Theo... wtf was that about? :wacko:
Don't worry about short fingers, look at that midget from Nile, Karl Sanders. I bet he can barely dial numbers on a public phone with those hands, yet he plays some of the most brutal technical stuff out there. :wacko:Quote:

Hey, you're right! I have this acoustic guitar (which is probably not tuned correctly and crap), and I've tried playing some stuff on it, but it's damned complicated...Quote:

You definitely should. My favourite track at the moment is the title-track.Quote:

Oh you lucky bastard! I saw that Morbid/Possessed demo LP on ebay sometime ago and it looked interesting. I don't have vinyl player either, I wish I did cuz I could buy a ton of old metal records for real cheap at a friend's dad's shop.Quote:

The first month or two you'll spend it building strength into your fingers and hands, but then playing anything even if it has lots of chord changes will become easier and easier.
Start of with acoustic intros and Metallica songs and Nirvana, like everyone does. :wacko: Also some Black Sabbath, and when you feel comfortable enough try some Iron Maiden. One of the first songs I learned was "Withstand the Fall of Time" by Immortal, about like 3 months into my playing. Mid-paced Slayer songs are also suffieciently easy for a beginner, another one of the first ones I learned was "Mandatory Suicide".
Play Megadeth - Tornado of Souls, quite easy to play
Edit: Anyone want to give me some Vader tabs :D
Really? I'm having loads of trouble playing it on my classical. Don't know how easier it is on an electric, but it can't be THAT easy?Quote:

Dunno. :wacko: But the tab I have goes like this:
----------------------------|--------------------------|
----------------------------|--------------------------|
----------------------------|--------------------9-----|
----------------------------|--------7-----9p-7--------|
--------------7h8-7------7--|--8h-9-----9--------------|
----7--9--10---------10-----|-----------------------7--|
Ok that's the same as mine..... try on the electric then
I got my friend to play Hallowed be thy name's main riff.
It was bad ass.
Head over to MetalTabs.com, lots of good tabs there for Vader songs. Are you enjoying the whammy on your guitar yet? :P Just drop your tuning to D and you'll be able to play any Death, Children of Bodom, Decrepit Birth, Necrophagist, Wintersun, Vader, and Decapitated song(except those on "The Negation", which are an additional 1/2 step down from D. That tuning is called C# and is used by Hate Eternal, Suffocation, Krisiun, and Behemoth on "Demigod"). Just to name a few. :PQuote:

Playing on acoustics is for the most part slightly harder than electrics, because the string height on electrics can be adjusted real low and electrics are more sensetive to your playing, not to mention that strings on electrics needn't be real thick(unless your like me, and you play with bass-like strings :P).
Tornado of Souls was a bitch to learn at first, cuz you have to learn how to hammer-on quickly and the main riff might require a little too much position changing for a beginner.
I might record that song along with others later today, but please excuse me if it sounds way too br00t3l, I have my guitar all the way down to B and Drop-A(I'm alternating these two tunings), which are used by Amon Amarth/Wormed and Nile, respectively. :wacko:

And I like to play things with alot of distortion, like Trigger for instance.
What do you mean by "over a bar"?Quote:

Does anybody else have trouble with Metal Archives? I can't stand it that I can't get into it anymore! I've only been there twice in the past week :shrug:
Yep metal archives is down. The owner has gotta pay his bill and it'll be back up...
