1. probably wrong forum.

2. don't learn kerry kings solo's, they're craptastic, improvise your own.

3. how long have you been playing?

4. if you don't know ANY slayer songs, South of Heaven is a good place to start.

Are you fucking kidding me? South of Heaven is not a good place to start for Kerry's solos. It's got good rhythm riffs, but the fucking solo is just chaos and noise. I think the best solo from Slayer is Seasons in the Abyss, cuz it at least uses stuff that make sense, like penatonics and the solo overall sounds cool, plus there's that cool tapping section in the end

postmortem, ghosts of war, raining blood

thats easy...pick a random selection of notes...they need not be in the key of the song. play the notes ultra fast and there - you have a kerry king solo. but mind you, they should only add to the feel of the song

right hand technique.

A good Slayer song to start with is Dead skin mask imo. It is kinda slow but picks up nicely in the solos.

spill the blood is also easy, and the solo isnt hard.

Actually, I disagree that ALL the solos are shitty noise, have you guys ever heard the solo on agressive perfector???

Yeah, learn the solo on agressive perfective, there is no point in learning any of the other solos.

Slayer solos are tight even if they make them sound reckless and noisy at times. Both Jeff and kerry recreate that noise perfectly every time live. It is actually hard to make it sound as good as they do.

I love Slayer solos too. They fit the music very well and as Soulinsane points out, they actually do replicate them almost perfectly live. Vernon Reid is the only other famous guitarist who plays like that and he is a fucking god on guitar.

hi

thanks to all of you for your help.
also i've been playing almost 5 years
also ive got seasons of the abyss on album anyway
so thats pretty cool i guess.is Rainning Blood the same as south of heaven.
also thats probably the most likely song i will learn first because of the simple fact that its the first song i heard by them.is angel of death a title of a song
also if it is,is that any good to learn 1st.
its not that i cant play fast its just new to me playing slayer for a change.

South of Heaven is a different song than Raining blood?

I use to play a lot of Slayer, Angel of Death is a great one. Really kick ass rhythm and chops. I've been in a Megadeth playing stage for the past month or so. But yeah, Good luck with yer playing!

Cheers.

A song to check out is Hallowed Point from Seasons. The solo is actually not the bad....although there is a little bit of mindless shredding....but the rhythm is good for development.

Yes!!

Try Necrophobic solo, short, and easy for a Slayer solo. Btw if you want to start shredding, I'd go with some Children of Bodom; Slayer solos are fast and almost always in ramdom pattrens

Silent scream is also a good one I think. It helps you build speed.

Dead skin mask is a good song for getting started. And it's actually true that many of the slayer solos are nothing but noise, but they really play awesome anyway.

silent scream is on south of heaven. Thats a good one. At dawn they sleep and crypts of eternity (both from hell awaits) are good ones too (rhythm anyway, I cant play the solos yet)

I'll say...

Angel of Death
Mandatory Suicide
Postmortem
Raining Blood
Black Magic
Seasons of the abyss


Slayer is good music to practice to. Playing slayer has greatly improved my overall endurance and strength in my pick hand like a motherfucker!! I'm not sure about solos tho, I don't really play slayer solos.

angel of death
raining blood
postmortom
the anti chist
black magic is fun
kill again also fun
dittohead to build endurance and speed
mind control for dexterity (the main riff is... cant think of the word... )
threshold for fast power chord switching

there all pretty hard (exept for the obvious ones ex: aggresive perfector)

angel of death, intense tremolo picking for near enough the whole song so great for practicing stamina
raining blood is simple apart from the riff before 'Trapped in Purgatory' which is really quite hard

postmorten is a simple one, i love the riffs at the end
anti christ is very simple
black magic is a great song and easy to play as well as fun
i love playing Metal Storm/Face the Slayer from Show No Mercy, loads of cool riffs to learn in that one.

If you want to get the Slayer, you need to take some lessons from other bands, and then take the SLAYER. I did the WAR Ensamble recently. Man, this is the what I like in slayer. Speed and anger. And I think, this is what this band is all about. Now Im trying to get the Divine Intervention songs. Those are hard to understend and play.

War Ensemble is a brillaint song to play, as you full of anger and spped!

Divine Intervention stuff is slightly more difficult to play, not so much of the typical Slayer riffing, i think Kerry King wrote a lot on that one and is a bit more experimental but is definitely worth trying to play, alot of awkward fingering on the fretboard.

Oh and garr1 Tormentor of Show No Mercy is about the easiest Slayer song there is, that's a good one to learn.

that whole album is fun to play, there's only the odd riff here and there that i can't play though

Spirit in Black is one of my personal favs along with Hallowed Point (some wicked riffs in those two songs)

their cover of Judas Priest's Dissident Aggressor on South of Heaven is easy too.

I agree with reign in blood being a great beginner song. You only might have some problem with that fast riff at 1:07 in the song.

RAINING BLOOD... the only problem you might have is that spider crawl riff of 6430-5320-6430-5320 in 16th notes, but after a little practice it becomes second nature

I might do that sometime this weekend. Are you going to record your version of Malmsteen's "Far Beyond the Sun" that you tabbed? I want to hear that...

Here's "Angel of Death" and "Piece by Piece" together.

It came out pretty muddy, but if you cut the highs and boost the mids on the eq in Window Media Player or whatever, it should sound alright. If I do this again today the neighbors will call the cops on my ass for sure... I was also sweating due to the heat with the house closed up and fumbled my pick a couple of times, but it came out decent. Angel of Death is a little faster than the Slayer version and I've always played the chorus riff in Piece by Piece a little different from them as a personal preference. Get crackin' on that Malmsteen...



EDIT: had to remove file from server...will update later.

Give it your best man... I've been playing part of that Malmsteen song forever and still can't get it perfect. I haven't even attempted the extended solo parts yet.

There are two tabs for Angel of Death on this site and the newer one looks like it's probably the best. I learned it from the Cherry Lane authorized book which is pretty much dead nuts on as far as I can tell. In my version I play the lower of the two harmony riffs in every case. If something sounds wrong to you with the tabs on this site let me know and I'll post how I play it. I think if I just copied the book I have that would be "illegal" and gay.

And thanks for the compliment! Maybe someday I'll finally take the time to learn the entire album start to finish...

Thanks yo. That take was a little off for me, but I naturally develop my own personal tempos on songs like that because I don't play along with the album and I've never used a metronome in my life. Whenever I'm jamming with a live drummer things magically happen in perfect time...

That was with a USA Jackson with SD pickups, Digitech RP-10 multi-effects processor on modified "Platinum Solo" setting, Marshall VS100 on clean channel half volume, Marshall 1960A and 1960B cabinets, SM-57 mic, Ibanez 15 band EQ, Radio Shack MX-1000 Microphone mixer, Waveterminal U2A USB D/A converter, and laptop with Soundforge 7.0 (wow, that's a lot of crap...). I haven't recorded in my living room before this and that was the first take so I might do some tweaking this weekend and see if I can get a decent sound going. I really need a good tube amp, but the Digitech is alright for distortion if you spend some time fucking with it. Word on the street is we'll be getting a practice studio in a few weeks and I can get back to serious business finally (praise jesus...).

is it okay if i record myself playing dead skin mask
not with the solo because i dont understand what you do with the first one.

2 thing's really you know the beginning bit
where you play the main riff well is the squeal bit a harmonic
or is it just feedback from their amp's.

2nd thing
you know the first solo i know the beginning bit it's easy
but th bit after that is it tapping or is it hammer-ons

Go for it.
The first part has both feedback and pinched harmonics. The feedback can be identified as a transition from a sustained note.

The solo parts do have tapping in them.

Angel Of Death. Fast but easy...And who said Raining Blood? That song isn't an easy song to start out with. Are you just trying to fucking impress people or were you joking?

Try Kerrys solo in War Ensemble, not too hard.

Raining blood is realy that easy. It has quite simple riffs, altough they may be hard to play at top speed in the begining.
And like said, the only riff that might pose a problem, even for the advanced, is the riff thats goes 5-3-2-0-6-4-3-0 on the E string.

I guess it depends on your skillset. That part is super easy for me, but the part that breaks my balls in that song is right before Tom screams "Raining Blood... From a lacerated sky..."

The semi-alternate string picking and selective muting is weird for me. I consider that to be the hardest riff to play well on the entire album.

i find that angel of death is harder than raining blood, although they are both really easy...

Isn't there already a tab somewhere on the site? There are like 5 tabs for each slayer song on metaltabs. If they don't have the solo, get powertab
( www.power-tab.net ) and search the pt archive ( www.powertabs.net ).

And if nobody has tabbed it out, do yourself a favour and learn to tell notes by ear and learn it yourself

and also i can play the 1st jeff solo for dead skin mask
is that a good thing.

also about learning it by ear
i used to be able to do that but i just cant anymore.

thank's for your help

hey just go for it man

whether it be jeff's solo's or kerry's if you got a feel for either one, just go for it man, personally, i can't play Slayer solo's, i've never really sat down and tried to be honest, i just love playing the rhythm riffs too much, one day i may try, oh and it helps having a whammy bar, which i don't
