mitch, did you write that yourself? i don't recognize the song.

I worked abit trying to get a good tone, and i tried some different settings and i finally tried it with a little distortion on my amp and distortion on my pedal, and i think i got a pretty nice tone.

Here's a riff i came up with, just to try the tone.

Okay, this fucking forum fucks the fuck up when I try and do that shitty multi quote on you motherfuckers so I'm just going to do it like this in(fucking)stead.

Corny: Well I don't have anything else to do so I might aswell dedicate my time to doing something creative, I chose practising guitar.

Conti: Dude!! I don't know what the inspiration for those lyrics was but it's pretty awesome. HERE'S the actual recording if you wanna re-do it with better quality. Btw, this was the first thing I ever recorded with Cool Edit Pro so I didn't know about mixing, peaking/clipping/editing/effects etc. All I knew was volume and pan so it's not the best sounding thing.

Epi: I reckon you should do a sweep version of it, that'd be awesome. You'd get a larger range that way too.

Bucketbanger9000: Yeah, Alexi's technique is far from great nowadays. I'm really suprised he can still do most of the stuff he does because of the way he scrunches up his hand when he plays fast. As I've said to you before, that's exactly how I used to do it and even though I could play much faster, I wanted to change because it felt weird and my technique wasn't consistent that way. Michael Romeo has obviously spent more time controlling his because Laiho was doing that weird hand thing back in at least 2001.

Corny's comment after is so true. This whole "I'm gna party my ass off after this show and wake up with a hangover" attitude really has to stop if he wants to carry on being a respected guitarist/musician imo.

umosay: Cool stuff. I don't know the song too well but that sounded pretty good. Maybe a proper audio recording would do your playing more justice though.

Mystique: That is a song I wrote yeah. I came up with the riff a while ago and just had it sitting there doing nothing and so when I was told to write and record 2 songs for a composition essay back when I was in college, I just finished that off because I liked it. It's the last song (2nd page) on my soundclick thing.

inhe: That was cool, sounded like a Wintersun riff or something. It's a bit ghey that it's all panned to the right though so it's a bit hard to hear it all properly

No way am I good enough to pull that off. Plus, atm I'm kinda losing my nerves with practising stuff so I think I'll be taking a little break for a while.

Yeah, but the way I do it, is only my pinky is touching the body, and its not touching the E string or the bridge pickup, it is touching the body, but it is semetrical to in between the pickups, kinda like how Kris Norris picks.

Now Laiho tends to pick with his pinky AND ring finger resting on the body.
I tried picking the Paul Gilbert way, and it feels like I am dragging a rock or something.

I'm already there, I haven't practised properly for long periods of time in about 2 years.

That's fair enough but if you're going to do that, make sure you KEEP it that way 100% of the time. Don't change when you speed up and play fast licks. If you do, then you're going too fast too soon and it'll be hard to replicate at other times because you're having to "tense" up to get there.


And here's something I did earlier.

lol i'm glad you like it, you should create like three other death metal songs so we can have an EP lol.

[<-Warheart->]

I might just do that actually.
