The key is to breath and focus on relaxing all your muscles. This kind of metal is heavy and fast, but you have to play like a feather. It takes surprisingly little effort to fret a note and pick a string, it's just a matter of training yourself to relax while doing it.
@adammelin26278 жыл бұрын
the problem is that if you wanna play it and get it to sound good you need to hit the strings quite hard anyway. I'm working on refining this technique and I've gotten pretty far. so you gotta relax every muscle in your entire body, but still hit the strings hard

@@adammelin2627 Hit the strings hard only on the moment of impact. Your hand doesn't need to be 100% tense for the entire time. It's a matter of relaxing and contracting at the right time. I've not played guitar for a while but can still nail the first half of the song pretty effortlessly doing exactly that. It's not about hitting soft, it's about economy of movement.

Guys... In case you're not doing it yet... Arc your picking thumb... Like an OK shape with your hand. 👌 Take a look at how Papa Hetfield grabs it. That takes a lot of the stress away. The index and thumb nailtips should practically be touching. (Also, James uses both his index and middle finger, but I don't think that's actually necessary...)
