EASY DEATH METAL PATTERNS

Tuning is Eb standard and the guitar used is a LTD Sammy Duet SD2

[@mortirperang1948]

String Size sir....?

[@DUNN..]

Ernie ball 9-46

[@GreyRock100]

Is there any particular reason for Eb standard? I'm not knocking it, it just seems like most folks just drop a whole step or, of course 5.5 steps these days lol

[@ilikethebandnirvana88]

what amp/interface did you use for this video?

[@DUNN..]

It’s what I grew up with lots of bands and players have used it. I’d say the main reason these days is my love for Slayer 🤘🏻

I’d definitely recommend learning an instrument, best decision I’ve ever made.

Bro, I've had some bad riffers block lately. Been ill (military injury that retired me and I've struggled with for nearly 20 years is progressing), lost my keyboards job with my Germany based band, tentative keyboard/effects job with Canadian band is now questionable. Have an unfinished war/death metal demo sitting for 5 or 6 years only needing lyrics/vocals/samples and I think my guitar partner needs to do his solos. My main band is on an extended hiatus since Covid with songs for a split on hold for vocals, but the other band replaced a vocalist and we are ahead of them as far ss recorded music. On top of it all, my new riffs for main group and a nedw doom project have been uninspired, but this video sorta snapped me out if it, I think! Was immediately inspired to try something new and picked up my Drop F 7-banger and my D Std10-stringer and some heavy stuff appeared. Gotta new subscriber here... thanks for the inspiration!!

Yea, its a really cool book. I originally heard of it many years ago from players like Buckethead, Shawn Lane,Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai and Pat Matheny! There is another one called" Beyond Slominsky someone wrote that is specifically for guitar! It is literally a encyclopedia of patterns that seem to fit very well with atonal death metal.@@DUNN..

[@DUNN..]

@joshuabeard1446 I’ll have to check it out thanks for the heads up. I’m starting to think how many more things do I have to teach and what’s the future of this channel because I’ve got very little theory training but lots of riff ideas 💡. I definitely can help beginner players but I’m second guessing the future of my format on KZbin

[@JoshuaBlakstormOfficial]

One thing I found to be quite useful is the good old Jazz Fake Book! It has like 625-650 standards in it. Many, many years ago I would pick a random page and extract the overall chord progression then mutate it in all the ways I could conjure up. Take a progression and arpeggiate the chords, add extensions to spice it up a bit, sweep pick unusual voicings, tap out the extended chord progressions, play them in odd time signatures, etc.... I did that with the Beatles complete scores throughout the years. All 227 songs! Having a lot of Major chords it made it interesting applying them to death metal. I came across a gerat number of riffs that were death metal but had a somewhat "happy" sound due to the chord quality. To me Morbid Angels-Heretic and some of Formulas had bright-major tonalities here and there which makes it an interesting contrast! Another cool thing is to take the jazz book and instead of playing the given chords, use the Grimoire scale book and apply a different scale to each chord and see what happens. I know recently Brett Stine published a extremely exhaustive and in-dept book on the analysis of Holdsworth that is definately worth checking out! Or, as you know simply picking up and playing without too much over thinking can produce satisfactory results as well lol I look forward to your future videos!@@DUNN..

[@DUNN..]

@@JoshuaBlakstormOfficial Damn!!! that’s extensive list of methods and thought out approaches and applications of your knowledge. My approach it’s definitely more ear and I search for patterns that for whatever reason I like depending on my mood that day .

Have any recommendations for headphone model ? And Audio interface... Tysm

[@DUNN..]

Any studio specific headphones from Beyer Dynamic or Sennheiser would work well . I started a focusrite Scarlet 2i2 and it worked well for me now I’m using a Antelope Audio Zen Go
