      How to be a guitar normies
      Step 1 : think playing actual good metal riff will get you a girlfriend
      2 : try to learn it
      3 : fail or realise women are not interested by actual good musician and prefer to listen to poptard who can play 4 open G chord

  • @BretSnyderMusic
    @BretSnyderMusic  12 років тому +40

    The audio layers (background pieces, solos, etc.) are recorded using a multi-track recorder (Korg d32xd). After all of the audio is done, I use a video camera to "lipsync" all of the different audio layers (i.e. hit the play button on my recorder and play along with the song as the video records). Once I have all of the different media pieces (the song + 3 video recordings), I just take it all into Adobe Premiere and match up the audio from the 4 different layers so everything is in sync.

    The ride the lightning song had been kicking around for a long time before it was recorded. Mustaine did contribute to material that ended up on the RTL album, including the main riff to this song a variation of which is used on Wake up Dead, he did not write this solo though. You can hear the RTL riff here - ua-cam.com/video/3zCKVTE3t6o/v-deo.html

    if I practice this song, half the real speed every day, in how much time do you think I can play it full speed ?

    • @BretSnyderMusic
      @BretSnyderMusic  3 роки тому +2

      Everyone learns at a different pace. Some solos might take me a few days to play well and others have taken me months. I usually memorize the notes of a solo within a few days and typically start around 75% speed (50 for parts that are smoking fast). Try to build up speed in increments of 5% for each repetition. I'll usually build from 75% slowly up to ~90, and then reset it at 75 and rebuild back to 90 again. Rinse/repeat hundreds of times if necessary. Even when I feel I can comfortably play at 90% speed, I'll still kick it back to 75 and slowly add speed with each repetition. Every time I make it to my ~90 or ~100 goal, I'll reset the speed back to 75 and start over. The final 5-10% is the longest stretch and usually where I'll get stuck for a while until one session, everything just clicks.
      And then a few weeks go by and I forget how to play the solo.

    What software and hardware do you use to record your videos? I want to start recording too with multiple layers but I don't know what I should use. Do you just record the audio with your camera or do you have an extra microphone for example.
