SHREDDERS OF METAL - Episode 2: Speed Kills with Alex Skolnick

Six contestants must perform the guitar solo of Testament's "Practise What You Preach" at ever-increasing speeds. One will be eliminated and 5 will continue in our quest for the Ultimate Shredder. Featuring special performance from Testament's own master shredder Alex Skolnick!
A six-episode digital series, SHREDDERS OF METAL is the first talent competition show dedicated to heavy metal music. Seven guitarists will showcase their shredding skills for a panel of three judges: ALEX SKOLNICK (TESTAMENT), DANIEL DEKAY (DIEMONDS, BANGERTV) and SAM DUNN (BANGER FILMS CO-FOUNDER). The series host is comedian BLAYNE SMITH.

[@Akherousia502]

Ah, yes, the contestants face the guitarist's natural predator: the metronome!

[@georgecolby7488]

Akherousia502 best advice I ever heard from Kerry King was to practice with a metronome, or at least practice tapping your feet while practicing. Solid advice, strong sense of rhythm is crucial, even for soloing.

[@Akherousia502]

I think the biggest issue is that most guitarists don't see the relationship between the two. Rhythm is present in leads, obviously, I mean I don't have to explain that because of course leads abide by the same rules of music theory and notation as anything else, but people seem to somehow see leads as being free-flow and ignoring the rules of notation and figure metronome related advice is either simply to prepare them for the studio, or solely for rhythm chops. If you want to be a consistent player, however, then regardless of your preference, the metronome's going to be your best friend. Sadly, players prefer to make it their enemy instead. It's not a coincidence that nearly every professional guitarist cites using a metronome as one of their most important tips, though.

It s a really good show, however, I don't like to rag on the guitarists, because it took balls to do what they did, but there are certainly much better guitarists out there. What this show highlights is what it takes to make it as a lead guitarist in metal. Just playing super fast will not cut it. The reason why Skolnick is such an amazing guitarist is he's melodic and not just a shred head.

In the first round I had her around the middle - her gate killed a lot of what she was playing, but if you've managed to gate too much (and I certainly have done so before), you can kinda hear what she was playing before the gate cut the sustain and some of the quiter notes. And what she was playing round 1 was pretty solid - though none of it was that fast.

Nah, the guy who went out first was definitely the worst though probably he would have played this particular challenge better than her.

Matt Murdock He does have skill. I just don't think any of the contestants here are "Shredder" level. To me they seem to be beginner to intermediate level metal guitarists, maybe two to three years in. "Shredder" is a term generally applied to a seasoned metal player or a prodigy. I just don't see any of that here.

Metronomes are boring AF though. I'd rather have a drum machine with a chord progression to practice over.

Guitarists that aren’t practicing with metronomes and chunk shredding technique are truly setting themselves back. As well as practicing and writing in multiple Time Signatures.

Alex: The only real musician on the panel. Sorry guys, but speed does kill, it kills anyone's brain who thinks that's what's most important, regardless of genre. Tonality comes first, then feel, then precision, then tone, then _lastly_ comes speed (is anyone gonna say Black Sabbath isn't metal? Never heard a really fast Sabbath song. Metal may be generally played faster than other genres, _but metal is still music,_ and the ability to play fast is not what makes something musical or not. I suppose you could argue my other points if you want to be silly, but without tonality, it can't even be considered music, period.

If you wanted this to be a true test, you should have only let them hear the metronome for the count-down and then make it only audible to the judges. Any schmuck can play in time with a metronome. What makes a great musician is keeping time when the metronome goes away.

i actually really enjoyed her solo on the episode. thought it contained by far the most original style and actual musical qualities, albeit nervous execution. (and i made allowances for the horrific sound coming out of that amps speakers- that would throw any player off). it didn't surprise me though that the most original guitarist was also the worst at imitation and playing someone else's stuff. usually how it goes. bummer to see her go, but it made sense.
