How the fuck did you get so good at tremolo picking...playing whole chords, switching between strings, switching tempos, all smooth as hell. Seen you guys live a couple times and it's like this the whole set, honestly a borderline athletic level of talent
@@taj334 well that’s not really the whole story, is it? While this style of playing is 100% characteristic of black metal, it’s not as though every black metal song or band plays this sort of all-out tremolo picking assault. Compare this to a play through of a Mayhem song and maybe you’ll see why so many people are impressed by the picking in this performance in particular
@@danielschiano2190 Yeah you are right, i was just having a bit of fun ;) I am trying to play this song as well and it takes a lot of practice. I would compare it playing Master of Puppets or Creeping Death. Those are songs that i used to play frequently, but if you dont practice as much you loose the ability to play it. Ontzieling is not technically impossible Tech-Death Song, but it takes a lot of practice. I respect wiegedood for combining the effort and sound quality.
The most disgusting thing about this video is the lead that comes in @ 2.50 that Levy plays that live and sings... the tremolo picking and left hand work is so fast it's mind boggling. I have got It down (sloppy) @ about 50% just have to keep playing it slow and tightening it up and I cannot fathom having to play that live and sing. Truly some the best right hand mechanics out there.
So you dont really seem to respond to comments actively, ill still ask: Currently attempting this but really struggling with the Stamina, even more impressive how much of it you do by wrist without much lower arm involvement. my question is if you boosted your stamina by using a specific type of pick and angle. Since i usually play more death and proggy stuff im mostly using small, thick picks and a relatively straight angle but already figured for this kind of style for 7 minutes using a sofer pick and more thrashy angle might make more sense
Been learning this recently, too. I use a fairly bendy, sharp pick, angled fairly aggressive with the edge facing the string and I rotate my forearm for the chord sections, I find you get more range of movement vs just using your wrist.
