Guitar Lessons For Newbies

Metal guitar playing has a rather different type of method compared to pop or rock or even blues. Guitars, the lead guitar and the rhythm must have a thick tone; the thickness of the texture of your guitar tone can only be achieved through proper use of chords. The thing with chords is, the more notes that you have in a note, the rougher it sounds with a large amount of distortion to it. And that is not good for metal people. Metal require a solid grinding distortion and most of the time, it only works with power chords. However, it will never hurt to experiment a little on this. There other chords that you could experiment with. Like for example, the triad chords, a combination of three notes. Common triad chords are G Major, C Major, G Minor and A Minor. These are the basic, and you are pretty familiar with these. Using these on metal music might be disastrous but with the right approach, you could create epic riffs. It’s all about when and where you would sneak it in. for example, you have this heavy power chord based riff, then try sneaking a triad chord briefly, it would sound great.
