[vejichan]

Can anybody here play metallica master of puppets just the opening 30 sec riff for 1 hr at 250bpm all downpickin?

Why would anyone want to play the same riff for an hour straight?

For me Papa Het will forever be the king of downpicking but there are a lot of great downpickers out there.

That’s one way to get RSI and not be able to play guitar again for a long time.

THIS IS THE CORRECT QUESTION...

I’m actually one of the very few that play the intro to Master of Puppets with all upstrokes. You really gotta push yourself.

 

[Hollowway]

Yep, I can do it for you if you like. Or, I can just walk you through it. Back in the day you'd do this with a cassette tape, but these days, just take the song and load it into something like Garage Band or Reaper or whatever. Then cut off and delete everything after that first 30 seconds. Loop it, and set the BPM to 250, and click "play."

Not sure why you'd want to play that opening riff for an hour, cuz it seems like it would get boring to listen to after about 5 min, but that's how you could do it.

Easy enough. Here's a quick tutorial on how to do so:

1. Take a break with the family trip previously planned out. Just do it.
2. Learn how to pick and play guitar like Emanuel Aguilar. Hugs.

You'll gain access to unlimited, unrelentless fap power

winnah! I like threads like this, because we can all come in and riff on silly responses until someone says something that makes me laugh out loud.

I've yet to see a guy who can downpick like Sampe. Hetfield could benefit from taking some lessons from him.

 

[jco5055]

to be slightly serious, am I crazy for swearing I remember Jeff Waters circa 2005-2007 or so posting mp3 files of him downpicking to prove he was the master? I remember hearing clips that sounded like typical 16th note playing at a fast tempo but it was all downstrokes.

[littlebadboy]

John 5 would like to have a word.

I've seen it played with all downstrokes, and I've seen enough videos of it played with all upstrokes to bore me. I've seen it played by puppets, I've seen it played by muppets. I've seen it played fingerstyle, I've seen it played with spoons... I've seen Battery played with batteries. I've seen Sanitarium played in a sanitarium. What I really would like to see is someone play a totally different riff with good songwriting skills in it. I haven't seen that for a minute.
