Gabriel Leopardi24th March 2008Awesome lesson Trond! Great riffing!
awesome!
love the riffs.
Hey Trond, I'm having trouble with holding my pick facing towards the ground and getting the quick alternative picking. My downstrokes are working but my upstrokes are getting caught up on the string. For playing the bass notes is it a bad idea for me to make a habit out of just using the flat pick technique where it's not at an angle cause that is seems to work right now.. And also what thickness pick do you use? I'm switching between two picks, a medium and a .46mm. Do you think those are too light for this type of music?
Danilo Capezzuto24th March 2008I really love your lessons!
and one more question. Sorry for all the text..
how do you count the
[----------------3-]
[----------------5-]
[0-0-0--0--0--0----]
at the intro for example. Is it right to count "tri-p-let, 1, and, 2, and"?
Trond Vold24th March 2008NoPayneNoGain: Picking angles are very individual i think. I prefer an angle, but i know many that use flat picking.
Go for what works best.
I think .46 is a bit too light for metal. Especially when your trying faster alternate picking.
I usually use Jazz II picks (1.18mm i think), just right for me.
And yes, you can count it like that. But they arent technially triplet notes. The 3 first are 32 notes and the rest of the open string notes are 16th notes.
BIGD225th March 2008cool lesson.....love it Trond
Dejan Farkas25th March 2008Great riffs :![]()

i love drop d stuff! this is cool! by the way, you oughta do some lessons with your guitar that has a whammy bar - the one that doesn't give you trouble. that would be cool adding some squealies and dive bombs for us! keep rocking!
whew! on #9 that's a big stretch on the second bar. I'm substituting it for a split chord that's right next to it and sounds the same. you got big hands to do that stretch! ![]()








Usages of the always cool Dropped D tuning, working on downstroke stability, alternate- and downstroke-picking switching and practicing a bit more speedy rhythm-playing.
