Just got my new Ibanez RG, just looking for some tips on playing metal-style guitar, especially on artificial harmonics, riffs, and solo stuff. What kind scales and arpeggios should I be looking at? I already asked about sweep picking, and I'm going to practice that. Thanks!
try the blues and the penatonic scales
I'd suggest learning some metal songs and analyzing how they use the techniques you have been working on.
Ozzy- "No More Tears" this song uses drop-d tuning and has lots of harmonic squeals
Megadeath- "Symphony of Destruction" the riff in this song is pretty easy and sounds pretty cool
Metallica- "Fade to Black" the lead parts and solo in this song aren't too incredibly fast and they stick to the E-minor scale for the most part
Dio- "Holy Diver" I love the solo in this song and the rhythm part is fun to play
if you don't have these songs, I use Seeqpod.com to listen to songs for free
Major/Minor Pentatonic scales
Dorian Mode
Dorian mode bases scales on minor chords, right?
-major/minor pentatonic scale
-natural harmonic scale
-learn pinch harmonics
-try some bullet for my valentine some of their songs are pretty easy =]
