Bacon and Christian?
you ever notice how no one ever complains about rhythm guitar parts being too fast?
well, i havent heard anyone complaining "God damn jon schaffer, with his fast unmusical rhythm guitar parts!" or anything like that... the problem with a lot of power metal 'riffing' thats high speed is its 16th notes at 220 BPM but just holding root notes.. 2 bars Of E, 2 bars of C 2 bars of D, fill, repeat. thats not riffing
What could you musically express in a 6-string arpegio that produces 33nps?
I was always too much of a metalhead to worry about pansy things like feelings.
Listen to early Greg Howe and you'll hear his vibrato kind of sucks, its way too fast and shakey. Listen to his newer material and he's matured, he still fucking flat out flies all over the place but now he can make his notes really sing.
If you can play 80 notes a second but can't make one note sing for 4-6 beats, don't you think you need to take a look at your technique?
yes yes, I'll take singing notes over a blur of two hand tapping any day!
