Thanks, mate! 🙏🏼

Sometimes things just fall into place, and you may benefit from in person lessons. I know how you feel, as I’ve had that feeling a few times over the years! Sometimes online stuff, books and videos can only get you so far. Being able to actually interact with people and ask questions in those moments can save you a ton of time with trial and error. But whatever aspect of your technique you wish to improve, start making notes. Always be aware of what it is you’re doing that may be causing the issue. Investigate it a bit and see where your research takes you. It’s amazing what you can discover about your own playing when you put it under the microscope. 🤘🏼

Thanks! Much appreciated 🙏🏼

Thank you! 🙏🏼

@@Tramaineguitar the "tramaine plays some mad kicks " short you did for jtc guitar, I go back to it regularly, it's so sick , 🇬🇧🤘

Thanks 🙏🏼 this is a Kemper profile from LivePlayRocks, they’re well known for getting perfectly matched tones 🤘🏼

Please elaborate on why it matters? Do you like music based on what you see or what your hear?

@@Tramaineguitar both, u can say what u want but there is a reason why this riff is downpicked, sounds more tight and aggressiv, i'm just sayin, still good playin from you

@YureK___ that depends on the player though, in my case, it sounds like this because I upstroke those notes. Trust me, why would I do so? Lol

Explain how it’s cheating and I will lol 😂

Thanks! Although I can’t take credit, Kemper profile from LivePlayRocks 🤘🏼

Thanks 🙏🏼

Yep…

@@Tramaineguitar not hating I thought that was funny bro

Thank you 🙏🏼 just the Petrucci wah pedal 🤘🏼

@@Tramaineguitar thank you...🫡🙂

The funny thing is, if they had no video to look at they wouldn’t even know lol I’d rather play it in a way that sounds like it should, than play it in a way that ‘looks how it should’ but sounds less than satisfactory.

@Tramaineguitar Exactly brother. In my opinion this is how it "Should" be played, if you use proper and efficient technique.

@ardeleansvengali4437 yeah to my ears at least, those fretted notes don’t have the proper attack (when I play them at least) when downpicking exclusively. I noticed this in my late teens - that it sounded more like the original track when you upstroke those notes. But I’ve noticed those who gatekeeping this riff, would also never even attempt the solo 😂

@Tramaineguitar It's always the dudes with no solo chops screaming, "Downpicking is Hard bro" 🤣 Sounds killer brother, just like the rest of your original music 👌

i half agree and disagree with this, downpicking totally IS a skill and it DOES make a difference in sound, it's more aggressive and sounds cleaner/tighter with riffs like this. But i 100% agree that downpicking isnt necessary and people should just be allowed to play however they please lol

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Why?

@@Tramaineguitar Sounds more complete, as hetfield plays it. Both are great!

Yes! Haha! My other guitars are all outside of standard tuning at the moment

Yeah it’s of course known for that, but I don’t quite get a satisfactory ‘bite’ from all downstrokes.

@@Tramaineguitar or the burn in the forearm! Lol

You also need to have a wah pedal on a particular part of its sweep. The tone I’m using is a Kemper profile which is already in the ball park. You just need to find the sweet spot on your tone pot.
