Episode 14 - Heavy song elements

Episode 13 - Hard, Fast, Heavy, Experimental

Piece of music (or something resembling it) written recently coming out of a strange part of my brain -- a part rushed and contrived, and needing tender love and care. What can I say? It's experimental...

"Purified" by Lamb of God

I'm not sure why I love this song so much, but I sat down, played along and captured it on my MacBook Pro the other day. It's just fun to play. In general, I usually can't stand cover videos uploaded by so many guitarists. They usually have the worst sound quality and are played horribly. But here I am, doing the same thing... Oh well.





If you'd like to see the tabs for this, or any other song you might be having trouble playing, I just decided, as I write this, that I'll take requests. Just send me an email to killtherob@gmail.com, and I'll tab out the songs, record them and upload them.

Episode 2 - Metal 101: Palm-muting, chugging riffs
