[QUOTE=ICB]Hehe, you know, that little bit is true. I have not gotten laid since taking up the electric guitar :lol: maybe it's because I can't play their pavorite Simple Plan song. I'm not that talented :lol:[/QUOTE]
I liked how you said "downpicking" was important, I also like to use downstrokes where possible. For example, playing Master of Puppets at a friends and he was like "Why don't you alternate pick?". I just learnt MOP with downstrokes and played it like that since.

Yeah, but that's only because you're Belgian.

How did you know?

I've known for a while.

I play MOP with downstrokes too :cool:

****ing foreigners, AMERICA RULES

I've always played it that way, I'm assuming that's the correct way because most thrash and old Metallica uses downstrokes and plam muted riffage.

What the hell did that have anything to do with anything?

True, if Hetfield plays downstrokes, so will I. It also sounds more "consistent" that way.

I am half Belgian, but I live in England and was born in England.

It is pretty da[size=2]mn[/size] exhausting, though.

It does get a little bit tiring after a while, but you get used to it.

No, I said that Jelle, aka Superpeer, was beligish...or belgian. Whatever.

I learned that song during half term (week of school) and that's all I did for that whole week. It did take me a while to get the stamina to play with the cd, but I managed in the end. For me, the hardest part to learn is the:
|-----2----3
|-0-1--0-1-- etc. you know, at the intro

Knew what? For some reason, you're not making any sense today, dude.

[QUOTE=ICB]Knew what? For some reason, you're not making any sense today, dude.[/QUOTE]

I meant that, as in Jelle being Belgian, lol.

That was the first song I completely learned. I didn't really have any trouble with it, especially that part during the intro. I guess it mostly has to do with hand-eye coordination.

Ah, OK. I get ya.

Yea, that can be tricky. I just had to keep trying it over and over.

For me I needed to strengthen my wrist (or whichever muscles it uses). When I learned it I had only been playing about 4/5 months, so my wrist was still kinda weak.

Try stretching your fingers. Pay attention to the warm-ups I gave you, they might help. Correction, they WILL help.

I have the song down now, I've been playing a year. Usually for warm up I play MOP.

Yeah, that's a good warm-up song. Pretty much any thrash will set you straight, man.

I've got to run to class. Take it easy, guys.

Have fun. I've got brunch in about 20 minutos. Bitchin'.

Metal guitar, you're Belgian? :eek:

I'm 1/8th black, 7/8ths white, and Southern. Does that make me special and foreign like you guys? :lol:

I speak some Flemish. However, I've tried speaking flemish on the internet before and my spelling is crappy.
