as far as lessons go Id like to see a good sweep picking video cause I really want to learn how to I cant seem to get the rythm in my hands any tips????????
@TommittajaFIN Compared to Steve Vai, Kirk probably is crappy, but you can’t deny that Kirk is far more talented than the average guitarist today, and that he has been and still is a huge metal influence since the 80′s and the early years of Metallica.
@shadzzz441791
he does have some talent. a bit monotonic is the problem tho.
i’d take soulfulness over speed tho.
but since you can have both with practise, why the hell not? ;D
@TommittajaFIN Ah, monotony. The everyday musician’s greatest enemy.
And as Myles Kennedy once said, “People respond more to emotion than technicality.” Indeed, that remains true to today… somewhat… except for those fanboys that don’t know shit about guitar and take speed over slow soulful riffing anyday >:O
@metalliholic NOOOO you included both of them in the same sentence you penis! It’s:
Vai.
Hammett.
Not the same sentence.
Vai’s name deserves to be ABOVE the other guy’s name. Other guy is Hammett
@shadzzz441791
malmsteen? ;D MAB? …
fast can be soulful too.
well, atleast to SOME extent.
@TommittajaFIN Vai is probably the best at PROPERLY blending technicality and soul, in my opinion
@shadzzz441791 hahaha thanks for clearing that up, I fail!
@shadzzz441791
cool..
listen to the song “light of the moon” by him. it’s my favourite song all time. (atm) and you’ll see some fast legato for a second in the solo…
oh god that song is so good..
and we’ll dance in the silvery light of the moon…
@TommittajaFIN Indeed, that song is beauty in its purest form.
@nyqa We’ll get a life if you learn the English language. It’s “Kirk Hammett HAS written some….AND…so HAS Steve Vai.”. And I am pretty sure that guitarriffs is not a real word. Case in point, you suck at English, and Hammett sucks. These two things are facts and cannot be disputed.
@metalliholic why? Hammet took lessons from Joe Satriani, who is very close with Steve Vai and has played with him at g3 a few times. There I used them in a sentence that makes perfect sense and shows an admittedly loose connection between the two.
“…and Steve Vai uses it all over the place, too…”
@l0lercaust
sorry, but taking lessons from the same guy doesn’t mean much. it means there are going to be vague similarities, but in reality, kirk doesn’t even remotely sound like steve vai.
@shadzzz441791
“people respond more to emotion than technicality” and people respond even more to those who blend the 2. emotion is subjective anyways and MAB discovered at an early age that blazing fast speeds are a good way of getting attention. he admitted himself that speed is used for attention just as much as it is the music, or something along the lines of that.
@FeedMeForiAmATroll I know THAT, obviously your first statement is true, and I 100% agree that speed alone can be a good attention grabber. However, to MAINTAIN everyone’s attention with speed, you need to at least incorporate some sort of interesting melody in it, or else EVERY listener will become bored. It’s HOW the guitarist uses his speed.
@shadzzz441791
it depends on how fast you are. shawn lane could solo non-stop speed for 10 minutes and keep people’s attention, he was just that crazy. you could have been more specific though, i agree.
@metalliholic
yeah kirk is too good
don’t you mean Satriani style?
@Thedarkcountry Ha………….
@Thedarkcountry Ha……..
What gadget do you use to have this clear sound? I’m planning to buy something basic. I would really appreciate it if you could tell me.
Thanks.
as slow as hammets solos are: hes still a respectable guitarist
@BeefSupreme288 Speed doesn’t make a good guitarist. Creativity does.
@Thedarkcountry Ha ha……..
