I wonder how tired this hard-on bearer got while trying to play this song.. I don't even understand how he is picking like that, using his whole fucking arm, what a huge waste of energy. :huh: :frown:

Yeah it's fairly bad, can't say my technique is that much better to be fair, but he's over picking a heck of alot.



The part where he does the 'doublets' as it states, his arm looks locked up tighter than a nun's cunt. These things are easy as fuck to do, you don't need to attack the strings like that.

no doubt, you can get a really chunky sound without much effort with the right technique, no reason to tense up at all.

I pick at the elbow as well, but no, I don't tense my whole fucking arm up either. Christ, the dude's arm looks like it's about to explode. :huh: :mmno: :frown:

His wrist is solid like a piece of 2x4. Almost everything I do on tr00ms or guitar is in the wrist so I dunno. He should stop that.

indeed, he needs to use his wrist a lot more, not just his forearm which can cause too much stress on your muscles. Also fucks with the feeling and sound of your playing :frown:

have you guys ever seen jeff hanemen of slayer play? he's even worse, but i saw him play live and he thrashed the hole way. i'm the same way cause i just can't get my wrist and fingers to move that fast. trey is quite possibly the greatest at it.

I think where people go wrong is by sticking to one position/technique.If you use several different methods nothing is hard to play rythem wise.
