of metal. I don't know what it is about this video, but the instructions stuck to me unlike any other teachers' on RUclips; better than Chris Zoupa, Mike Gross, all of the big names. Thank you so much man, I'm not kidding, you are the fucking best.
Listening to Leviathan makes you wonder how something can sound so terrifying. A lot of black metal I don't find that terrifying but Varg Vikernes, Jef Whitehead, Damian Igielski and Richard Lederer's tone and techniques are a few examples of Guitar that will haunt you and also creative.
As you hold the mediator, you do not play without a cake, with an unnamed finger, do the emphasis under the sensor and then you will play the tremolo smoothly
I looked into them and from reviews they are pretty good. Do you think its possible if I can do 1 pickup with the Nazgul and the other the black winter pickup? Don't know much about pickups unfortunately.
Sikspak Haha neither do I friend. Theoretically I think it would. I would guess you should look into the tech behind pickups and learn if that. Tell me if you find anything. From my perspective, maybe you can put one on the bridge and the other on the neck and select on on the other?
Beautiful indeed! I only know how to listen to music, and it´s funny how each of these examples bring many songs in mind, and it´s like: "That sounds exactly like, what was it...?" Brain gymnastics!
Thank you for all these man, I'm trying to teach myself the black metal style as I love it's sound + tone. I find it kind of tricky lol. But I've been coming here to your vids for help in learning it more and more....Please keep more of these kind of videos coming, peace man. ✌️
First time it didn’t appeal to me but when I listened to Osiris i slowly liked it and trying to learn Black metal, I have a way higher liking and understanding of it
I always thought tremolo picking in black metal was about making the attacks blur together, so it just sounds like a continuous sustain. You know a lot more about this than I do, that's just an observation. It's also possible what I hear is a product of all of the reverb used on many black metal releases.
I resumed practicing after several years of not playing. What I like about Black Metal is it's REALLY noob friendly! You can write epic evil sounding riffs with some tremolo picked power chords and minor chords and then some chugged power chords and you'd end up using maybe 2 or 3 easy finger positions in total across a whole song and it'd still sound trve kvlt. Especially if you're playing on your shitty first electric guitar from several years ago that has a noisy humbucker on the bridge and use literally ANY high gain amp sim on your laptop or ANY heavily distorted practice amp.
And when you play bass root notes on a really heavy midi synth (one that sounds like the intro to Clockwork Orange) underneath the chords, lower the amp gain a bit and increase the guitar production quality, and then replace the vocals with crystal clean singing that's got a lot of resonance and add reverb on the voice, you just created Gothic Metal out of Black Metal. The lyrics don't even need to change.
That was a very comprehensive guide to Black Metal. I am quite proud to say that there was no new information in there, I figured out all of it on my own by now but now I now what these are called and am glad it is a thing.
Great lesson! Does anybody else here know any songs or bands that use the two string tremolo picking technique? I think it's a very ambient sounding, and just suits my style.
+conor mcguire Many BM bands use this style, but not on each of their tracks. Try early albums of Burzum, Gorgoroth, Satyricon, or german band Zorn. Especially Burzum to me has that dark, eerie ambient sound. Have fun.
thanks, I've been playing guitar for a lil' over two years now... levels of "on and off" and well, just laziness really lol I never really learn songs "all the way" , I just pick parts and sections that give me goosebumps and make me want to BURN EVERYTHING DOWN TO THE FUCKING GROUND lol, but I'm starting to dive more into learning and doing things outside my comfort zone , all in all, this video was very informative for someone like me who's more of a visual learner as opposed to alot of the "guitar speak" that just tends to go over my head lol, thanks \m/
Interesting how that picking 4:48 can help one play, I have noticed a figure 8 pattern when I play Holy Wars by Megadeth, it's funny how I can seem to keep a better rhythm doing that except just up and down. And I do it subconsciously, hence 'noticed'.
What exactly was the technique developed by Snorre and Euronymous that is the trademark of norwegian black metal? In a interview with fenriz the description he gave seems like it is the tremolo picking over minor chords. Is that right?
Black Metal Techniques
0:11 Tremolo Picking
1:01 Triplet Picking
2:28 Tremelo Picking Over 2 Strings
3:42 Tremlo Picked Chords
5:20 Diminished 5th/Perfect 5th/Augmented 5th
6:54 1 4 1 Power Chord (Inverted 5th)
7:49 Minor Chords With Open Strings
Hey Bro nice and Gothic Metal? And Symphonic metal?
Thank you
TREMOLO picking not tremelo roflmao
What type of tuning is used for black metal
Joseph Duffy most of the bands use E standard
The majority of non-metal fans really have no idea how difficult it is to play extreme metal, especially Black Metal. To the untrained ear, it sounds like "noise". But I always tell people who hear extreme metal for the first time to listen at a medium-low volume, close their eyes and really concentrate because when they do, they can hear everything clearly and separately.

Agreed. But play three chords on an acoustic, and sing about love and everyone thinks you're a genius
There’s an art to it. Truly evil.
@@SimonSmithGuitar *cough*edsheeran *cough*
Black Metal is rather easy tbh, jazz is easily the hardest
@@landronics definitely agree about jazz, talk about crazy time signatures!
Very helpful, very clear. To the point. Practical help to begin playing. No messy bedroom in the back round, dogs barking, phones ringing, time wasting back story, poorly aimed camera. Thank you.
backstories? wtf? I've yet to see that
That's good.

@@blackmetalgran7279 Yo that straight up sucks
^ this guy knows his stuff!
Wha? ...ain't you dead?
My God, black metal is beautiful. It's like pure, atmospheric emotion.
+FRATER NERON My favourite sort of metal by far
I just wish they used better recording equipment
Michael Borg That's the point. The rawness of the recording, aesthetics, and vocals work to contrast the beauty of the music.
It's also because most of the first wave Norwegian bands couldn't afford proper recording gear/studio time, the bands after that just seemed to carry on with that sound. I'm not super into Black Metal but it's pretty interesting, I've always been more into Death Metal and it's dry, distorted, and disgusting approach to extreme metal.
I think you mean "my Satan" :p
Black metal is the most beautiful music ever.
Yep
Yup! I agree
It's strange how ugly and beautiful it is at the same time. It's just pure, unadulterated emotion and atmosphere.
@dazzerstar Oh thanks.\m/
Why? All these harmonies are used in various otter types of music.
About a year ago, when I started by black metal project, this was one of the most inspirational and useful videos I watched. I still come back to it regularly. If it wasn't for you, Simon Smith, I might not even be doing black metal. Thank You! \m/
Dreadrealm IM INTERESTED!!! are you on Bandcamp?
Indeed I have two songs on bandcamp and three songs here on my YT channel. Thanks for your interest!
I also now have a full album out, if you're still interested. Released it just 3 days ago.
P.S. Couldn't have done it without Simon's advice, you are like a god to me, mr Smith!
Too
I watch this video regularly too but unlike you, I couldnt't finish my project :D
Just listened to your album btw. I'ts really good, it sets a pretty good winter atmosphere. Nicely done!

@@paliccolo Dev Gohil is awesome too.
This really made me thirsty for some blast beats and screaming vocals.

Renée Lucero :3 give metal a chance and you will love it. It really grows on you man. Good luck!
Technique. Minor keys. Harmony. Tone. Power. Feeling.
True dat, I've heard the minor key thing a lot, makes sense since it gives a much darker sound to songs.
xD I'll try, maybe just black metal tho
How's the research, mate?
Hail Simon Smith

+Simon Smith ??
He's just playing the exercise, not any particular song

Triplet picking while changing strings has been fucking with me for years
Try this ruclips.net/video/IYJ3ApB0_cY/видео.html
3:54 Tremolo picking of chords in this way is something I never even thought of trying... sounds incredible!
Thank you for that view it just opened up a new world of stuff to practice, i never thought about to play some of those ways
Does Santanism count as a technique?
If you can prove how to use it
Yes
ho ho ho yes
This is what i call a FUCKING HEAVY guitar sound, not a lot of gain but heavy as fuck, i would Kill for this sound
calm down dude wtf
BEST RUclips COMMENTER OK DUDE I'M COOL
BEST RUclips COMMENTER filithy casual. black metal is for the warriors.
Daniel Souza varg did
Ullr the glorious one HOW DID I GET THIS TONE? LETS FIND OUT! (pulls out knife)
Very good. Thank you. Would look forward to more of these with some Leviathan and Krohm examples.
BLACK METAL IS ACTUALLY MORE EMOTIONAL THAN SAD PIANO MUSIC
Listening to Leviathan makes you wonder how something can sound so terrifying. A lot of black metal I don't find that terrifying but Varg Vikernes, Jef Whitehead, Damian Igielski and Richard Lederer's tone and techniques are a few examples of Guitar that will haunt you and also creative.
Stumbled across your videos today and man these are great. I feel confident to try this stuff out and compose some grim tunes of my own.
This channel is the best for learning all, good job!!
Your lessons, perhaps the best of all here.Before guitar I could play except in hockey. Now for me it's a musical instrument thanks to you
Юрий Гари That's awesome! :-)
Wow cool man this is helpful for a newbie like me. The melodies here are moving..I need to dig into black metal a bit more ..
+rangerram1 Black metal is the best
+Simon Smith Thrash Metal and other Styles of Metal is good to.
+Ginters Petrovs but black metal is the best one
Badass, I'm learning to play metal during this winter. Great video!
Such beautifulness on those riffs!!
As you hold the mediator, you do not play without a cake, with an unnamed finger, do the emphasis under the sensor and then you will play the tremolo smoothly
The only tutorial you need to get into bm! Thanks a lot!
Best guitar chanel on youtube , your tutorials are the best
you make playing guitar look easy. wonderful guide, hoping to buy a guitar and try it out
Of course you forget the #1 thing to black metal guitar technique. Its having those black winter pickups for the true black metal experience!
Sikspak Nazgul are nice aswell
I looked into them and from reviews they are pretty good. Do you think its possible if I can do 1 pickup with the Nazgul and the other the black winter pickup? Don't know much about pickups unfortunately.

I cheered when you demonstrated Emperor. Didn't realise so much was going on in that one riff!
Kodanshi Helcarver Ihsahn way of picking is always interesting to see, it's very unique style.
That dark throne riff is wild
it's funny how black metal is basically distorted surf rock
Lol!!
batboy no. just no
Momoko ye it kind of is try playing some of this stuff without distortion it does sound like surf rock
Grega Križnar he was talking about black metal, not black metal guitar. add the drums and vocals to it and its nowhere close to surf rock
Momoko i tought he was talking about the guitar cuz afterall... this is a guitar video
*Sorry for my grammar
Simon, your playing is awesome. Thanks for the lesson.
Beautifully, hauntingly simple. And it works. Works better than atonality, chugging and other extremes of death metal.
Thank you Simon, you are helping me A LOT!

Simon, you and Gemini guitar have the best guitar tech/lessons on youtube , Doom on
Thanks buddy!!
lovely guitar Simon
Thanks
First time it didn’t appeal to me but when I listened to Osiris i slowly liked it and trying to learn Black metal, I have a way higher liking and understanding of it
Really good video, very helpful and informative. Gonna write a black metal album now!
I always thought tremolo picking in black metal was about making the attacks blur together, so it just sounds like a continuous sustain. You know a lot more about this than I do, that's just an observation. It's also possible what I hear is a product of all of the reverb used on many black metal releases.
nice tutorial, i think so far its some layer of guitar if they blast picking, but its just blast picking with 2 snares .
Can you make some agalloch
brilliantly made video, thank you so much for sharing!
Hey Simon, would you be willing to do a lesson for One By One from Immortal?

Example BM songs for tremolo picking: ...All of them
Good enough for mentioning some cool black metal tunes and few hcaracteristic basic though, guitar elements regards to black metal.

shoegaze black metal
+conor mcguire try blut aus nord, especially memoria vetusta II, they use 2-3 string tremolo constantly
Thank you! :) I'll be sure to check them out, they're awesome from what I've heard of them so far!
Im not too much of a BM fan, but shit like Nargaroth is great. Not exactly DSBM but still kind of post-rock like.
were all these songs played on standard tuning ?
