Try the Inearthed demos. That's their greatest stuff imo.

And actually I was referring to how everyone starts off claiming all 'death metal' (just a tip, CoB is NOT death metal) sound the same, and they are talentless and whatnot. After about 4 or 5 months though, that usually changes.

I'm learning Kissing the Shadows now. Still, if anyone wants to do that cover, I'm willing.

I just got a new keyboard too.

I'm also learning this section of The Glass Prison by DT. That verse arpeggio thing.

Are you learning the guitar part or just keys?

Anyways. Universal Mind is MUCH easier than I thought.

The main riff isn't hard. The intro is rather tricky. I can play it almost up to speed but it sounds REALLY sloppy. So I started really slow. Which is where I'm at on it. Just going to slowly work the speed up with what sounds crisp and clear.

ahhhh ok.....makes sense

[QUOTE=innocent criminal]ahhhh ok.....makes sense[/QUOTE]


Here are the album rankings, according to me.

1. Follow The Reaper
2. Hatebreeder
3. Something Wild
4. Tokyo Warhearts (live)
5. Hatecrew Death roll

and then you have AYDY. :p

Bodom aren't Death Metal, Opeth aren't Death Metal. Bodom is Extreme Power Metal in their first 3 albums, and I guess Melodic Groove in their next 2? I don't know the genre for AYDY and HCDR is extremely hard to figure out. And Opeth are Extreme Progressive Metal. Neither one has a huge Death Metal influence.

And no, not any teenage band can write like Bodom. They are highly influenced by Bach and Mozart and have some stuff that is composed far beyond the skill of many people. I'd like to see you try and write something like Hatebreeder. Don't judge them off their new stuff it is almost like a different band.

Whatchoo talkin' bout, Julian? Opeth has tons of Death Metal influence!

Bodom, on the other hand, does not. Just harsh vocals.

And I wouldn't call Bodom's more recent material 'Melodic Groove', more along the lines of Post-Thrash. Or Horsecrap. Either works just fine.

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]Oh that programming. The most advanced stuff I know is:

size = 5 [b ] [/b ] etc lawl.

I think with your constant talk about maintaining accuracy, and aiming for that during practise as opposed to speed would make you a great teacher. I'd also do that too but you seem to know how to explain it much better. My words would just be the same old crap that everyone on message boards say. Start slow, keep it clean, get faster etc, I'd prefer to demonstrate.

But yeah, if you get the chance, you should definately try it at least.[/QUOTE]


i always thought i was pretty good with words. Explaining something that begins as a thought, and is executed by the muscles is very complex. The main problem I have with current DVD teachings/instructionals is that they rarely provide any insight as to WHAT exactly is happening. Since I'm 100% self-taught at this point, its fairly easy for me to recall my days at the beginning, and explain what I've done to over come these problems. I'm quite the technique whore.

this may sound dumb but i don't know what means the lyrics of sixpounder
does someone here knows?

Nothing meaningful.

[QUOTE=innocent criminal]this band is sub par just as their musical talent is sub par and any teenage death metal band can reproduce this with ease and easily be better at it!.... the lead singer simply cannot sing....his screams are very boring! have no idea how you can listen to this the whole way through an album!


and before you go about criticising me for being against death metal etc you should know that my fav band is opeth......ahh a band with true musical talent as they float between pure beauty to pure rage so perfectly...not to mention mikael's growls!!!!!! now thats a musical talent....

had to edit it alittle bit...dont want to be too harsh......they are still no comparison to opeth[/QUOTE]
I like you, heh.

[quote=innocent criminal]Blah blah blah[/quote]

You need to sort it out. I don't have a problem with you not liking Children of Bodom, but coming in here [b]just[/b] to say they you don't like them and that Opeth are better, that's pointless and I do have a problem with that. For your information, this band have plenty of music talent, and I hate Opeth because they're boring, goodbye.

That'd be awesome if you could record them both after. Now you have GP, you can download the tabs and use them as backing tracks by muting (M) the keyboard parts.

I know what you mean about not really teaching whats happening, it's all about how fast they can play a certain lick in Amin. Being self-taught as well, I can see where you're coming from and again, you'd make a great teacher.

I'm learning the key part that starts around 3:40-3:50 for the Glass Prison and I'm learning all the keys for Kissing the Shadows.

damn you rule mitch :thumb:



i had a semi-major breaking through with my picking hand. Ill give you a major update next week. Surprisingly, it came while i was doing the sweeping + tap solos in bed of razors. I was giddy for the rest of the night :lol:


lame, i know

Tap solos in Bed of Razors? You mean you were improvising over it?

I've seen many ways to play that solo, one of which involves sweeping and tapping.

[QUOTE=MRDuCran]Tap solos in Bed of Razors? You mean you were improvising over it?[/QUOTE]


nah nah


its a basic 5 string sweep up to the 15 fret, high e, then to the 19th fret. I COULD stretch it, if i were to use my middle finger on the 15th, index on the 12th, and pinky on the 19th, but i saw a video of a guy tapping the 19th, and i was like "DUH"

I tried stretching the first time I ever saw that. My hand has been paralyzed for months. :(

the common thing with TRYING to stretch beyond your reach is you try way to hard, the tension builds to massive proportions, and you cant make it.


Obviously, when you someone who can stretch, you think "man, that fukker has huge hands" in reality, my fingers are small as hell, and i play on a 27" baritone.


what you need to do is stay relaxed, and try to push the boundaries. What i do is try to work out, in my head/brain what my limitations are. I try to find that outer most reach where i can stretch, yet remain comfortable. At that point, you try to push the boundary a little at a time, hold, while remaining calm.

my stretches have started to get ridiculous with this baritone. I recommend it to ANYONE whos a technique whore like me.

for that example, i actually found myself being able to hit the 19th with accuracy, until i remembered that video. Normally i would tap the 20th on a normal sweep exercise, and i felt sheepish for even attempting to make the stretch :lol:

can someone upload the GP tab for "War Within"? i don't have it and mysongbook.com is down

You mean "Wrath Within"?

ups... yes: "Wrath Within"

That's the wrong arpeggio. It ascends as Cmaj, and descends as Emin.
You can see the way I play it in the powertab I did.
