Children Of Bodom

[I'm Charming]

Enough with the Bodom talk you n00bs, your ruining our quality snow talk.

:angry:

I've only been in snow twice, once in Oregon. It snowed before Xmas(I believe it was.) That was sweet.

The weather idiots on TV always say it will and it never happens.

[MRDuCran]

We've been warned about off-topic stuff at least twice. Although you guys see this as a "community thread for Bodom fans", the mods don't like it.

[Kurrpt]

hows the UM Ducran

[I'm Charming]

We've been warned about off-topic stuff at least twice. Although you guys see this as a "community thread for Bodom fans", the mods don't like it.

Don't start that sir, you spam as much as we all do in here. :p

It really is a community thread with a bodom theme. Though we should try and keep the spam level down somewhat though. I mean life comes up though, we can't always stick to a stern discussion of Bodom.

Though I dislike their runing our nice snow discussion. :angry:

Onto ice!....jk.


I have several Bodom power tabs, that I need to work on today in addition to what I'm currently working on. lol

I'm going to learn the cool parts of "oops I did it again"... I may learn some of Bastards of Bodom or Triple Corpse Hammerblow. I don't know yet.

[MRDuCran]

Well when we started it in was on a week break from college so I had along time to practise, now I'm back, I've hardly touched it...:upset:

But my max speed Ive got to so far is 115. Im extremely strict though, if I hit one wrong string/note whatever, I'll stop, start again, and tell myself I suck. I usually take the tempo a bit lower too.



Yes Dylan, I know I spam sometimes but it may be going a bit far when you tell someone to stop talking about Bodom so you can talk about ice...:).
Especially since they're new, make them feel welcome.

I do that as well. I think it helps in the longrun but also drives me nuts. Then again I won't stand for ****ing up. :p

Your right Mitch...I should have said,

Welcome to MX, may I take your order? :p

[MRDuCran]

:confused: Splooge.

[I'm Charming]

:confused: Splooge.

There, I was nice and friendly...So much for that.

I dislike the n00bs that just stroll in here and are like, "omgz CoB rockz alot and WaRhEArT is totally the best s0ng 3v3r!.!."

[PsychoticFlubber]

I don't stop playing when I mess up unless I am recording. It all depends how bad the mistake is though.

If I make a mistake, I'll lose focus and it will just be a parade of mistakes.

Thus, I stop and start over each time I do.

Why do people type that way,it looks so stupid

[repcak]

is it off-topic/spam when i say that i just came home from Sunn O))) concert :D it was awesome

[GenuineImitation]

Why do people type that way,it looks so stupid


Because they are stupid?

Anyway, what are CoB up to now?

Anyone ever notice that Red Light in My eyes Part 1 intro is taken from Bachs invention 13?

Lawl. Alexi has "borrowed" so many riffs, classical stuff, punk, rock, death metal. There's references to films everywhere too, like the beginning of Warheart, Taste of my Scythe, Bodom Beach Terror etc.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

I think there working on another dvd or something

same ball park here man. Im around the 115-125 area, depending on my mood, and if its a good day

[repcak]

can you send me the tabs from universal mind you are learning from?! repcak@gmx.at

[Kurrpt]

yea, ill hook ya up

[MRDuCran]

Btw, those tabs you have in the pdf file are wrong, according to the way JP plays it. I have a live video and in the 2nd variation of the last bar, he clearly plays the C note on the G strgin, 17th, as opposed to B string 13th fret, the notes are the same of course but I'm picking about fingering.

[Kurrpt]

huh ?


i dont play any of that on the B string



/looks at tab



i dont know what ur talking about man :lol:

[MRDuCran]

There's a part in that tab that shows:

E-20-13-----13-18-13-
B---------13--------------13

etc

but the C is on the G, as you know.

[Kurrpt]

the intro?



its all on the e and G strings. Mine doesnt show anything like that



i see what ur saying man (finally). Its at the very end :thumb:

[MRDuCran]

Yer, it's at the end of the intro.

[Kurrpt]

ma bad, i couldnt understand wtf you were on about...


then i was like "DUH!"

[repcak]

its the same tab as guitar pro has: universal mind (http://213.251.138.125/?PHPSESSID=3207e41da5e3bb406db90e1c6769e37b&msbp=eng%2Ctab%2Ctab_list&keyword=universal+mind&imageField.x=0&imageField.y=0)
-> thake the first one (without the stars/not rated)

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

DuCran tell me if u get my email

[Shadows]

There's a part in that tab that shows:

E-20-13-----13-18-13-
B---------13--------------13

etc

but the C is on the G, as you know.
How does JP play it? I've been practicing it the way it was written in the tab, but it seems like an awful big stretch.

[MRDuCran]

E-20-13-------13--

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Damnit did u get my email

Ouch. That looks like hard.

[MRDuCran]

It is. 16ths at 155 too.

Calm down Amanda, I got it. I'll talk to you later.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

My friend likes you,he said he would come to england if u want him to

[MRDuCran]

What?

[I'm Charming]

My friend likes you,he said he would come to england if u want him to


ooohhhh boi. drama! sounds exciting,

\hides behind the door and listens

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

My friend he likes you,wants to be with you *wispers so im charming cant hear* :-P

[MRDuCran]

Err.

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

you want me to tell him your intrested lol

[MRDuCran]

No.

[Shadows]

E-20-13-------13--
B---------------------
G----------17-------
That seems even tougher. How odd.

[MRDuCran]

Well either way can prove to be difficult, that way there's the string skipping, the other way, you have to roll pretty quickly 4 times to make sure you don't blend the 2 notes of the 13th fret.

[Shadows]

I've been playing it without the string skipping, but the notes are played quick enough that they don't blend without rolling.

[I'm Charming]

No.

Mitch she's trying to hook you up with a man, it sounds like.

Run very fast....godspeed sir!

[MRDuCran]

I know!! Arrghh *runs*


Oi ben, play it properly...:p

[Thor]

E-20-13-------13--
B---------------------
G----------17-------
Jesus, I would just get pissed off and stop playing that.

But if you can play that, congrats.

[Shadows]

It is proper, the notes are the same. :mad:

[I'm Charming]

I know!! Arrghh *runs*


Oi ben, play it properly...:p


I'd hide. I heard a fine guitarist like yourself could blend in, hiding out in Finland.

[MRDuCran]

Yeah it's the right notes but I'm picky about positioning, especially if I'm learning something properly like this.


I'm not going anywhere near Finland, I hate the cold, I'm pissed off with England, let alone there!!

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

He could hide out in my room :-P

[Thor]

This man speaks the truth. Sweep picked also?

[Silenius]

I wouldn't sweep it but I don't know what the riff is like as I have no idea what song thats from.

[Shadows]

That riff would be x19034 harder to play with sweeping. You're much better off stretching.

[Silenius]

That riff would be x19034 harder to play with sweeping. You're much better off stretching.
x19034 eh? :)



I guess it depends on the style of fingering that you like. I for instance would just alternate pick that arpeggio in 17th position.

[talentless]

what song are we talking about here?

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

Man it was near 80 degrees in North Carolina. :)

Yeah it was 75 like spring time,nice and sunny to :thumb:

[Shadows]

x19034 eh? :)

x19034 I tell you! :)

I would alt pick. Sweeping isn't my strong suit.

[Silenius]

I do sweeping a lot but usually when it's an arpeggio that allows for a hammer or pulloff on the highest/lowest string of the arpeggio. I also love bar chord shaped sweeps.

[MRDuCran]

Wouldn't this make more sense?


E-20----------
B----18----18--
G--------17---

Not for me. And also since the whole intro of this song uses outside picking, which is extremely benificial, I prefer the other way.

[Silenius]

Yeah, see I have no idea in what context that phrase is. :)

[Shadows]

Mitch is a fool!

[MRDuCran]

We'll see. :)

[Shadows Within]

sigh...i can't wait for the alexi laiho sig to come to tunetown... I just with they would make it left-handed :angry:

[MRDuCran]

Learn to play a right handed guitar like me, you'll find your fretting hand can go crazy!!

[I'm Charming]

Mitch is a fool!


You better be damn good to say that!

\has heard Mitch's great Bodom covers

\has NOT heard any amazing Bodom cover from Ben

[Shadows]

We'll see. :)
About what?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Being Left-handed sucks for guitar :(

[Shadows Within]

Learn to play a right handed guitar like me, you'll find your fretting hand can go crazy!!
naw i've gone too far to go back, besides i should have to learn all over again becuase they dont make many left-handed's

[Apocalyptic Raids]

BC Rich make alot of their guitars left handed, and I think Jackson have quite a few models in left handed too.

When I bought my electric they had loads of really cheap ESPs at the shop but ESP don't make many guitars left handed. :angry:

This means ESP are officially gay.

[blue3]

That must suck. I know a few left handed people who learned how to play guitar with right..

You better be damn good to say that!

\has heard Mitch's great Bodom covers

\has NOT heard any amazing Bodom cover from Ben///!

[I'm Charming]

I'm so bored right now.... I've resorted to playing the keys..(keyboard) as if it were a real keyboard(musicial). Rather fun to bust out some insane solos. I do a great Janne impression. FTR.

Two straight days, I have listened to each Bodom album once or more. :thumb:

How hard is AYDY on guitar, (I havn't found a tab anyway)/

[SimonCore]

^Which keyboard solo's do you play? (bodom wise)

[I'm Charming]

^Which keyboard solo's do you play? (bodom wise)

lol I don't play keys. Read what I said. I was bored, very bored. I was doing the keyboard version of air guitar...on my computer keyboard.

It was to needled 24/7 ftr though.

[Mother]

Just wondering, But can anyone here play the COB keyboard solo's? Are they considerd hard, keyboard wise ? ..I wouldnt know because I dont play keyboards and never really did.



There dont seem to be many Keyboardist in this thread.

Then again I may be wrong.

I have considered learning keys before. I doubt I will though. I prefer to stick to guitar.

[SimonCore]

My problem with keyboards is that i wouldn't want every song to have one in! COB are probably the only band i like with a keyboard. If I had a keyboardist in my band we'd end up like 'Still Remain's. *shudders*

[Kurrpt]

rudess from DT is awesome

[SimonCore]

^ I have not heard them. I also like dragonforce and they have a keyboard but apart from them and anyone i haven't heard so i can't have an opinion i don't like.

[Kurrpt]

Dream Theater man

[SimonCore]

Too epic.

[Shattered_Future]

Nightwish goddammit! :mad:

I used to be able to play piano crazily when I was 6 or so...now, I only possess rudiments.

I learned some of the solos on guitar from Guitar Pro tabs :p

[SimonCore]

So any news on COB?

[Shred Danson]

So any news on COB?

As far as I know, only news you can make up. :p

[SimonCore]

OK. I heard a rumour a while back they gonna tour with Machine Head soon:O

[Shattered_Future]

They're coming around here in 18 or so days again.

[MRDuCran]

Their live DVD should be out soon, and they're also planning to record a Young Guitar type thing, but for guitar and keyboard, so obvisouly featuring Alexi AND Janne with demonstrations, fast and "shhloow". :) (see Passage to the Reaper intro).

I agree.

You met him... Is he cool/funny like that in person?

[MRDuCran]

Well obviously he is, as shown by the video I sent out, but after gigs, he's gonna be pretty tired and exhausted, probably a bit drunk too.

yeah when i got my autograph they looked exausted especially alexi. but i still asked janne a question :p

[repcak]

yeah... janne went to bed early. and alexi seemed to be exhausted and frustrated by nervous fans like me who surrounded him. he didn't spoke much...

most of all i spoke to Roope

[MRDuCran]

Hey all. I haven't been here in a while, so I thought I'd check out what's been going on. What's up?


Hi Mike!! :wave:

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

I type this way so get used to it like everyone else had to

Mitch Nice Avi,looks awesome

[Taste_My_Scythe]

lawl...chill dude.

So Bodom isn't coming back here. /pissed
Not cool. I'm going to have to wait until Arsis comes down or something. We need some kickass venues closer to me. All the good shows are at least three hours away. Grrr

AND the HateCrew Elite forum is down, dammit. So my "e-home away from home" is inaccessible. :upset:

[Shattered_Future]

Leah!!! Been a while...:D

Mitch, why does your reaper look like Cheesus?

That's a chick, actually...:P

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Leah!!! Been a while...:D

That's a chick, actually...:P

Hey. :D Too long, eh? What've you been up to?

What, Bloodred? Yeah, I figured.

[Shattered_Future]

Aye, that's the one.

I've been keeping myself busy...school, other activities, making techno, music, whatnot. :p

Howabout you? You seem to come and go sporadically...

[Taste_My_Scythe]

That's good. Busy can be bad sometimes, though. I'd know. :p

I know...I hate it. I've rarely had any "me" time to just get on here and chat with people. Plus, Bodom After Midnight is down...and that just ****ing sucks.

But with me, it's pretty much taking care of the family right now, guitar, ****loads of school, Ben, more guitar...more Ben... :naughty:

[Thor]

Welcome back. Always good to see a Hatecrew veteran back.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

:D It's great to be back.

[Thor]

Yeah I bet it's great especially for you because everyone's thrilled by your presence. I recently returned as well.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Hah, no one missed me. :p
Where'd you go?

[Thor]

Hah, no one missed me. :p
Where'd you go?
I was just more dedicated to sputnik instead of here for a 6 month period. Then I realized that I should come back here. :)

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Yeah, I became way more dedicated (and still am) to the HateCrew Elite board. It's only like...five of us? It's cozy, I suppose. But I missed some of the people I used to talk to here.

[Thor]

I'm not really a Hatecrew Elite person but I still talk on here often. They're one of my favorite bands.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

They're top notch for moi. Next to Filth, Shadows Fall, HIM, and way too many others.
Did you see them with Amon Amarth?

[Thor]

They're top notch for moi. Next to Filth, Shadows Fall, HIM, and way too many others.
Did you see them with Amon Amarth?
Sadly no but one of my best friends did. It's too bad that they ruined the show by touring with Trivium. Ugh. Oh well, I'd still go because I love the other two bands.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

You don't like Trivium either, eh? I don't know...they just didn't impress me. I thought the guitarist with the long hair was good looking though. No where near Alexi/Janne/Henkka though. Of course.

It was amazing. Amon Amarth was kickass, though I'm not TOO familiar with them. They did play Death in Fire as their last song, and I went crazy because I knew that one. Trivium was lame, and Bodom was....****ing...wow. They were just....electric. It was probably one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed. We had a kickass time.

[Forlorn Hope]

Children Of Bodom put on the best live show i've ever seen.

Iv'e only seen three :upset:

[Shadows]

That's good. Busy can be bad sometimes, though. I'd know. :p

You just can't get enough of me. :naughty:

I hate the board being down. I know Josh has a lot to deal with right now, so I feel bad for pressuring him, but lack of BAM has showed me just how little I enjoy this place.

I stayed hom from school tonight! I only slept for an hour and a half last night (thanks to Leah) and I woke up insanely tired. So I told my dad I wasn't feeling well and went back to bed...that was at 7:30 this morning, I just woke up 15 minutes ago. :(

[blue3]

I always don't feel well in the morning and my parents don't really care anymore, haha. But that's awesome that you got to miss school.
Children Of Bodom put on the best live show i've ever seen.

Iv'e only seen three :upset:Which three? At least you've seen Bodom.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

At least you've seen Bodom.

:-P

Megadeth and Dungeon were better IMO.

Megadeth, probably.

Megadeth blows.

You blow.

Goodbye mx.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

You'll be back.

[Shadows]

I know. I'll be back periodically but I don't want to post 50 times a day like I do now.

I'll still do a lot of reviewing too.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Ah ok.

Posting that much rarely happens for me. Only on some days (Like today)

[blue3]

So that loses the point of 'leaving'

[Shadows]

No it doesn't!

My favorite thread just isn't what it used to be. That alone is enough to make me want to end my eLife.

I'll still be here for Universal Mind, don't worry.

Yer, we still need to that Universal Mind recording too!

Hey Mitch, how long have you been playing guitar? I have a feeling you have an unfair advantage on Universal Mind.

[MRDuCran]

4 years.

Damn, I think I'm at a disadvantage here.

[MRDuCran]

How long have you been playing?

[Shadows]

2 years, but it's getting close to 3.

[MRDuCran]

That's not too bad. I've heard some people play ok after that amount of time, it's just most peoples trouble is trying to play too fast, too soon. Everyone does it, it's just whether you can control yourself from doing it constantly which builds sloppy technique. Considering the music you listen to, you probably have a quick right hand already.

[Shadows]

Nah, my right hand holds me back. I can probably fret any music in existence, but my picking needs improvement. I also need to break out of my usual routine and learn some full songs instead of just odd riffs and exercises.

I have the same problem

[MRDuCran]

Are you left handed?
I am and I'm the same, my left hand can do most stuff but I really need to work on my picking, only solo stuff though, since I learnt the intro rhythm riff of Needled 24/7 today and can play it perfectly at 192-200bmp, I was a happy man.

[Shadows]

I'm right handed. I really need to improve my palm muting speed.

[blue3]

I really need to improve a lot of things at guitar.

[I'm Charming]

I need to work on soloing and pinch harmonics. Those are the most important things right now, that I'm working on.

No it doesn't!

My favorite thread just isn't what it used to be. That alone is enough to make me want to end my eLife.

I'll still be here for Universal Mind, don't worry.
The Thrash thread isn't what it used to be, and I'm not leaving :-D

Yes, finally got my new avatar to work! BITCH.
That's a pretty sweet avatar. I headbang like that when I play shows too. :)

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

How was u able to get the avi to work on the forums?

[repcak]

in the last few days i'm practising a lot of arpeggios... i just love them. f.e.: serrana by Jason Becker...i can play the first 2 beats at 30% of the right speed :D

and i too have to learn full songs, instead of licks...

/new avatar :D

i find this statement wreaks of BS...

but that being stated, if you know your right hand is holding you back, why havent you fixed the problem :confused:

[Squirrel]

lol wreaks

yea, i didnt think i spelled it right, but i couldnt be arsed to check

I'm thinking about learning Nile's Lashed To The Slave Stick :thumb:

I leant that when I was obssessing about Nile about a month ago. It's easy for your left hand but you have to make sure you can get your right to keep steady at 170+, if you can then you'll be fine.

That's a pretty sweet avatar. I headbang like that when I play shows too. Cool man, I would too but I don't have a band. :upset:

How was you able to get the avi to work on the forums?
It took ****ing forever. I had to take a pic of every frame I wanted, crop each size and resize, then save to a different location. I used 11 frames. Then I had to mess around with the amount of colours it used so it didn't exceed the maximum limit for these gheybag forums. (19.5kb)

I'm not sure what to think of this either, I've heard a ton of recordings of this piece and the amount that were actually any good were: 0. People just don't take the time to get it right before trying to fly through it and post it.

[AA-12]

Just wondering, But can anyone here play the COB keyboard solo's? Are they considerd hard, keyboard wise ? ..I wouldnt know because I dont play keyboards and never really did.



There dont seem to be many Keyboardist in this thread.

Then again I may be wrong.
I'm a keyboardist.

I can't play them that great, but they aren't really considored hard at all.

[Kurrpt]

good god fellas. Ive came up with a method (seems really gay but works) for tiring out my left hand fingers before i retire for the night. After 3 days of this, my legato has improved up to 40%!!! Like i said, sounds like BS, but i was amazed :lol:

[Lil’ Bloodred Ridin’ Hood]

To all of those who posted on BAM, i'm still trying to get it back up. Hopefully it will be here soon.

[Taste_My_Scythe]

Josh!!!! /pounces

How are you?!

[Kurrpt]

well, me putting a bunch of tabs would really be a waste, considering how easy it really is. The "routine", for a lack of a better term, really requires more focus then anything.


All I do is isolate each finger, and do hammer-on/pull-offs to the open string. Since im such a technique whore, the finger never goes higher then like 3-4 mm off the fretboard itself. Its really about going as fast as possible, while maintaining that "perfection"

The part you can REALLY tell its working is when you can actually isolate the fatigue to the actual finger. When you start to fatigue, your initial reaction will either be

A: tense up like "fresh fish" on his innagural day at the county jail
B: stop cause you're a pussy

I literally push on until i can't go any longer. When you start to fatigue, you'll notice the "perfection" (accuracy/precision) start to go to hell. This is REALLY where the "routine" starts to show its worth. At this stage is where you really need to challenge yourself, not only physically, but mentally.


Mentally, you have to focus even more so, to allow yourself to stay loose, yet maintain that "perfection"


After i cant go on much longer, ill repeat this with all 4 fingers. I want to actually start this with the right hand (like 8 finger taps) because my technique is getting THAT good


edit : ill actually move this up and down the fret board, all 24 frets.

[MRDuCran]

sounds cool but hard DuCran

Why don't you just call me Mitch??

Let's just say that i've been much, much better. I'm living though, haha.

Good. :)
I was ****ing scared out of my mind when I couldn't get into B.A.M. for the longest time. Ben told me what happened, though. Is there anything we can do?

[MRDuCran]

Kurrpt, can you record something, I'm dying to hear how good you are? Especially since you have all this crazy equipment too.

[AA-12]

Why don't you just call me Mitch??


I do call u Mitch, sometimes on here i call u DuCran dont know why.You know i have my own names for YOU tho :naughty:

[Kurrpt]

Kurrpt, can you record something, I'm dying to hear how good you are? Especially since you have all this crazy equipment too.


actually, its funny you ask that :lol:


i normally only record with my GNX4. I barely tweak the tone, so people always bitch about the recordings.


I JUST got my SONIC BBE maximizer stomp pedal last night. I am SO adamant about this pedal, and the way it improves my sound, that im thinking about micing my amp again, and give it a college try for the second time.


If i recorded tho, you guys might think its less then amazing. I go for control over speed, and my technique reflects that. Not that i cant do my share of fast runs :lol:

[Taste_My_Scythe]

No, but thank you. How have you been lately?

Alright. Don't hesitate to ask, though. :) B.A.M. is just as much the HateCrew Elite's responsibility as it is yours.

Eh, alright. Getting by, you know? Guitar, school, work, taking care of my family (mom is sick, and things fall apart, you know? :rolleyes: ) and things like that. And Ben, of course. :p

It's cool man, play what you like, I for one prefer slow controlled stuff as opposed to trying to play Altitudes 20bpm fast than Becker and posting it on here.

[Kurrpt]

totally agree...


im not sure why these advancements are all coming now. Seems like i opened a flood gate or something. Must be dedication and patience i would assume.


I hope i can get it sounding right man. Its sounded SICK when i cranked the hell out of it last night. I KNOW the neighbors werent happy :lol:

[repcak]

I'm not sure what to think of this either, I've heard a ton of recordings of this piece and the amount that were actually any good were: 0. People just don't take the time to get it right before trying to fly through it and post it.
even the version played by jason becker ? :lol:

i have seen some versions... and for me they were good.

[MRDuCran]

:lol:

That time and dedication is definately paying off, if all you do is play slow and controlled for ages, you find you can go crazy without even knowing it, because you've never trying it before, it's quite satisfying.


Jason Becker's version is good yes, I meant recordings made by other people.

[Kurrpt]

yea man...


what surprised me, more then just the accuracy, was that with fast legato, my technique remains constant, which was ultimately what i was looking for ya know.

[MRDuCran]

Indeed, stamina and consistency are very important to good technique. Being able to play something well sometimes is only half way there.

[repcak]

do you use/learn (by) books, or do you just play and work on your technique? or do you learn only by lessons you find on the internet?

if you use books, can you recommend me some? would like to work more on my technique, sweep picking, arpeggios and soloing and of course chord-progressions ... metal of course (not blues or rock'n'roll)

[SimonCore]

I find the best way to learn to play accuratley fast is by doing scales over and over then backwards. It worked for me.

[MRDuCran]

I have soo many dam tabs that I've printed off the net, just search in google images "sweep picking", "alternate picking" etc.

But don't ever forget you're going to get nowhere if you don't actually practise it.

[repcak]

since last week i learn arpeggios... but i don't know if i use the right "right-hand-technique" ... on all these videos it looks so different than i do it (slow).

edit:
the best thing would be to see a arpeggio-lesson video where the right hand technique is explained

[MRDuCran]

There's not really a specific position you should be in, watch Jason Becker and then Marty Friedman sweep, they both can do it but they hold their picks way differently. The important thing is getting a smooth transition between notes/strings.

I don't know if you can record yet but it'd be easier to tell from that.

[repcak]

i play arpeggios very slow... i pick every single note; but when i am warmed up, after some hours playing guitar, i try to play it fast and smooth as in the videos, but then it sounds sloppy.

[MRDuCran]

Then stop trying to play it fast.

[repcak]

ok, i will stop... how long did it take you to learn arpeggios? i mean, to play them fast?!

[MRDuCran]

I could play the first bar of Serrana in the first night I learnt it, but it was really slow. I've been sweep picking for about a year, it does take alot of time and patience.
I kinda learn things fast though.

[Shadows Within]

Yeah I just started learning sweeping, i can do all the crazy arpeggio stuff but when it comes to actually learning one's from a song....forget it.

[MRDuCran]

:confused: You just started sweeping but you can do crazy arpeggio stuff...um.

[I'm Charming]

I started Lashed To The Slave Stick tonight and made good progress. It's not very hard. It's also really fun to play and sounds sweet... Though sadly theres no way in hell to tune down to AEADBE, I can't even go down to CGCFAD. The strings will flop.

Though with the wonders of ajusting my amp's tone and trying different palm muting tecniques I have it sounding pretty damn heavy and good.

I've gotten pretty good at ajusting tone btw. lol.

[Hollywood Rose]

It's alright to play the "step down" stuff in standard, doesn't sound as bad as I thought.

[repcak]

the only arpeggio part i can play as fast as it should be is the intro to swamphell by kalmah... this song is just great, and the arpeggio is easy.

Never heard it, I'm going to download some of their stuff 'cause I've never heard it.

[repcak]

if you want i can send you the song through email...

[MRDuCran]

It's cool man, I just downloaded it. I hear the arpeggios, the sound alot easier than anything Becker, Cooley or Li have written. I'll give em a shot later I think.

[Shadows Within]

:confused: You just started sweeping but you can do crazy arpeggio stuff...um.
well not arpeggios but mostly just zakk wylde style stuff just not as fast.

If you find the chorus easy, you're playing it wrong.

[I'm Charming]

I havn't gotten there yet. ftr.

That the part where you skip down several strings at lightning pace? Back and forth?

That seems like it will be pretty damn hard.

[PsychoticFlubber]

well not arpeggios but mostly just zakk wylde style stuff just not as fast.
Zakk Wylde rarely ever sweeps. The only sweeps he does are just between two strings, which I don't personally consider sweeps. If you want to start sweeping, I suggest doing things slowly like 3 string arpeggios and then 5 string. I was dumb and started off with 5, but I got it down far quicker than anyone else I ever knew.

[Shadows]

Norwegian is a pretty awesome language.

[MRDuCran]

Haha that bit is HARD. I'm going to record the first bit of it later, but not that bit.

[I'm Charming]

Haha that bit is HARD. I'm going to record the first bit of it later, but not that bit.

I played through it at about 1/5 speed or so.. lawl.

Then sped it up a bit, damn... HARD AS HELL.
I got up to that point down pretty damn well. So I'm happy about that.

I'll start the torture of learning that next part later. oh boi.. already sounds fun :p

[MRDuCran]

Mmmm, it seems that the tab for Lashed to the Slave stick is pretty wrong, according to Karl and Joe.

[Shadows]

I finally got a working version of GP and have begun my love affair with The Leper Affinity.

[MRDuCran]

A working version, what was up with the others and where did you get them??

[Shadows]

I don't know what was up. I had gp4, but I could only play gp3 files. Anything newer and I would get "to open this file, please update your guitar pro software". I deleted everything and pirated a new copy and now it all works.

[MRDuCran]

You just needed the update unstaller thingy, but it's all good now.

Mitch: Which tab are you referring to and which way is correct?

[Inkstar]

I've only just signed up these forums (hey all!), so quickly I'd like to say Bodom are one of my all time favourite bands.

On the point of their last album, I didn't really like it. It just seemed too... "punky" (I'm gunna get flamed for that) in my opinion. It wasn't typical Bodom style, and I'm quite disappointed in it.

Favourite album, for me, would probably be Hatebreeder, closely followed by Something Wild (Lake Bodom = GOD). Hatebreeder had the classic that is Silent Night, Bodom Night, as well as Hatebreeder, Children Of Bodom and Downfall. Great songs those. Although I must say, I think I'm the only person who doesn't like Warheart.

Oh yeah, and I'm a drummer. ^^

First... Welcome to the forums!!!

You quite possibly are the only person who doesn't like Warheart.

AYDY wasn't "punky". I don't hear that at all in it. It's in fact alot heavier then CoB's other works. You most likely don't like it because there isn't the neo classical elements in it. (listing Something Wild and Hatebreeder as your favs would lead me to believe this).
Hatebreeder is second best in my book. Follow The Reaper being first.

If you listen through each album, in order... You can hear they were getting heavier and heavier with each release.

I think Something Wild is more "punky" then AYDY by far. With "The Nail".

Yeah I dig what you're saying, but by punky I just meant it seemed too... straight forward. You know? I couldn't say it's verse-chorus-verse-chorus because alot of their older songs are like that in way, but yeah, maybe it is the whole neo classical thing that seems missing.

[I'm Charming]

Try playing some of the songs on AYDY, many of them are actually more technical then older CoB.

FTW.

[Inkstar]

True hey? I may just do that.

By the way, me and some mates are doing Lake Bodom for a local Battle Of The Bands competition. All the other bands play crap like... I dunno, crap. :P

But yeah, gogo us.

You were actually the other guy I was referring to.

"I and another play drums", Sorry if that wasn't clear enough, it was worded in a weird way now that I look at it.

Ah, well drums are basically my main now. Guitar has only been annoying me lately.

no, don't do it.... playing guitar is the best thing in the world you can do!!

Well, if that's what you want to do. Most people I know start out playing something else and later discover that guitar is much more enjoyable, but then again I live in a town full of retards.

@MRDuCran: how long does it take you to learn a whole song (intermediate level)? solo included...1months, 2months. i don't have a wealth stamina and need to know it, how long i will have to practise a song, until i can play it.
