actually there is no good albums from annihilator except the first one "alice in hell". please correct me if i'm wrong but all original members quits band except jeff waters and i think jeff plays fast but he is not able to create memorable riffs, interludes etc. i like crystall ann so much but when i tried other albums i couldn't find any catchy intros, melodies,riffs like that. they're just bunch of fast thrash metal riffs.
The solo's in Don't Bother Me and No Zone blow my mind. Speed is also really hard to play, but mostly for picking - it's a shuffle, so playing it at, ha, speed, and with accuracy and clarity, is a real challenge for your picking hand.
great vid. learning and playing Disposable from start to finish without a break i recall as being painful. to have that as just one song in a set of a dozen or more songs playing live is just mind blowing to me. for folks who don't know that Decapitated song, check that out right now. every part is a work of art.
Yep. Even though it's a huge meme, it really captures the essence of early metal rhythm guitar (Sabbath, Priest, Etc). Drop Z-flat djentcore sounds like a far-cry from Children of the Grave, but all it's done is crank the emphasis on the rhythm up to 11.
Cool collection of riffs. I like that you only used down strokes for Set The World On Fire too. Great practice for down picking, which is really important to maintain for playing good rhythm guitar. Nice vid. The end of Deliverance by Opeth is also a great example of 0000.
This is hilarious because I try to explain to people why I'm a good guitar player who has been playing for 25 years, yet there is so much that I'm also inexplicably terrible at and this video perfectly encapsulates that. My picking hand (left for me) is soooo bad and stuff like this gives me so much trouble, but my hand can dance all over the fret board like nothing.
Even one of the new metallica songs 'if darkness had a son' starts off with just a 0-0-0 very slow riff but practicing timing and precision is very important something I see a lot of people neglecting
Gojira's L'Enfant Sauvage is also a great example as it is not just normal strumming but also a specific way of pulling the strings when you strum up. I'm a guitar teacher and I've found that a lot of even reasonably advanced students still struggle with the nuances in that riff.
Here's some more great examples of 0000 riffs: Grace - Devin Townsend By Your Command, outro riff - Also Devin Explosia, main riff - Gojira Chemical Warfare - Slayer
I enjoy videos like this, I've only been playing for a year so I would enjoy more riffs that are real good for practicing more right hand techniques, like string skipping and such. Nice video 👍
Agreed. I was stoked to see Spheres of Madness as an example because that's the same exact reason I started learning that song myself, right hand/alt pick improvement 😂 And yes the appreciation for and talent it takes to play clean tight rhythms should not be underestimated
It’s amazing you can take a guitar drop the low string down a touch and make beautiful riffs without pushing frets.. they all sound so good.. this kinda picking takes years of practice though
Fear Factory - Demanufacture, not really a 00000 riff but the song is really hard on the right hand pretty much every FF song is good for improving the right hand because DIno is a machine
As soon as I saw this video I thought “if eye of the beholder isn’t on here then this list is bunk”, thankfully you didn’t let me down! Such a great fuckin metal groove! Love listening to and playing it.
Thank you very much for this video! For the longest time I've been looking for a a full 800 gazillion string guitar course and now I gotta say this is the perfect and very insightfull guide for me
Chemical warfare would have been the best Slayer riff to show in this line up. Ghost of war is great but man chemical warfare has that swing. Great video.
Great video, great song selection, and nice clean playing! I was hoping to see Metropolis Pt. 1, but maybe next time if you do another video on this topic! Cheers!
Short history; someone stole my right hand, i search everywhere until i see that video-I found my hand ;) Greetings from Poland Ibrahim, as alwyas great content and great skills.
I started playing in 88. Being from BayAreA my first lesson was on double or alternate picking and down picking. Now my right hand is 2nd to none. Roll outta bed and play thrash classics
Before I watch the video three songs come to mind: she wolf by Megadeth, disposable hero and damage inc by Metallica. EDIT haha holy shit, those were the first two songs
I’m surprised that nobody has ever thought about including Molly Hatchet’s “Flirting With Disaster” in Metal, as David Hlubek was on record as saying they were closer to Metal than Southern Rock. (And the intro riff is constant 0 string!)
Both of the 0-0-0 riffs at the end of Periphery's Reptile are probably the hardest 0-0-0 riffs I've ever learned. The rhythms are so gnarly to wrap your head around, and the fact that they both use quadruplets instead of triplets just feels so wrong at first when you're coming from mostly triplet 0-0-0 riffs
