[@travisdtouchdown]

This band....I Grew up on metal, learning All CoB, and so much more. Started focusing more on recording & other instruments. So guitar took a back seat as "I thought I was pretty good". Don't even listen to much modern metal anymore besides few acts. I know this band has already taken my favorite metal band spot & I've only listened to the album Relentless Mutation. I wanna savor it and know every line before I move on to any others. Learning this opening riff is brutal, and is getting me back into my guitar and metal in general so hard. Absolute phenomenal work from all members. A album worthy of cutting on and just listening with no distractions. I could rant for so long, ordering the anthology tab books and a f ton of merch asap. Please keep it up!

[@xanderi332]

There are two consecutive minor chords a half step away from each other in the symmetric diminished scale. That is the sound he is implying in the first part of that riff

[@TheoneandonlyTB135]

Yeah, obviously. I know what that means.

[@neonblack211]

Nice

[@muenchhausenmusic]

For my ears it's simply tonic (b) - dominant (F#) that's implied, and then going up a wholetone, that could either be the II chord (c# half-diminished) or dominant yet again (F# but only fifth and seventh) But when the chords are thinned out like this, with not all the notes of the triad there, ofc it often sounds a bit more ambiguous. But most importantly: It sounds fucking awesome :D

[@enj0i]

You know what's better? Playing it in drop A, so that your lowest B note is actually fretted. So the string skipping part from 7-7-5-3 turns into 7-5-3-1 if we are talking about the picked strings

I'd love to have a Skype lesson with you. I have been practicing hybrid picking and I think you would help me a lot.

[@Michael.Spackman]

Great picking practice this very hard to play cleanly at speed

[@GeorgeTsiros]

when you chugga chugga, or meedleymeddedeededdley, do you hold the pick lightly or tightly? I notice the strings move all over the place which makes me suspect you really choke it, but yeah i dunno. Personally i've found thin picks produce a lot of attack and no scrape but makes it harder to accurately (in time) let go of the string. I have to push until it's done. Fuck it i don't know what i'm on about...

[@DeanLamb]

Yes... What ARE you on about? :)

[@depshallburn]

Plz dont choke ur strings bro

[@GeorgeTsiros]

@@DeanLamb do you grip the pick tightly, or loose?

your diad if its root and a 3rd still can give the implication of a chord due to the 5th ringing out as an overtone.

[@youtuber4979]

why are u the best modern metal guitarist?

[@KyleMcMullan_Musician]

Just for a fun fact. The tri-tone was named the "Diabolus in Musica", the devil in music. However, this was not actually to say it was evil or wrong, but that it was a very difficult interval to sing, such as for a choir singing in church. So it wasn't that people couldn't perform it because weren't allowed to, but more that they often avoided it because it was hard. Adam Neeley has a good video on the history.

[@ianurbaitis]

[@DeanLamb]

Hey thanks!

[@botond6087]

Does anybody know some good practice routines/exercises for improving string skipping technique?

[@GameDevMadeEasy]

hubguitar.com/technique/string-skipping-exercises Basically, just take some basic chords and arpeggiate them. C major, G major, A minor, F major and E minor in root position. That's typically what I do for practice. Simple but effective as when you play them as arpeggios, you can do a lot of string skipping while still having something musical.

[@botond6087]

@@GameDevMadeEasy thanks man!

[@omarsharif927]

And this is why I love legato ...😆

[@sumtingwong665]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's a harmonic minor pattern, with the two minor chords. Starts off on the root, goes back to the major 7th, then goes from the root to the 2nd. Think I figured it out?

[@DeanLamb]

The 7 mode of harmonic minor is altered bb7. I suppose it could be just that, considering its only a diad not a full triad. You're probably right!

[@DeanLamb]

😬

[@n1w4]

I've seen on your playthroughs that you play almost everything with your pick angled upwards (slanting to tbe bass string side) and whilst trying it I felt like I had a huge amount more control over the strings, but had barely any power/speed. Did you find that you simply need to go back and build up new muscles to make the technique manageable or do I maybe need to look back at how I'm approaching the way I'm holding the pick?

[@DeanLamb]

The angle at which I hold the pick on that axis was never a consideration for me for speed. It felt comfortable and allowed me to get pinch harmonics easily. I wish I had more of an answer here, haha.

[@n1w4]

@@DeanLamb Fair enough, guess I just gotta go fast.

[@KyleFinneyPhotography]
