    Any Djent/Prog metal fans here?

    I love especially Mark Holcomb’ s style. If you’ve ever cared to differentiate between the members styles, misha has more of the djentier polyrhytmic stuff while Mark writes in broad embellished chords, like the main riff of scarlet. I’m just astounded that people can write such original ideas...

    Any Djent/Prog metal fans here?

    I recently have been really into bands like periphery, animals as leaders, wage war, etc. I was just wondering if there was anyone on here who liked that kinda thing. I would love to pick your brain about songwriting for that genre since it seems a little more intensive than say thrash

    Good low-intermidiate guitar solos

    I’ve been working on httk for a bit now. The part that leads into the sweeps (the economy picking part) messes me up every time. It’s so stupid fast

    Good low-intermidiate guitar solos

    so I’ve been looking for a guitar solo that could help with the techniques I’ve been working on here (sweeping, legato, economy/alternate picking) but have been getting frustrated.

    Most Badass Song you have listened to and why?

    Who here survived a mine field of religious triggers to be here today?

    So, this is just me adding my own two cents. I’m still a very religious person, and I believe in God. Music is just a way to express deep seeded emotion. There are so many stigmas that surround all forms of music(metal=Satan, jazz=Douchbag, country=Hick, etc). All that I see as important is if...

    What genre do you play ? Is someone here who dosen't even play guitar?
