MrOlliguitar Huh. Puppets is hard? Now that I’ve been playing for a couple more years I never noticed puppets was a bit difficult. I’m sure I struggled when I was learning it way back, which makes sense. Or you can just learn the whole master of puppets album, solos and all, it helped me get my down picking to the point where it was second nature, and got me into soloing way back. I do believe a more difficult riff would be battery or fight fire with Fire. But that doesn’t matter, I still have a lot more to learn, I would say i still suck.

3:10 it's crazy how when you palm-mute those 2 bottom strings, you could almost swear it's drop A. Adding the lowest note of the power chord doesn't mean a huge difference. So deathcore in E standard is totally possible.
@robertwoods5168 4 жыл бұрын
Yeah, it's an inverted power chord, the fifth and the root are switched. In standard, the root note would be on the A string, therefore it's equivalent to a standard powerchord with an E string tuned down to A. My favourite example is Sylosis - Servitude, check it out.

@Lee McDonald no listen dont get me wrong they are heavy. But megadeth is more about the speed. Becasue .Metallica are not really a thrash group. Master of puppets and and justice for all arnt fast albums. Sure they have fast moments but most of it is slow and head crushing. But megadeth dont reallly have those slow moments its mostly the faster moments. If you know what i mean. Idk if that doesnt make sense thats fine its just my opinion. \m/

As the early Winds or Plague albums are in E standard they like to do 4th chords on the low E and A strings so it’s like doing a power chord on a 7 string but the 7th string isn’t there. Give a tight heavy and “lower than E” sound cause technically you can make it go down to an A sound

@@No1WillMakeItOutAlive i think he meant chugs* plural cause it seems like the only way to truly get heavy with E riffs is to have lots of fast tight chugs in polyrhythmic patterns jumping back and forth between that and dissonance on the highs

Asparagus No, I’m not. I completely understand that metal uses all the guitar strings. But most riffs are made of the Open lowest string and some other notes. What I mean with this comment is riffs that don’t focus in the lowest string. For example riffs that are focused in the Open A string, instead of the Open Low E, or even riffs that don’t even use open strings.
