Scar Spangled Banner by Exodus is IMO really helpful especially for your fretting fingers. It makes your picking hand do some work too, since you're jumping from string to string constantly.
And my god what a awesome thrashriff!!
For fast pentatonic exercise I like Liquid Tension's Paradigm Shift, but mostly BLS solos.
Good suggestions, guys, keep it going

Psycroptic sound good, I've never heard them.
Cloaca's tabs make them sound good.

Great song to learn if you are beginning to learn alternate picking. Alt pick it, not pulls and hammers. Once you can play it to speed like that it sounds mint

Necrophagist - The Stillborn One and Seven. I had a tough time with the low end string skipping riffs. Speed, timing, harmonics... those songs cover just about every technique there is. Plus the solos kick ass.

Concerto but Cacophony has made me a much better guitarist. Not only is it a dynamic song but it covers all aspects of shred guitar. It did take me a two months to learn and play properly but it was worth it.

i think every one has a problem learning a necrophagist song,  seven was a pain in the ass, but it taught me so much |

Once you can play Necrophagist songs, learn some Martyr ones. That's what I've been doing and trust me, it's harder.

SLAYER- raining blood-good for down strokes,triplets and trem picking. also a good introduction to all of slayers crazy trem solos.
RIFLES AT RECESS-the downfall of roman catholicism and how it directly affects kevin smith-good for trem picking consistancy(keeping it up) and double time feel harmonization.
METALLICA-(welcome home)sanitarium-nice easy solos,also an introduction to legato.
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE-my last serenade-all down strokes.builds strength and an introduction to making pretty riffs with 2 guitars
BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME-selkies,the endless obsession-if you can play it,you should'nt be reading this.
THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER-elder misanthopy-builds speed and precision.
METALLICA-one-good for shredding and clean metal solos.
MUDVAYNE-death blooms-good for alternate picking,the whole song is played like that.
ill think of more later.Kryla;/  |
