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...

Episode 9 - Metal 101: Tremolo picking and thrash metal

Tremolo |ˈtreməˌlō| noun: A wavering effect in a musical tone, typically produced by rapid reiteration of a note... So, tremolo is fast picking. It's essential in modern metal guitar. I use it a lot in my riffs, and here's a thrash metal song and solo showing how to do it.

Use hard palm-mutes, pressing down on the open strings with your picking hand to slightly bend the open C notes sharp.

This gives the subtle impression that the first fret is being barred.
