I got asked to be in a grindcore band at school, and I don't really know much about the genre. What kind of guitar playing is in grindcore?

Generally extremely fast playing, tremolo picked riffs, dropped tunings. No polyphonics, basically no connection with the drummer or singer. Usually pretty short songs. No solos. No complexity, etc. Basically anything but creative. Correct me if I am wrong.
EDIT: Breakdowns every 30 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU3Tfb_P3tk...feature=related This post has been edited by shellshock1911: Jan 13 2008, 06:10 AM -------------------- |

Yeah, thanks everybody for the help. Its not really my favorite kind of music either. Sounds like Death Metal without the talent.

I heavily disagree with most of these comments I'm afraid. I certainly wouldn't say grindcore is among my favourite of genres, in fact I very rarely listen to it but I will defend it in saying that its not all about violence and simplicity.
There are some extremely serious grindcore bands who play intensely complex music. Check out for instance my friends band Reth who play some of the most creative and diverse grindcore I've ever heard. Other great grind bands are Cephalic Carnage, Narcosis, Tangaroa, and Executive Distraction Tasks. To play this style well (ie not in the style of bands such as Napalm Death, Pig Destroyer etc), my advice would be a lot of metronome practice, and just listen to as much music by the bands I mentioned as possible. Hope that helps David |

Shame Narcosis split up Yeah it was a real shame. My band had a show with them the week they split, but they broke up a few days before the gig and pulled out. |
