    Guitar magazines from 80s, 90s, where are they now?

    Hi all, I did not have access to guitar magazines growing up, and from the few I laid my hands on during the 90s, some of these magazines contained a wealth of information imho.

    Low Gain Black Metal

    So I wrote this riff a week or two ago and created a lesson for it. The basic premise is the black metal riffs you can write without using a ton of gain and having a blastbeat going over it. Other types of riffs, like this one, can sound just cool, but in a very different way.

    Picking chords for black metal

    Hi guys, so I did another lesson. This time on picking individual notes of chords which is a way I really like to play since there is so many variations and rhytmic ideas that you can bake into a riff that way. Check if out and just ask if you want me to do a lesson on something specific!

    Emperor style chords lesson

    So you can do a lot better in black metal than just playing those good old 5 string bar minor chords, right? I did a lesson on some of my most used chord structures, that I originally borrowed from Emperor songs, to try and copy paste their music :lol: Enjoy!

    Spice up your Black Metal Riffs [lesson]

    Hi Guys, I did another lesson video on how to write for two guitars in a black metal scenario: Very basic idea, but it is a decent step forward of just tremolo grinding minor chords on both guitars, without being super complex to understand. Basicly you have to think of the guitars from an...

    Using Reaper to learn by ear! (Video - Opeth riffage inside)

    Hey folks, Been a while! I made a video demonstrating how I use Reaper and it's fantastic pitch/tempo manipulation feature(s) to pick out riffs by ear, instead of reaching for a tab. The riff I learn in the video is from Opeth's Serenity Painted Death (Still Life). If you're interested...
