Why is it called metalcore?

Try a 5a, or maybe a 5b which is a little heavier. I think slightly heavier sticks might be good for beginners as its a little bit easier to feel the sticks momentum. Keep in mind that you need to hond the sticks quite loosely, almost at the point of dropping them. Don't develop bad habits of...

Can someone teach me how to make this stuff sound decent? For instance, I decide to play in A, then I can strum I-IV-V or ii-V-I or whatever, but it just sounds poppy, lame, whatever. How can I spice this up a bit? Better rhythms, picking, etc? Or inversions or something else.. I don't really...

Learn some bossa nova

I know which of these i would rather listen to.

I liked the part where it ended. Seriously, its just aimless wanking around. Goes nowhere, has no memorable phrases, is following the old syncopated-chugs-followed-by-too-many-noodled-notes proggy template without having an ounce of musicality to illeviate the boredom. On the other hand, I'd...

To do decent drums, you'll need to learn a bit about drumming, and have pretty good understanding of time divisions. If you are better at guitar, start there, right the riffs and get the drums to match (you'll want to record to a click track at least). Then learn to sing your riff using two...

What's this 'we' business? I've no idea of what you are talking about.

Thats bad advice. Don't play so fast that it sounds bad; you are only learning to sound bad.

I hold the pick moreeor less between thumb and tip of my second finger, with the index offering some support. Pros: nearly perpendicular to the string giving excellent attack Cons: increasnng the angle for fast picking creates a bit of stress I also play leads and licks using mostly upstrokes.

He probably wants you in his band because he thinks you are alright, and/or know your stuff. He just might not be able to say that. Some people just don't have people skills. Some people are abrasive because they don't know how do do anything else. There are plenty of reasons, but you don't need...

The problem is that irregardless of whatever stupidity is being discussed, there are always a couple of people who made it work and get held up as examples as to why its not stupid. I don't have anything to say about anchoring, but the logic of pointing out people who do something is flawed. My...

My grandfather smoked 30 cigarettes a day for 60 years. Died when he was 80. Still think it's a bad idea to smoke?

I do a lot of other stuff, like cleaning the studio, rewiring things, adjusting intonation, installing plugins etc instead of sitting down and writing and working on songs. It's a kind of avoidance. I even change genre, and get into techno and drum n bass production, which requires lots of...

What attitude? I was just asking. The op did not make it clear if this involved free lessons or some kind of service, and in fact the op mentions an ultimate goal of doing this for a living. But now that thats been made clear, good luck on what sounds like an interesting project.

Is it illegal to transcribe something for my own use? Ie is it the publishing of a transcription that's infringing, not the transcription itself?

After compressing the piss out of it, and applying a boost at 1.4kHz.

I get sunn o. I don't get prog or djent or modern metal in general. Its just noise and cookie monster going on about his angst or satan or whatever, I'm not interested enough to read the lyrics.

will these lessons be given for free? Because if not, this is just spam and should be deleted.
