    Awesome video man, I think that your channel could really grow faster if you do more personal videos like this where you are talking to your viewers and teaching them things, but of course the awesome covers must always be the main part of your channel

    Mad props for making this. I guess I’ve always just tried by picking my favorite parts, generally improving up int those points, and then work backwards. But from now on I think I’ll say “if I want to play is long, I’m going from the beginning in order”

    @officialdudedolan4943 6 лет назад

    honesty is the best, and I can say that this "tutorial" is pretty spot on! Listen to what this guy says and listen to your instincts and you'll be surprised at how well you can accomplish things! Also the scales he provided in the description really are key to have memorized, it makes such a huge difference knowing your scales and I haven't even mastered them yet.

    • @NikNocturnal
      @NikNocturnal  6 лет назад

      Thank you! I really appreciate the support my friend. I actually just made a video on the most used scales in metal so be sure to check it out when u have a second :)

  • @mikeimmonen6619
    @mikeimmonen6619 6 лет назад +4

    If the song you're learning is from one of your favorite bands, you can pretty easily figure out the tunings. For instance with children of bodom, the tunings they use are drop b, drop c, c# standard and d standard. So if the lowest note is a d, I'll know to tune to d standard instead of drop d. Knowing what tunings your band is using will help tremendously.

    1. Listen to song
    2. solo starts
    3. oh that's kinda cool. It's only 16th notes. If I practice a lot I can do this.
    4. Solo guitar starts with 32ths shredding over 5 different scales with random 32th triplets sweeps
    5. Play bass

    Please more instructional videos! I have your exact same schecter c-1, Floyd rose and all, and would love some videos or just personal advice on maintaining intonation while changing tunings and keeping the action steady etc. just got it recently and though I like the fr it is foreign to me.
    other stuff though like scale tutorials, more ear recognition training, etc would be amazing and have me coming back to this channel constantly.
    cheers hopefully you have something you can add to how you deal with the FR because my action is always going bonkers when I change tunings.
