I'll help by saying that the songs are in standard tuning. The rest is up to you to figure out the songs you wanna play.
...or there's always ultimate guitar. Some schmuck may have already done an inaccurate tab for these songs.
It's like asking yourself if starting out with Yngwie Malmsteen licks is a good idea when you first start learning guitar. To that I say hell yes! More power to you if you decide to pick up a 7 string sooner than others.
I've always thought of it as more of a stylistic approach - that is, if...
Honestly? You could use those orange Dunlop 0.6mm picks and still perform sweeps cleanly and articulately, it's all about finding the right:
1) angle of attack
2) 'strength' for your picking hand
3) timing of the pick's 'release'...something that's almost non-existent for 1mm+ picks, which is...
By 'knuckle' I'm assuming the finger joint closest to your fingernails? If so, then yes, you've already answered yourself: if you find that they are hitting the strings, just consciously think about raising those three fingers away from the strings.
It WILL feel weird as hell at first, and...
I know it's an old thread but deepest condolences for your loss. I've been there before and the hurt is still there sometimes.
How are you faring now though? It's been a couple months since this happened, and I really hope things have picked up a little for you and your family. All the best man.
Find a facet about your guitar/bass/piano playing that inspires you, dig down to that inspiration and structure a practice regiment based on your goals and your available time.
It helps that the guys on here are suggesting things for you. In the end though, if you want it bad enough you will do...
Heavy keys? Well all keys can be made heavy. I'll emphasise arrangement and production like most have said here, and instead of referring to death or contemporary metal, we can go to the 'classics'.
Metallica? Master of puppets can still make anyone's 'top 5 heavy songs' list.
Megadeath...
Have always found it comfortable using the index/pinky combo for root-fifth powerchords. But of course I'm also a one finger a fret guy, and even prefer the index/ring/pinky arrangement for those whole tone stretches on 3-notes-per-string scales.
I love using the pinky. The only exception to...
That's pretty strange, the first thing that came to mind would that your amp has a problem. Have you swapped out the tubes in your 5150? How old is it? I tried a friend's Ashdown head once, but he never kept it clean and never took care of it. It sounded really really terrible.
I was never a...
My friend, I know exactly how you feel.
I study Law in Melbourne, and to tell the truth I'm a below-average student at best. This is because I lacked the motivation to complete my degree and really felt like law was not my thing. Because of that, I failed 5 out of 8 modules one year and was...
Drop A Death/Metal/Hard-core? Well if you don't have a budget then yeah, Bare Knuckle Aftermaths would be fantastic. If not, other hot passive options would be the DiMarzio D-Activators and the Seymour Duncan Distortion.
Hey guys, guess I'll start with a little introduction.
My name's Sean, hometown's in Malaysia but I've been studying in Melbourne for about 6 years now. This site's been on my radar for quite some time, and I realise that whenever I just want to surround myself with guitar stuff, this site...
