Sort of a response to the other Kirk Hammet thread (Some Kindo of Monster) While I love that video, because, just as people have pointed out, it is refreshing to see that everyone is human, I like to counter with a youtube video of my own. I personally think that people cant see the forest for all the trees, meaning there are so many great metal solos created and performed by kirk that people tend to disregard them, focus on really famous ones such as Master of Puppets, and go on to discuss his over use of the wah-wah or whatever.

Anway here are a few enlightening vidoes that has been collecting dust in my bookmark list for a while:

Since they rarely play those songs live, its hard to find youtube versions of odd songs of the Justice album for example, songs like Shortest Straw and Frayed ends of Sanity, I recommend re-listening those if you have them in your playlist...

And finally a video not by kirk but a piano version of NEM that might be worth a look:

Hi everyone

My goal with learning guitar has been to play decently as a rhythm guitarist. I sing okay, so being able to add a guitar seemed like a natural step. As a metal rhythm guitarist long one string speed picking licks are of course very important.

Somehow I just cant get a stable rhythm going at high speeds. I thought it had to to with practice, and of course it does, but I cant help thinking that after this long perhaps it has something to do with my technique as well. I have been practicing for several years, but without any significant progress in this technique. Reading the lessons here about speed picking I know that angeling the pick is important, but that I have done all along.

My main problem has is that it takes hours of practice to get up to a decent speed and even then I struggle with keeping an even beat without straining myself and/or bouncing with the pick against the string hence loosing speed and evenness.

I have gone as far as to provide two pictures (yes I need to dust my guitar! )

This one is how I hold the pick now:


And this is how I imagine many others hold it, a better technique?


thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post.

Considering how trendy it is to bash Metallica these days I thought remembering the "good" times might be healthy for all metal-fans out there. Enjoy this (best ever) recording from Moscow -91 if you have not yet seen it.

Hi everyone

This is my first post here, though I have spent some time learning from the awesome videos on this site!

I have sort of come to the point where I really could use another person to jam with. So far, thanks to completely tone deaf friends, I have had managed on my own but now I sort of feel that this is severely limiting my progress (and its no fun!). I am aware of that, because this site has members from all over the world, a guitar matchmaking forum might be tricky to implement. So I am wondering if any of the Swedish users on the forum, or international users for that matter, now of any good method (site, newspaper, store, club etc) where metal/hard rock musicians can meet and jam.

Thanks
