JOAM, since u like Death, this is the best example. Denial of life intro riff, it's tremolo picked, and verse riff also, Pull the plug rhytm riff under solo 1 and 2( Rozz's and Chuck's) and list goes further on...
Generally, I would sum it up as alternate picking but, when u do tremolo pick u can't play staccato, because if u would do that than it would be alternate picking. It's like alternate picking( if u are looking strictly by the pick moves) but it demands less 'control' over it than alt picking. Mainly it's like fast licks consists of picking one note very fast 2 or 3 times in a row( speaking of tremolo picking in the solos).

U could say like that, but it doesn't count for all...alternate is mainly staccato, while tremolo is consist of mainly one note picked fast a few times. In live, I could explain it to u in a few mili seconds but like this...

Terms like "tremelo picking" derives from standard printed notation where to save manuscript space, shortcuts were made. Alternate Picking actually refers to picking technique (alternate , all downstrokes, sweep etc...)
pictures explain better in this case:
tremelo picking
notice there are variant of how it is written, it can show 32nd, 16th, or 8th notes, telling you which speed to play the notes. The shift to different pitches are notated by quarter notes in this example.
another example are seen in old "Eruption" or the end of the solo "Beat it" Van Halen tabs
Alternate Picking
Each note is written out to its actual value. Like a Death riff for example.
When reading it out when jammin, I usually read trem pick as more loose, meaning you only focus on the beats written out then keeping accurate steady notes. If it's all written out note for note, I learn each note and pay attention to what part of the beat it falls on.

so alt. more of a specification than a technique. Tremolo is inside the boundaries of alt. but is just one note real fast

I think you're talking about the old school BC Riches, not sure though. Post a pic of a guitar with the logo.

Hey all, I've gotten pretty sound advice from these boards before so I figure i'd ask another question.
Basically, what are some really common blues chords? Feel free to just start throwing chord names out there, i'll compile a list and accompanying fingerings with them. I just want to know what shapes and such have a good blues feel.
Thanks!

half of the point of death metal is to be fast. So not all of this will be death...
Some Bolt thrower (nothing comes to mind right now)
Territory by Sepultura is pretty slow in my books...
pretty much anything by Electric Wizard
Bloodline by Slayer
Here comes the Pain by Slayer
Screaming from the Sky by Slayer

My advice is to have your mind force the muscles in your arm to relax while trem picking. Its harder than it sounds but you will will be able to trem pick more precise and longer if you can just focus your mind to control and relax your body. Everything from your breathing to the action of your picking hand. A pro player looks relaxed while playing for a good reason. Get it?
Just relax  |

+1 ^what Soul said.
The beginning of Cannibal Corpse's "I Cum Blood" has trem picking. Lots of death metal has trem picking actually. You could also just go up, down and across the fretboard fretting every note while trem picking them, so you get a feel of trem picking each string.

Tremolo = change of volume (not pitch) up and down repeatedly
Alternate Picking = Playing technique
So, you can achieve tremolo with alternate picking.
edit for clarity: so basicly tremolo picking is this
E- 4-4-4-4-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5 etc Down/Up/Down/Up
while alternate picking can be
E- 12-14-15-12-14-15-12-14-15 Down/Up/Down

This link explains what trem picking is and gives some tips on how to do it. The Wikipedia definition is:Tremolo picking or double picking describes the musical technique of picking on a guitar or other string instrument in which a single note is played repeatedly in quick succession.
Alternate picking is just picking up then down, whether it be on the same note twice or on 13 different notes. Trem picking is a more specific term but is technically a kind of alternate picking. |

I'm trying to learn how to solo. Outside of the actual technique aspect, Im also having trouble as far as reading tabs. This one is the beginning to Eruption:
----------------------------------------------------------5---------------
--------------------------------------------------------5-5-8^5^0---------
\--2------------------------------5--7^(8)^7--5--7^(9)-------------8------
\--2------------------------5--7------------------------------------------
\--0------------7^(9)^7^(9)-----------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone tell me what the ^ and () mean? And how to play it?

The "^" mean bend the string, the () mean that's the target pitch for the bend. Bend 7 (e) until it sounds like 9 (f#). At least that's for the first part.
For the 8^5^0 part, it represents pull-offs (pick only the 8).
I guess i can see why you'd be confused, same symbol for 2 different actions  |

I have a question, what is better to use, the treble or rhythm switch on your guitar and what exactly do these things do?

Thanks. And also the /, what do those mean? I mean, I know it signifies a slide from one note to another, but what about in the above example when there are no preceeding notes? Do I slide from anywhere I want? Above or below the chord? Or what?
And for the 8^5^0 pulloff, what should I do for the 5^0 part? It sounds really dim if i just pull it off? Do I also kind of tap and flick the string so it makes a note like what you do in finger tapping? |

It's all about what sound you're going for? Rhythm will give you that creamier bluesy kind of tone while treble will give you a twangier snappy kind of tone. I use Rhythm setting when I'm playing chords and rhythm and the treble for leads and high gain.

You would slide into them from about 1-2 frets before what it says. For example for the last part with the "--/12", you would quickly slide to the 12th fret from either the 10th or 11th fret.

I'm gonna post this query here, since it's more of a technique question than a sweep question, IMO:
Lets say a a given section of a sweep looks like this:
------------9---------
----------9-----------
--------9-------------
Do you guys use three different fingers to fret em? I find that to be so irritating. Can't you just, say, lay your index finger out over the whole bunch, strum right through and palm mute the notes or something (to keep the sound clean)?

Of course you could, but for one thing it's probably even more difficult to get a good sweeping sound that way. And when it all gets down to it - strumming doesn't sound like sweeping. So I'd say, get those fingers working.

it's called the rolling finger technique, very difficult but you have your tip of your finger on the note you want and then for the next note, put more of your finger on the board so it covers the area of two strings, again very hard to do

okay the original song doesn't have it but this is my way of playing the intro to crazy train if you increase the speed over time you will be able to do trem picking no problem

|
the b is a bend, the r is a release. This is a bend release technique... all in one smooth motion.
The X is a dead note. Just lay your finger over the string lightly enough to where you are not pushing down on a fret and strike the string. You just want that dead thunk sound.

Sorry I meant to say the Edge III. I'm not quite sure. I own an Edge Pro and an Edge Pro II. Of course the original Edge Pro is solid, and so is the Edge Pro II. Not sure about the III.

Ohhh, is that when you bend it at 7 until it sounds like the 10th note? |

Yes, you bend at 7 until you hit the note equivalent of the 10th. It's also known as a one and a half bend, which is one and half semi tones.

You strike the 1st, 3rd, and 5th of any chord but not all together... in succession.
Here's a Em arpeggio
Code:
e---7--3------|
B----------5--|
G-------------|

... Dude, go look up the proper definition of an arpeggio and see if it says anything about having only one note per string. It won't! An arpeggio is a chord where the notes are played or sung in succession rather than simultaneously. All that matters is that you play them in succession!
Here's an Em arpeggio... believe it or not
Code:
e---7--3--0--
B-------------
G-------------

Nowhere in that statement do I see the word 'sweeps'. Yes a sweep is an arpeggio and sweeps can have more than one note per string. They don't have to be notes on individual strings. He asked about an arpeggio, he got an arpeggio. Now whether he wants to sweep the arpeggio or just pick the individual notes is his business, but don't confuse the man thinking that an arpeggio has have one note per string.

The best thing you can do, in my opinion, is to let your finger heal. it could take up to maybe a week but i don't recommend to play with injured fingers.
If you don't wan't to waste practice-time then try practicing some tapping techniques or some other excercises where you don't have to use your injured finger. If the strings cut your finger it could be that the strings are too thin for your fingers. Never heard of this problem before though |

Pat O'brien from CC uses DR strings. I'm 100% sure about that.

Question: what do the 'calib' buttons actually do on a chromatic tuner? Do you have to change the freq. from 440Hz to a different value if you want to tune down to E flat for example?

A few tab questions:
What do () mean?
Also, what about when it's like this
--------9-\-8----------------
--------7-\-6----------------
How exactly do you slide if the slide sign isn't right next to the chord? In other words, what does that designation mean?

ghost note/sustained note. It just means you hold the note from before and slide up from it, you dont actually pick it again.

Can you use a floyd rose without a locking nut?
I was wondering if it is ok to use a Floyd Rose on a guitar without a locking nut or locking tuners if the tremolo is blocked to only enable the tremolo to be pressed down not up.

Yes it is ok, even if it wasn't blocked. The locking nut/tuners just keep it from coming out of tune while operating the trem. You'll just have to tune it more often when you use the trem.

Thanks. That's good to know but I'll still block it. I hate tuning those things!

I just started working on the song Warp Zone by Martyr yesterday, and I've gotten the first main riff down.
This is my first (confident) attempt at a technical death metal song, just want to know if anyone can give any tips.
I was surprised I could even play the first part, my average speed is 140 bpm in 16ths, and the part I'm playing has a couple 16th notes at 172 bpm.

If a riff is like this:
||--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
||--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
||--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
||--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
||8---8---9---9---8---8---9---9---|9---9---6---6---9---9---6---6---|
||--6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6-|--5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5-|
or
E|------------------------|
B|------------------------|
G|------------------------|
D|---------------------~~-|
A|-2---7---6---6---6-6-7--|
E|-0-0---0---0---0--------|
Specifically, the parts that have you picking the 5th and 6th strings back and forth...
Would you use downpicking for this, or alternate picking?

I'd alternate pick it for fast tempos that I couldn't downpick it efficiently and fluently.

Thankyou
I've been working on the song for over a month, and still am getting stomped on some parts, luckily the reason I picked this song was to help get my technique up to par, which it has been helping to do.

if i put strings that go: 60 52 44 30 18 13 11 on my washburn 7 string and keep it tuned to B will it warp the neck or is that fine? and how can you check to see if the strings you have on your guitar and the tuning it is in is bad for the guitar?

your neck should be fine, you might have to adjust the trussrod slightly.
necks warp when their made of wood that hasnt been dried and seasoned properly.

t3h strings
Okay guys, i'm lookin for a set of strings that has these things:
bottom 4 wound, top 2 regular. THIS IS ESSENTIAL! my rhythm playing REQUIRES this.
Decently Bright (d'addario nickle plated steel tone, theres room for more brightness, but i cant have it any warmer/darker or my tone will go to mud)
most preferably 11 gauge.

I was jamming with my brother-in-law earlier today and he was playing his Fender acoustic-electric plugged in. He shifted the position of his guitar and *crack*, the wood around the input jack split. He then attempted to pull out the cord, with which came the jack and a piece of the guitar, a bit smaller than a dime. I told him his best bet was probably to take it to a tech. So my question to you guys is, do you think this will be an expensive repair, or a simple patch-up job? By the way, he got the guitar used off eBay so there is no warranty.

Im the same way. I must have the 4 bottom strings wound. I use Daddario EJ22 nickle plated steel, gauge 13-56 for all tunings i play in, anything from standard to B tuning. |

Depends on if the actual wood around the input jack is damaged and to what extent. The actual wiring and hardware is quite simple and cheap, but if the body by the input jack is damaged, you may want to see a professional if it's a moderate to expensive guitar. Otherwise, I would just makeshift something. Hot glue and ducttape are life savers.

I have a quick question... exactly how prominent is palm muting in metal? Whenever I play along to a song, I always notice a distinct difference in the tones, and I think it's 'cause I don't palm mute much. Does that sound right? Does my question even make sense? Like, are all/most metal riffs palm muted to some degree?

i always palm mute on the bottom 3 strings.
it's barely noticeable, but gives it a nice touch of WHUMP and it's what is most comfortable to me so to answer your question, depends on the playere

most preferably 11 gauge.

You'd be better off buying individual strings, I use the same setup as you, 4 wound etc... for my V with tune-o-matic. I don't know of any sets like that, I just buy individual ones, costs a bit more but gets the job done great. (V is tuned to Bb so my string gauges wouldn't help I doubt.)

Not good at all.....horrible actually.
If you want a really balls to the floor distortion you should go with some of BOSS's new Metal pedals. They don't sound like a hornets nest (Like the ubermetal, wich i use myself sometimes) and they're cheap.

a few of my strings buzz, I guess from touching the frets a little when I play. my bridge is a string- thru body whatchamacallit and it has a hole where a whammy bar would go, but its missing(the bar) and it doesn't have anything where I could use an alan wrench. what should I do?
