Riffs

Learn how to play that cool guitar part in "Higher" that comes after the final chorus. Let me know if this was helpful and what other Avenged Sevenfold tutorials you would like to see.

I never posted day 3 of learning this...oh well...this is my 4th day and I completed it so that was the kinda learning process I normally go through. Some are a lot more difficult than others...this was a pretty easy one tho!

This bends are hella tricky because there are so many 😱 I also kinda bluffed my way through some parts in PGs solo because I lost track a little bit 😅

Another song from the "Directile Dysfunction" EP

I know, /another one/. Nice short vid for once. No commentary on this one, so here's my thoughts: I think I've finally got it! When I was playing, it certainly felt smoother. Now, I'm not sure whether I'm nitpicking, not holding the pick right, playing slow initially, or whether I still haven't quite got it, but watching the video back, my hand still looks a little bumpy and not as smooth as I initially thought. My left hand made a fair few mistakes - Watching Ben's video on how Syn sweeps, I picked up on a slight change I needed to make to my pattern, right at the bottom of the sweep, so most mistakes are here where I try and correct that (Downstroke on 5th string instead of upstroke). But I'm happy with my progress overall. Now, I'm gonna go work on some scales!

Who needs to go to the gym for an arm workout when you can play James Hetfield riffs? Great downpicking exercise.

Some stretches and tips for increasing your finger reach and span on guitar.

Check the second EP "Directile Dysfunction"

Another long vid. Here, I try and sort out my sweeping motions. My commentary isn't exactly the greatest, and looking over the vid, I'm actually kinda doubting whether I got it down and if I'm being too critical of myself. I attempted to take what I learned from the first sweep picking lesson, but I really think I need to keep working to get it right. I'm not happy with my pick placement, and I'm not actually sure if I'm tilting right and getting that fluid motion. It felt more compared to previously? Honestly, I don't know. Any comments, suggestions, ideas, etc are appreciated, because I'm unsure.

Here is my own "All around the World" Lick I showed once before. Only this time I play the extended version and I got my speed up to 200 Bpm.

This is the one song that i really want to get down but im debating if i wanna take a shot at learning it all the way through this early on because i know the solo is pretty challenging but i feel determined in plus its my favorite song from httk

Check this out! Im on drums on this EP. Missing playing shows, help us out during these times and listen and share!

I found that when i was barring and rolling to play multiple notes on different string but same fret the notes werent clear or played together. So, using the lessons on sweeping I developed this new kinda way i'm quite liking. Hope it helps!

Took a short video with my phone while practicing... :) Sorry for the crappy quality and frame rate.

Here's the analysis for Angels

Keep on learning new songs and trying to solo standing up 😅.

So, wasn't planning on posting this today (Or at all, tbh). Originally wanted to do more work on NRtD and cover some sweeping lessons, but had to prioritise this for college.. Just a rough practice attempt at "The Drug In Me Is You", using bar chords. It's not entirely correct in terms of exact chord placements or rhythms, I did simplify it a little. Still though, a good exercise for getting used to bars and stretching my hand (More painful than I imagined though, RIP hand). There are lots of mistakes and my phone vibrating at the start, which isn't ideal, but I liked the sound I got and it wasn't overly terrible, so here it is!

Listen to Bombs Away from my MetamprohaLies EP

Hey! I've posted on here before, but I just want to say I would greatly appreciate if you could check my channel out and leave a like! Thanks a lot!

We had Quarantine Jams, but why not "full" concerts? Basicly choose a couple of songs and play them front to back, without a cut. So here is the setlist: Bullet for my Valentine - Don't Need You - Hand of Blood - Room 409 - Waking The Demon Bonus: Trivium - Drowning in the Sound I think I got too carried away sometimes, but I think I still did pretty well, considering I was barely able to play one full song without messing up at the end of the year. Also first time hearing everything recorded. Hope y'all enjoy and maybe jump in too with your own Quarantine concert! \m/

Me and Bill have been talking arps, and he introduced me to a bunch of different shapes and the notes in the etc etc, and he said they're great to sweep. So, I'm practising sweeping using one of syns etudes (forgot which one tho!) I'm aiming to get this as clean and well timed as possible, so practising it real slow!
