I remember you! Man, it's been awhile!

Yes, Lars is quite annoying.

I was watching that video posted on the previous page and it amazes me how fast Kirk and James can pick.

what happened to gocapps99?lol
yea theyre both amazing at guitar

Yeah James is insane with his down picking. If I remember correct he can do something like 250 bpm

poop!

Yea, which is absolutely incredible. I played (on the radio) Battery for my friend (the best guitarist I personally know) and he was absolutely amazed when I said it was all downpicked.

So 250? How fast for alt.?

I got rid of gocaps99 monthes ago!

James downpicks Battery!?

What a waste imo. That song sounds so much better alt. picked, at least for me...

James Gallop Picks Battery. Most other things are downpicked. Down picking makes it sound heavier.

250 bpm = 250 beats per minute with down picking which is extremely fast and insane.

Yes he does, at least I'm fairly sure. That's what I've heard. Along with most of MOP.

It sounds pretty awesome alt. picked too. I can't do either :upset:
The Battery riff is in such a not-common beat it's tough for me to get. I always end up like this

E-0-000-000--

instead of

E-000-000-- followed by the chords.

[QUOTE]250 bpm = 250 beats per minute with down picking which is extremely fast and insane.[/QUOTE]

I know that, but I was asking how fast his alt. picking is.

I've also heard he gallop picks it. I don't know how to do that...

I was sick of it. I like being called Joe better.

He's awesome at drums. He shows off quite a bit on one of the B&P shows

i heard he drum battled lars during the black album tour and beat him

Yea, I don't know about beating him because I'm pretty sure Lars would deny it. And aren't the Binge and Purge shows from the Black Album tour?

If I don't post anywhere else I think my 7,000th post will be my 2,000th in here...

Your first version is right though?

It's like:
D-5------------------------
A-7--------887-------------
E--000-000-665-0-000-000-- etc...

Isn't it? I dunno, I just play it like that, if you can work it out?

It's great for learning alt. picking, I play that every day (I don't think I'm quite up to speed yet, but I'm close) just to improve alt. picking :D

Edit: For Galloping Joe, picture two 16s and an 8th.. Sort of a very fast wrist movement...

daqmn
lars is good now but in KEA he sucked
james had to show him that beat he does in hit the lights
and he does it for like every song lol

I don't think James alt. pic much if at all so I couldn't tell you.

But Battery is Gallop Picked. That part where it starts to pick-up with the heaviness and you hear dun-dun-dun-dan-un-an-a it a Gallop picking type of sound because it sound like a horse it running along. It would be very hard (but doable) to down pick Battery if you want to get a good gallop sound.

I have the drum battle between James and Lars but James couldn't keep up with Lars.

I think it's like that without that first Em you play. I think that is just from the end of the intro and it has 2 gallops of 3 open E's then the chords in between.

But yea, my alt picking has gotten so much better. My down picking has improved a ton too. I can almost play half of MoP downpicked totally. I've also learned a lot of Trivium, like Like Light to Flies.

I understand but I don't get why it's called that. Is it something special? Isn't it just down-up-down like alt?

im a drummer so...yea

I believe he does down-down-up or down-down-down-up. I can't remember since I haven't played Battery in forever. I think they call it Gallop Picking because it sounds like a horse.

Well the whole calling it Gallop makes sense because it does. I'll talk to my guitar teacher about it.

I'm going to bed everyone. Talk to you all later

:wave:

nite e nite

Try with a normal alt. pick style (i.e. Down-Up-Down), but on the Up stroke, bring the pick up faster, and just lightly touch the string, well you need to strike it, but not very hard, and then really accent your last downpick.

That's how I do it, it sounds right to me, whether it is or not though, I have no clue.

howmany songs did newsted write or help write?

Well, I know of Blackened and My Friend of Misery, I'm sure there are more...

[QUOTE=Chu]Well, I know of Blackened and My Friend of Misery, I'm sure there are more...[/QUOTE]
probly not alot though...

Very true, although both the songs I mentioned (And I'm sure any other Jason helped write :confused: ), were some of the better songs from their respective albums.

i.e. Bass Players > *

yea cuz blackened kicks ***

Battery or One would be my fave Metallica song.

I'm more fond of old school, but the Unforgiven and U II aren't bad songs.

Back, can't sleep.

Those are excellent songs. I think most people would agree with you about liking older Metallica better, but I still like a ton of their new stuff.

Anyways, welcome :wave:
