Its no fun if not played with rage.

Also, you can play it any way. I find it more comfortable playing it with down strokes. Also, it sounds better.

Me too noticed that in the chorus riff you play only downstokes like strumming an accoustic guitar...it seemed like you were putting a lot of effort there..

Is actually rage. :p

I prefer down strokes for slow to medium tempo songs. As the song gets faster, then I use up-down.

But down strokes is a good skill to have. Master Of Puppets intro is actually fully down strokes, but I play it using alternate picking since it's too fast for me to play with down strokes.

Tl;Dr Technique does not matter as long as the chord sounds perfectly.

and I've finally achieved .01% of the 10000 hour rule. Trying to get the starting riff to final countdown right, unfortunately my fingers just cant move that fast between the E and B strings. Suggest some ways to get better at this

Also have knights of cynodia on loop these days, what an amazingly hard song to do

so I got the PC version, for the sake of customs. PS3 version can take a rest as I now have way more songs to play and build up my stats and compare them.

you can try out customsforge, you'll have to register to download the customs though.
[MENTION=85950]Gollum[/MENTION], finally you started playing customs, what songs are you giving a shot?

RIP Eb string
I broke my first string today while tuning. Well they were getting pretty old now.
Anyone have a good suggestion for strings and brands. I like to do a lot of bending an vibrato on the guitar with E standard tuning

I have been using D'Addario strings on my acoustic and electric forever. Damn things refuse to break! Also make sure you get the right gauge- Extra light or light for standard tuning and medium/heavy for dropped tunings. Other good brands are GHS, Ernie Ball and Dunlop.

I was speaking about the Titanium ones, i think those ones cost around 1100, I think. But regular ernie balls are good too.

But I don't own any Ernie Balls yet. I currently use d'Addario Pro Steels.

Okay this might be a very noob question . But If a person who has no knowledge of guitar buys a random guitar from store , out of excitement ( Which unfortunately is the case with my sister) . How long can it take to learn some amateur level music from youtube and other software ?
