Do you use strict alternate picking? Down picking? etc.. ( I know the copy and pasted tab is a lil out of place, but you know what riff I mean anyway ) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Petrucci alternate picked it I believe when they covered it. I could be wrong however. I'd try and do it down picked. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Might try to downpick all of it - Pick the loose E string and hammer on the F then downpick the A-string. Then I'd just choose whatever works best for me.

So I use down picking, just alot of people when they've observed me (such as my old guitar teacher) he told me to play it using strict AP.

It is a definite down picked song. Just make sure you don't use downpicking for every song you learn. However this one AP can but shouldn't be used if you can down pick it.

Jul 10 2008, 01:40 PM	GMC:er Posts: 147 Joined: 25-June 08 From: Newfoundland, Canada	My wife used to complain about me not getting enough physical exercise (ie getting fat) so I set up an exercise session playing along with a number of Iron Maiden and Metallica songs using downstrokes only (at the time, I played most everything with downstrokes). Master of Puppets was the centerpiece of that workout as 10 minutes of downstroking can really work up a sweat. The problem was that I eventually improved in minimizing hand and arm movements that the effort wasn't nearly so taxing. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So then I started with AP, but I thought "I ain't gonna cheat on this, can Metallica do it then I also wanna do it!". So I marked the intro, verse, chorus and took the Speed Trainer thing on GuitarPro and started at 75% or something and went with 1% more every turn. Sat with that and when it became too hard, or my arm tensed up, I went back to 75%. I sat with that for a couple of hours for 2 days or something 'til I managed to play it fully relaxed You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
