I have a definition "Music is emotion expressed trough sound". Quote me on that!

[@SuperMegaGaelourde]

As a starting guitarist who likes to jam metal, that comment he replied to was so full of shit (If we're talking about the same meaning of feel). In metal, you're dealing with heavy gain and heavy distortion. So without palm muting, your notes are going to go on for a WHILE. If you're not giving those notes some inflection (feel/emotion), they'll sound like dog sh!t. You need to chose which notes to kill, whether you're going to kill them hard or soft, and the ones you keep alive will either have to stand on their own (which requires a bit of flavor) or they'll need to hang comfortably over the rest of the notes you play. So if anything, I'd say it takes WAY MORE feel, and WAY MORE emotion, people just have a hard time hearing it because yeah, it's harder, and a lot of if not most popular bands mute tf outta their guitars.

[@rokku87]

As a complete shred enthusiast it's hard to deny that when* a metal guitarist is asked to play with feeling they slow the fuck down. There is absolute utter value in taking your time in a guitar solo please people, don't forget.

[@BPLarvor1]

Quite. Taking 75% of the notes out to get the feels in rather concedes the point. More of this sort of thing!

[@khaiuschill310]

I think the absolute peak is a solo that mixes both. I think of curse of castle dragon.. the first couple of lines are slow with a bend or two.. then it’s just the beautiful fury of those runs. I guess it’s the contrast that’s beautiful (as long as there’s melody ofc) same with Technical difficulties, tender surrender, electric gypsy

[@NBLoc]

i like psychosocial solo

[@lathrin]

​@@khaiuschill310 the Budokan live solo for Hollow Years basically perfectly fits that

[@nst.pierre9800]

Yeah they slow down because they know a person that is saying that is expecting that they do some slow bends and such. A person that doesn't notice the emotion or feel in shredding as is won't aknowledge it unless they slow down(and people should slow down sometimes). But there is also plenty of emotion and feel in shredding solo's too. It all depends on the guitarist not to just speed through the pentatonic scales, arpeggio's and modes like a robot.

The reason Dime is and always will be my favorite guitarist is because when I was growing up I could hear what he was playing, yes, but I could feel it on a primal emotional level. There's many metal guitarists nowadays who play with that same soul. . . But Dime was my first, so he'll always be no.1 in my book. In addition you sir sound fantastic 👌 loving it.

[@LMajorDegs]

This Love, Floods, The Sleep, etc all make me emotional just listening to his guitar. I just started listening to pantera in January and I become a giant fan up to the point I started playing guitar again. Rip Dime

[@regsim7507]

it's not that you don't have feel or emotion. when your sound is saturated and sustained you have a limìted dynamic range. it's difficult to go quiet to loud. Volume knob adjustments help.

[@zaydacevedo9437]

Emotion really translates to dynamics going fast to slow loud to soft. To some people different things feel emotional. To some super slow 2 notes a measure doesn’t do anything for them and for some people sweeping arpeggios in a powerful chord progression feels more emotional. Emotion is about expression and what connects with different people

[@calebregondola1236]

As a Gospel/CCM/church musician I listen to metal because they bring more emotion, more grit and more technical expertise in the guitar.

I used to love Metal but then lost all interest. This was decades ago. The last great Metal band i really enjoyed was GnR, the original line up though. After that i found the heavier music lost it's appeal, meaning and emotion. It doesn't diminish the players skill though, which if good has to be respected. Also i think with age comes a calmness of the mind that doesn't need to expel aggression through music. I have Arthritis in my left hand, as a result i have lost my speed. Now a wicked Blues player.

[@richardcurtis1912]

Chris Poland’s playing on Megadeth’s - ‘Good Mourning/Black Friday’. ‘Good Mourning’ is about the best example of what it would sound like, if a guitar was crying that I can give anyone to listen too. Poland nails how to bring emotion out of a guitar and use a tremolo properly without all the wank and yank. The guitar drones like it’s sad Af. It’s a metal composition that’s full of emotion and when the solo takes off, it’s such a beautiful thing to hear. Chris Poland is so underrated as a player, it’s insulting and criminal that he hasn’t gotten more attention than he has after all these years. The players who know about him and respect him truly know what a great guitar player is though, that’s for sure!!

The thing is, speed is a technique, just like vibrato, bending, etc. All of these techniques are used to express a musical idea. Therefore, they all have “feel.” There’s more to soloing than shredding, sure, but there’s more to shredding than just the shredding too.

@@Alex.Schmitt_Do you know what guitar this is?

[@SaySomethingWorthHearing]

I think there's some validity to it as most metal guitarists seem to be more interested in showing us what they can do instead of creating a beautiful, melodic song within the song. Listen to the solo for Comfortably numb and then try to find the metal equivalent that captures as much emotion. I know there are some, but they are the exception. These differences are fine though. Some people want to drive a Bentley and some want a Lambo. I have immense respect for the skill level of many metal guitarists, but after about 5 minutes of Yngwie, I'm ready for some lead playing with some space between the notes and a melody that embodies the mood and emotion of the song. Nuno Bettencourt is someone who has huge chops, but understands the importance of melody and phrasing. There are TONS of guys who can play as fast or faster than him, but lack the ear and the restraint to build a solo that people will remember.

I strongly believe that guitarists today are better not only technically, but at playing with "feel", than guitarists 40 years ago.
