I'm almost at the 4 year mark. Gojira was my gateway to playing heavy riffs as early as possible. My advice is to learn what you gravitate towards, there's no set path to follow. If you wan't to buy a seven string guitar as your first guitar, then go for it. Just think of how they did it back in the olden days of just figuring shit out as they went. If you give it time you'll do it too.
Bro when I started playing ironically the first song I learned was an early metal song. War pigs 😎 black Sabbath is a really good band to start out with learning some of their songs. All I needed to do was learn how to read tabs and went on my own path. Awesome video dude!
I am around my 5 year mark now playing guitar and one of the best tips I can give is to learn techniques that go a long way with many metal songs. Like power chords, down /alternate picking. Also not so much a guitar playing tip, but more of psychological standpoint. A lot of people say to buy a guitar that is relatively cheap, for me buying a guitar that attracts is more important. It helps picking up the guitar to actually do something with it. Have the guitar in your sight. Keep it fun, play parts of songs / soundtracks that you like. Being able to play at least a riff or two motivates to keep on going. Lastly, remember we all have different paces in which we grow / can practice, so be patient and kind to yourself. After 5 years, I am by far a guitar god. But I love to practice every day and have seen significant grow. (I'm also self taught with videos from youtube.)
I'm a beginner and I'm actually just getting my first electric guitar today. It's not what you think of when suggested metal guitars but it's a telecaster with dual humbuckers and I know Telacasters are versatile so why not. But thank you for these tips and for the apps you suggested.
"As little gain as you can get away with!" I heard Jim Root say that about his tone in a rig rundown about 12 years ago and been listening to it ever since. Same with the no gain overdrive trick :D great info for a beginner! there is a gap in the learning market for this content! Awesome rundown dude :D
Fire perspective🙌🏾 I started about 7 months ago. I found insane love for blues wanting to learn metal and heavy rock. I surely hope that I can get past this noodling phase I’m in.🤦🏾♂️
Back in the day, 80s kid, we learned by ear. Pulling ideas off record. There was no internet. We'd hang out in friends' garages and jam and learn from each other. You met people that way. It was a much better time.
My tuning is a cheat code. (G)CGCGCC (7 string and 6 string both stay here) Everything is a big open chord. Every scale is two patterns (all the G strings are the same frets, and obviously the C strings as well), and the top two strings being harmonized makes dissonant chords only one fret apart. Wanna "chug chug screee" like Norma Jean? There you go. I don't entirely disagree with scooping the mids. That's been the standard from 80's metal through metalcore, which you stated are you influences so that makes sense. There's been a trend in newer metal bands (I dont mean numetal) where they drop the distortion even more and actually bump mids. I think this is bc extended ranges are getting more common, and that thick "bong" string tone is pretty aggressive (check out New Faces In The Dark by Loathe or anything by Vildhjarta).
Ooo, interesting. So this would be like a Modal C tuning with the highest string dropped. I would love to see a video of you explaining this tuning. I just got mine set up so they will never sound good experimenting with this without another setup, but you’ve definitely got me interested. I just saw Norma Jean live last week 🤘
It's funny that your first example at 4:35 is Unholy Confessions as someone 1 year into playing guitar...that's one of the riffs I'm trying to get down with the intermittent palm muting going on lol. But you bring up a good point with pedals...I don't have one yet...so you know what, I'll get one of those. Great video man all your points clicked with me.
i feel like, if you have decided to learn guitar, pick your acoustic up, and master the basics, for a good foundation. why acoustic? it improves your finger strength. And what type of music you listen to is important, cause once the basics are clear, you can play songs from your fav bands, and start making riffs, plus your compositions are heavily influenced by the type of music you listen to. and fronm there you can go on to learning morenthan basics like legatos, bends, tapping and shredding. this is what i did, with the help of a very good teacher.
When I started guitar I was stuck in the 1950s if I became a metalhead earlier and started guitar earlier I would be somewhat decent at guitar and not dog water at guitar and I started on acoustic
Great video! My one piece of advice is to keep your guitar on a stand or hanger in the room you spend more time in! If you put it in a case in the closet you won’t play it. Bonus tip: play at least 15 mins a day, do an exercise or noodle. 15 mins a day is better than hours cramming! 😊
The first metal song I learned was raining blood by slayer. Probably not the best song to learn in my first year of playing but I eventually got to a point where I was comfortable playing most of it after a few months
2:58 I just got back from Avala Beach on a short weekend trip with the in-laws. I took my PRS, A pair of HD280’s and my Line6 Pod Express. Didn’t need anything else.
For whom the bell tolls was my first song. Go into it knowing it wont sound good. Just have fun and keep at it and you'll be making fun of Kirk Hammett like the rest of us!
Good ole rocksmith. I play that shit daily. Especially on PC, with customforge, giving you access to all kinds of custom DLCs.I'm still ass lol but I'm having tons of fun, and can remember some riffs off the top of my head. Rocksmith is amazing at teaching you basic techniques and timing, while also having fun. I treat it more like guitar hero than a learning tool at this point. Songsterr is fantastic too, I learn alotta my riffs from there. Just sittin down for an hour, banging em out til I can play em without lookin at the tabs.
as 23s yo who got into punk and metal guitar (yeah i skipped acoustic lol) thanks for this vids haha, currently i hang up with my jazzy guitarist friends and look like yeah we're different lol
I just bought a fire like it's satin black and red looks good and I think it's good to learn how to work on things like when you want better tuners learn how to change them, when you want spicier pickups/nicer pots learn how to put them in. I did it kind of backwards my kids are into guitar so I learned how to work on them/ build one before I started playing but I enjoy building things
I'm 42, just started to learn guitar, learning blues riffs and licks, trying to play the intro of "The Thrill is Gone", studying "Music Theory for Dummies, learning chords (bouncing, switching). It's exciting, but I'll need to be patient with myself. I'm a bit frustrated with my small hand and my short pinkie, but others have done well.
You're right. I was taught a few cowboy cords back in the day and power cords. I can still play Rock You Like A Hurricane, no matter how long it's been since I have played.. Learn a couple of songs you love, no matter the genre, and it will lead to a lot more.🤘
Up picking or down picking a single note does not change the tone of said note. Up picking or down picking a chord makes a universe of difference. An open low E is an open low E Up stroked or down stroked. The closer to the bridge you pick more treble in your tone. The closer to the neck more bass in your tone. Using just Up strokes or just down strokes you are hitting the string in the same spot more consistently than alternate picking. Thus creating a "tighter" more chuggy sound. It's less if you are using an up stroke or down stroke it's the pick you use is it round or pointy. Pick thickness determines how light you can pick the strings and still get a heavy pick attack. And where you pick as I stated before close to the bridge more treble. Close to the neck more bass does more for your tone than the direction you pick unless it's a chord.
Appreciate the video. Been learning slowly dor a few years and probably started with too hard of music (Periphery) but its what i enjoy and want to play. It motivates me to play. Thanks for the tips and advice! Also have been debating songster premium. This might be the plug i needed to get it lol
I just picked up a guitar to do something while I'm figuring out vocals and I'm a death metalhead who likes more modern bands too. So I went with a 7 string immediately, cause I can just tune it and play 6 string songs, so I'm saving money and I also immediately jumped into harder songs. The intro of a song, Ive been working on for months now, is teaching me every single important technique out there. So if you're not interested to start out with easy songs, just try to find something doable from your favorite band. That feeling of being able to slowly get the hang of your favorite song (especially if it's difficult) is a million times better, than learning a bunch of tiny songs you dont fully care for. (for me thats any heavy/groove/thrash metal band lmao) Great video tho👍
If you like any nu metal songs at all I recommend learning thoes when starting out. Simply playing a bunch of linkin park got me from only using one finger for a song, to multiple fingers, and after learning one step closer I felt I had a lot of foundational skills for metal
I respect you just for the fact that you are a black person who isn't doing the whole cRAP thing! And thank you for the knowledge. I started out with acoustic. I love playing acoustic.
For me I practice for at least a hour every day, use a metronome, watch covers or lesson on whatever song if there is one and if you want to know what guitar to use for metal look up top guitars for metal in RUclips and go to your local guitar shop and feel them out which one you like best 🤘🔥🔥🤘
2:00 since we are talking metal, I would make the caveat that you should get something with humbuckers... a SSS strat would not be the ideal thing to learn metal on.
when i got my guitar from the pawn shop in 2017 everything changed man . i learned my first sonf ever the first day i had it and it was literally dazed and confused by zeppelin then i dabbled all thru soundgarden and never learned scales or anything i just studied how guitar players hold the guitar and etc and just copied it lol and yes when you have a good guitar and the perfect tone it can definetly effect how you play as well as using seating positions man its so important i cant play as good as i do sitting down
Would you by chance happen to have any tips for sweeping? Been playing for about 15 years and still struggle with it. I can pocket a rhythm fine, play a decent lead, but sweeping still eludes me.
Weirdly despite my playlists being exclusively metal, I've stopped playing it on guitar as I've gotten older. I still can but the right hand workout gets old quick for me.
If anyone wants a good beginner guitar for metal there's a few option but I would definitely recommend the Harley Benton EX-84. Its very affordable, well made, EMG pickups and its an Explorer style guitar. Nowadays for 400$ you can get amazing guitars without it being a complete POS.
Hey there, I was watching some teacher videos on here and they were saying don't touch the strings that aren't being played and doing chords that put your hand in a bind. And use only you fingertips. Then I watch some metal guitarists that were definitely not doing that, their fingers are flat on the finger board even when playing the upper E string, so what is it ❓ and they weren't doing chords, and no that wasn't a solo
I think that only applies when playing with clean sounds or acoustic guitars, I've definitely seen that on classical and jazz guitars players (proper technique). But for metal you ABSOLUTELY MUST touch (slightly) the strings that you are not playing to mute them (with either your fretting hand or picking hand), otherwise the distortion will amplify every single sympathetic vibration on the strings that you are not using resulting in a messy sloppy wall of unwanted notes and string noise mixed in with the notes you are actually trying to play. look for videos on muting string while plying and carry on 👍
A guitar is a guitar. I've been using the same used Squire I bought off a buddy 10 years ago. Sure, a good guitar has its perks, but it ain't really gonna matter if you don't know how to play
My little brother started on them...its more than good enough, you will branch out later when the time comes. They have different sounds/sub genres in their vast discography.
"scoop the mids" this is exactly why when you go play live you cannot be heard and get lost in the mix! Guitars are mid range instruments why would you cut them? sounds great alone but ass with a band
@@TMINE100 It confuses me. "Why is it upside down?" I tend to flip the tablature HOW IT SHOULD BE. xD The thick string on top, the small string on the bottom. Makes more sense to me.
@@KhyrisEidan if you take your guitar in the playing position and lay it flat on your lap or a table, the tablature standard orientation perfectly mimics your view of the fretboard with the lowest string closest to you (bottom of the tab).
@@SGuitars1903 Still makes no sense to me. Why can't it just be how you see it, the low/big string on top and the thin/high string on the bottom. The "Look down on your lap" thing makes no sense at all. Because that's what I see. Biggie is toward me, the thin string is away from. That makes more sense to me. I don't get it. Tabs are weird.
Make it into some drop tuning then chug alot and do some things with other strings that sounds right, then make it sound as cool as you can. No knowledge of music theory needed
That’s exactly what I do when making riffs 😂 chug . Try out some different patterns on the lower strings . Yesterday I uploaded one where I pick individual notes out of a descending power chord run between normal fat power chords . Sounded cool. I like trying different shit
Also, just learn Dagger by Vildhjarta and you'll touch on everything you need lol.
bro you really like that song huh

A tele is a great guitar regardless of genre.
Hey that's a sick guitar to start with. enjoy that humbucker tone man :

joe duplantier from gojira plays a tele so id say thats a pretty metal guitar.
