5 Unique Rock & Metal Guitar Techniques

[@MusicisWin]

What's the weirdest guitar technique you've ever seen? Working on a part 2 for clean sounds...

[@d.snowgoose3705]

Music is Win sweep picking lmao jk

[@derekhornsby5063]

dude!!!!! congrats on 800k subs!! the weirdest? um prolly lil' waynes "leather so soft" fingerpicking technique... its amazing

[@metalsnailptv1151]

bending either of the E strings enough for them to fall off the neck, that creates a nifty sound. Try it around the frets 10-12

[@ronaldothomejunior3702]

Edu Ardanuy has a kind of bend that the string is pulled from out of the instrument neck. It's crazy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3K1c2eGfJppmbc But be careful to not break the strings;)

Tom Morello is a big user of the "strum above the nut" technique. In combination with his Whammy pedal, the sound is ridiculously cool, and definitely an exclamation mark on his riffs.

[@patty.rick6]

Even better, touching the cable to your hand with wah, sounds so cool

[@Rick_Cleland]

He also used a pencil the same way Tyler used his whammy bar to hit the strings with.

Erik Feldmann Because they didn’t invent the technique. Megadeth, and various black metal bands all used it before them. They put it to good use though.

[@erikfeldmann5127]

@@RyanChaos.0 Yeah I'd not debate that, I was just under the impression that Gojira was kind of famous for implementing that technique. Leo from Frog Leap Studios even titles this technique the Gojira Guitar Slide in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5qwmYKnoLOoZ9k

[@brettmarlar4154]

On the last one it aslo helps to not have the trem springs in the back muted. Those springs greatly assist in the creation of that sound. I used to use a broken whammy bar on my acoustic guitar to emulate a sort of "Tom Morello DJ unplugged" effect. That and as a slide.

I worked at Music Villa last year, so that's pretty cool to see you're doing a clinic up there. Wish I could be there, but ill be doing shows with my band in Cali at that time.

Haha that one at 6:20 reminds me of rehearsal with a band I used to play in. Every once in a while the drummer enjoyed to annoy our bass player who was standing close (that rehearsal space was tiny) by slapping his strings with a stick as part of a fill. :D We even thought about making that into a live gag but we didn't acutally do it.

For the behind the nut pick scrape, you don't need a noise gate. You just need to keep your hands off the fretboard. If they're mute like that, they won't ring with the dirt tone of your amp.

I thought, "was he planting a tap??" ...and then, "it just doesn't seem neccesary..." And now, first thing this morning, my stream throws up your explanation. Perfect. Just this though...
