1: Domination is actually in E standard but a quarter step down or 430hz, 2: bombtrack isn’t played with plain double stops, instead you want to play 4, 3 and 2 on the low E and A string and 6,5 and 4 on the D and G string
In my opinion, good metal tones are rather simple. Simply using one of the typical high-gain amps (Rectifier, 5150, Engl, ...) or any decent digital recreation should get you 80% there.
@@PrakharSrivastavWas just about to comment this. I’ve had one for over 5 years now and it works so well. If you want to pitch shift up you can get the Whammy as well
Hey man, I really appreciate your videos. I've just found you when I looked for a 'Dance Macabre' lesson. Damn what a great song. Thaaaanks!!!! so much, man. You got a new subscriber here!
Hey Kevin, I love your tab videos and use them to learn songs. If possible, I'd love to see your process for creating backing tracks for these videos. Seems like you write the drum and the bass parts. Yourself and I would love to learn to do the same for composing my own music. Thanks a lot.
the easiest thing to do is find out of the song has a midi version or a pro tab and export the midi file to your DAW and then just edit the tempo or any notes and drums you think are wrong, give you a good template, and the better vsts you have (superior drummer , getgood drums, etc will be better better than just jamming to a midi track) that probbaly makes no sense if your super new to recording, but if you have an idea, it should be straight forward :) worst case scenario you can just listen to the song and construct the drums from scratch, same goes for bass with vsts, unless you have a real bass in whitch case just record it like guitar
I’ve just started learning and watching your videos has been helping me. Can I ask, when I look at the tabs on some songs, you are playing two of the things on the same fret but only plucking the top string? It’s throwing me off as I don’t understand why you hold the two strings on those frets but only plucking the one string. Sorry for the long message, but your videos are awesome!
You might be talking about muting. Especially if you're playing distorted riffs like this, you can get a lot of excess noise. The solution to this is to gently rest your free fingers on the strings you don't want to sound. The other thing you might be talking about is an economy of motion thing. Like if you are playing notes on the 3rd fret of the lowest string, and you know you have some power chords coming up on that same fret, you might as well have them in position ready to go, rather than just lifting them all the way up.
It's just visual. He's hitting both strings but you can only see the top string vibrating in the video making it appear he's only playing the one string. If the tab shows two notes play both notes.
what would you rate a ibanez guitar? mines black with a pink strap and I'm a beginner! your videos really help. my dad also showed me sad but true and I can do it pretty well, we love your work!
My first guitar was an Ibanez, also! The great thing about most Ibanez guitars is that you can play pretty much any genre and it's going to sound good!
@@KevinBalke Thanks for the reply. I know what you mean. I currently have the zip tie trick as a semi fix so I can use it in different tunings more easily at least
Take Metallica off that list as well as a couple other bands and put some actual metal songs on this list, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, not the radio rock stuff
Awesome videos, and fantastic technique... Do you think there’s any way you could share your EQ settings to get this tone? Out of all the Metallica tone tutorials, I really think your tone is best, so I’d really appreciate if you could share some tips on which equipment you use and what your settings are to get this tone. Cheers!
