[QUOTE=TSASI]Do you have powertab? I could make you some lessons.[/QUOTE]

I do, and please don't if it's too much trouble. I was just wondering if you had any already tabbed out.

Don't worry about it, i'll be more than happy to type out a lesson for you. I'll post it in a little while.

NOTES:

The positions of the arpeggios are just examples made to help develop your technique, you can move them up or down to wherever you want. I'd suggest trying them all over the fretboard.

Make sure you mute the note right before you play the next one.

Don't forget to keep your picking very smooth and fluent. Don't force yourself to pick hard, just let it glide over the strings.

I'll make more lessons whenever you feel comfortable doing these.

Thanks a lot; really appreciated. I can always use this stuff. I've just started doing some classical guitar stuff, and fingerpicking arpeggios are the only ones I know.

You're welcome. Don't forget to stay in perfect time and keep the notes clean. Distortion usually helps with cleaning up the muting part of it.

[QUOTE=Taste_My_Scythe]That's where I'm at. I'm learning the part of Bed of Razors right now thats way up to the 19th, and my guitar is squaking all over the place. It sounds ok though. Playing fast is the hard part. I lowered the timing on Bed of Razors on GuitarPro from 137 to 105. :p I'm probably at 115 now though.

John - did Josh make your avatar? It's awesome! :thumb:


Bam Margera. Yeah. That pissed me off. Now all these Bam-boppers are going to love Children of Bodom. *puke* Christ, I hope not.[/QUOTE]

I see what you're saying, cause they don't really care about the music, but it might not be so bad, maybe listening to CoB will introduce them to good music...as opposed to the pop punk most of them are into.

Ive been writing a little classical stuff and tabbing it too :thumb:

Thanks for the arpeggio exercise Josh. I needed it :D

I just realized, I've looked at the guitar pro for every single Bodom song...

Random mp3's have been dissapearing from my computer lately, and Sixpounder happend to be a victim. Anyone wanna upload it for me?

Ill do that now...

TSASI, go to the forums

My God, sweep picking is such a pain in the ***. It makes me wonder how much they've practiced them when guys like Alexi can sweep up and down constantly.

I'm pretty novice at sweep picking. I'm ok at 3 string sweeps, and I can do 5 string sweeps one direction.

I'm not too bad at it. I've been practicing several sweep picking arpeggios for some time now and I'm starting to get the hang of it. I've been sweeping across all six strings as well as changing directions, but I've still got a ways to go before I can sweep like most metal guys can.

I'm not sure I want to work on sweeping at all. I mean it sounds really cool but as far as the songs I write idk if it'd fit. I guess it could open some new doors so I should try it out.

I would use it sparingly if I tried to really write songs. I only practice them as much as I do because many bands I love use it quite a bit, and as a guitarist, I'd like to master as many aspects of the instrument as I can.

I tried sweeping once and dropped my guitar. It wasn't cool.

i was going to start learning to sweep...but i really should learn some theory first, im pretty much another kerry king when it comes to theory

ha...i dont like him either...thats why im going to start learning theory so im less like him :thumb:

Yeah. I like him though. I think Slayer writes some good, memorable riffs. As for the solos, I think you can guess, but other than that, I like him.

Wow the greatest thing just happend to me...

I listened to the Hatebreeder album, and it sounded like the first time I've ever listened to it. That happens every once in a while with something for me, and it is just the most amazing feeling in the world. It was like a completely new thing. And I still whole heartedly agree that it is the best Bodom album, I'm listening to FTR now and it's not living up to Hatebreeder. Black Widow is a severely underrated track btw.

Yeah, I didn't mean it really. He may have pointless feuds and he just can't say sorry it seems, but I've heard from others he's a really cool guy, and he's in an awesome band.

The beggining of Taste of my Scythe sounds really japanese, I wonder if they did that purposely for their japanese crowd.

in the last few bars it would be simpler to hammer from the D# to the G, rather than picking the G and pulling off to the D#.

Also the way youve written it makes the sweep harder, and in the 3 note pattern kinda destroys the movement. I can explain further if you want.

I love it when that happens. That happened to me a little while ago when I was only listening to Hatebreeder and Hate Crew Deathroll, and I put on Follow the Reaper. It was great. I'd forgotten how much I loved that album.

I think I know what you mean, but could you go on a bit more?

Sweep picking i could never get the hang of...

I learned how to do a variation on tapping, though, from my Dream Evil DVD. :D

Awesome!
I can sorta do the little sweep picking riff on Bed of Razors. It needs some work though.

There's sweep picking in that song? I dont recall

I suck at sweep picking

[QUOTE=flamesofbodom]There's sweep picking in that song? I dont recall[/QUOTE]

Maybe it isn't, but I do use the technique.

John - did Metallica work?!

Yep, that one.

I think all songs by cob are cool but I like hellion and needled 24/7 most :)

Let me send it again.

[QUOTE=zymurgy]I think all songs by cob are cool but I like hellion and needled 24/7 most :)[/QUOTE]

Those are good songs, and welcome to the forums.

I can never remember...is Hellion a cover, or an original song? It's the only song on FtR I really don't like.

Assuming we all live in the same time zone, you guys all wake up too early.
