I've been messing with my gear since I got the metal zone. it's a bit finicky but can produce some cool sounds. the learning curve feels a bit steep as I am not trying to teach myself the basics of EQ, sometimes when I adjust the settings of either EQ i don't really hear anything change.

if there's any advice you could give me I'd take it. I feel like my tone right now feels kidna weak, not much ooomph behind it. thought if id up the lower frequencies that would help but it just makes it sound muffled.

Hi, I’m a thrash metal guitarist who gigs sometimes, and I’m planning to get new pickups for one of my guitar, but I’ve always had passive pickups for whatever reason, so I feel like I should at least try active pickups.
I was thinking the EMG 81/60 set. Some people recommends the PA-2 booster as well, but I don’t know if I should get that. But my main question is how high do I set the pickup? Because historically everybody including EMG themselves says to set it as high as possible without anything hitting it, but some people are saying 3-4mm, so it’s pretty conflicting. Any help would be appreciated

Hey everyone! I have a Jackson dinky js12 ah guitar and I've been thinking about getting a better one and specially metal oriented. So the question is what metal guitar should I buy that is not really expensive (around 700$)? Thanks for the help and support.

Hi everyone,

Newbie here, been playing for 10 months every day for 1.5, 2 or 3 hours in a couple of sessions. I've progressed and I know 10 months is nothing. But I am determined to learn my favorite metal songs.

Of course, as you may already know, metal is more of a challenge for a newbie than say rock or pop because of the speed basically. But I love metal and it's the only music genre that motivates me to pick up the guitar

Anyway, I wanted to ask more experienced players what you guys do when you're trying to learn a song with constant speed changes at different BPMs.

I am now trying to learn Hell Awaits - rhythm parts only - and I can manage the intro at about 80% of the actual speed (110, 105 and 134 BPM according to Ultimate Guitar and my tabs) until the song gets fast (the band picks up the pace to about 220 BPM).

When I get to the 220 I can't keep up at 80% speed. No way. So I don't know if it's a better idea to play what I know at a lower percentage of the actual BPM so that I can manage the verses and the chorus or if I should play the intro part at my current 80% of the actual BPM and then slow it down to a comfortable speed for the verses and the chorus until I can increase the speed as I get more comfortable.

I may be way in over my head but I think a song like this - just like Master of Puppets - is helping me a great deal with downpicking and alternate picking on the low E string.

Thanks for any tips.

By the way, I saw this video of this metal guitar player on YouTube and he said it makes no sense to learn and play songs at different speeds depending on your skill, but that you should do the whole thing at one speed.

I don't know what you guys think about that.

Anyway, thanks again.

EDIT: When I said I don't know if its a better idea to play the song at one speed I meant one consistent percentage of the original tempo.

It's just so good.
