[QUOTE=Necronomicon]Nile isn't [I]that[/I] hard guys. Just fast.[/QUOTE]

Correct.

So:

E-12-13-

at 240bpm isn't hard?

You can compare John Petrucci's playing and John McLaughlin's, both differ in style and what they actually play, but both have difficult solos because of the high speed.

omfg ... i can't believe it... NILE is coming to vienna on 23.4.2006 :D

Apparantly, Nile are coming to Camden UK too.

o sorry for not posting much guys


i got it pretty solid at 125 bpm right now. I kinda put it off, and come back to it ya know. I havent broken the 125 bpm marker with this intro yet. Its the friggin skip to the 20th fret. Im not 100% at it yet.

As far as like the first 3 bars go, i can get it to like 130/135, but like i said, that position change is fukking me, so i slow it down

yeah, the part with the 20th fret, 4th beat, is horrible :angry:

[QUOTE=repcak]yeah, the part with the 20th fret, 4th beat, is horrible :angry:[/QUOTE]



actually, its not horrible, i just find a deficiency in my practice regime.


If anything, it taught me i need to work on position shifting with a higher bpm setting. I've taken steps to getting it fixed


Im like 60% on that shift right now. Pisses me off

It's not that hard.

John McLaughlin thoroughly owns him in technical ability though.

lol k

3rd page? I think not.

Discuss the hardest Bodom riff/solo/song to play...

I have to say the sweeps in Towards Dead End are quite hard.

@Che Guevara:
i have problems with the following part:
20----------18---------17-----------15-13-----13
---18---18----18---18---18----18---------13---
------17----------17----------17-------------------

John Petrucci is playing it too fast on the video to see anything. the only thing i could realize is that his finger #1 stays on the 13th fret. can you tell me with which fingers do you play this arpeggio?!


edit:
I'm Charming was faster than me with bumping this up :D


i once tried to play the sweeps... too fast for me.. though they aren't hard... only fast :angry:

im going to list my top ten fav Bodom beauties!

1.Follow the Reaper (Death be not proud!!!!! yes)
2.Bodom Beach Terror
3.Angels Dont Kill
4.Hate Me
5.Are You Dead Yet
6.Children of Decendance
7.HateCrewDeathRoll
8.Chokehold
9.Sixpounder
10. Needled 24/7

For me its the intro to Lake Bodom. I just cant get it up to speed.

[QUOTE=GenuineImitation]For me its the intro to Lake Bodom. I just cant get it up to speed.[/QUOTE]

\is almost done with Lashed To The Stick

I havn't tried that. I've never really wanted to learn anything off Something Wild. I don't know why. I might learn Silent Night, Bodom Night (yeah yeah shut up)... I want to work on some stuff other then Bodom for a while.

Whats wrong with learning Silent Night, Bodom Night.

Songs Im working on now:

CoB - Lake Bodom
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons / As I Am / Pull Me Under
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here / Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2
Metallica - Master of Puppets / Creeping Death
Megadeth - Holy Wars / PEace Sells / Angry Again / Symphony of Destruction
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven / Whole Lotta Love / Heartbreaker
Symphony X - Evolution / Inferno / Of Seas and Shadows
Opeth - Ghost of Perdition
Deep Purple - Highway Star

I have a short attention span when it comes to learning other people's songs.

I would get sleepy when I used to play symphony of destruction. It has to be one of the easiest songs out there. IMO at least.

do you really learn all the songs at once? from the begin to the end?!

what i practise now is kalmah - swamphell, paganin - 5th caprice (only the intro, a version with only arpeggios) and the intro to Universal Mind.... and i stopped practising lake bodom. *g*

No. I would work on a riff or solo, get bored and then move onto the next song. Im making progress on all of them, but I would make more progress if I did one or two songs at a time.

The Downfall solo is hard to nail. I know there's going to be someone saying I can play it, well no.
There's a section in Hatebreeder with sweeps that's hard.
Warheart solo
Hate Me solo, album version is a bit ghey to play.
Children of Decadence
Kissing the Shadows
Hate Crew Deatholl solo is pretty tricky, as is Living Dead Beat.
We're Not Gonna Fall.

I'd say the hardest riffs are on HCDR. Needled intro riff, Bodom Beach Terror verse and interlude, Triple Corpse hammerblow lead riff, You're Better Off Dead intro all have fast stuff. The solos's for them are hard too.

if you think those riffs are hard you should download this thing that alexi made. its called something like Reap and Roll lics. something of that nature lol. but it shows a lot of COB songs. should help ya out a bit!

I have,

Reap n Roll Licks "AYDY licks" & the one with "HCDR" licks

I have passage to the reaper

+ A TV rip of a concert in Nosturi on the AYDY tour.

They AYDY one is hella sloppy. A couple of the riffs are hard to watch.

I think for learning some Bodom, I'll either learn the parts I don't know of Bodom Beach Terror or Triple Corpse Hammerblow. I played through TCHB and didn't have any trouble, so I might start that once I'm done learning Lashed To The Slave Stick.

I've finally kicked my arse into gear and learning the whole song instead of half of songs, then learning 5 more half songs.

Whats wrong with cobs main website?

actually Ducran said that tab was slighty off...

but if I were to play that, when i would jump to the 20th fret (pinky) and index on the pinky.


As far as "proper" fingers go, there really is no such thing. Id say stick to what is comfortable

I can already play them all, I'm just saying I think they're some of the harder Bodom riffs and solos. I have Reap N Roll licks.

....what about their Britney Spears cover? hahaha, now THAT was sick!!

honestly, all their albums are great, except i think i like Hate Crew Deathroll or Follow The Reaper are a little better than the new one, but i like all the keyboards, like in "Trashed, Lost and Strungout"

FTR is the best. I've been getting into HCDR a lot more as of late. It has some of their best songs.

Can anyone play Triple Corpse Hammerblow? I've thought of learning it and it didn't seem hard when I played through it.

No Bodom song seems hard at first. It probably is one way or another though, I seem to remember some tough riffs in TCH, even though I haven't listened to it in a long time.

Sixpounder is rather easy, the solos are hard though. Needled 24/7 is pretty easy in most parts. The intro solo/leads are rather easy. Bodom Beach Terror is mostly easy.

I'm going to start learning Sixpounder soon. I have the solos tabbed perfectly, but can anyone link me to a GP tab of the full song? The riffs in the tabs I've seen look wrong.

if this is slightly off, do you play it in a different way? if yes, can you post your tabs?

ill have to get back to ya on that in like 2 days...


if you are feeling adventurous, ducran DID post it pages back

Isn't that supposed to be one of Bodom's easier tracks?

Ask Mitch. I'm pretty sure he has it.

[QUOTE=Thor]Isn't that supposed to be one of Bodom's easier tracks?[/QUOTE]

It really is (even I learned it) aside from the solos. Those are hard as hell IMO.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]It really is (even I learned it) aside from the solos. Those are hard as hell IMO.[/QUOTE]

Yeah it's quite easy.

The first solo is hard but if I worked on it... It wouldn't be. The second solo is reallly really hard though.

The riffs in Sixpounder aren't terribly hard...the solos are, though.

Mitch! You have a Sixpounder tab?
