These are the 10 levels of Metal techniques that I think are essential for any guitarist looking to learn Metal riffs, from easiest to hardest. Follow me on Instagram!: / nandogilmetal
Man you’ve got a shitload of technique. You should do some guitar education videos here and there-us students of guitar would definitely appreciate that. Maybe do shorts that are educational like that Bernth guy does to save time editing. Thanks for reading my comment. You rock man!
@Aethereus69 thank you!! Was just thinking the exact same. Messengers is one of my top favorite albums and I'm not even a huge fan of those kind of tunes. Just something about that album man
First of all, GO PRS!!! Second of all, your playing is awesomely punctual. You're never late for the lick. It's actually a great piece of music IMO. And your picking game is sick dude. Go get famous lol
Loved this video. Good practice idea also, use a background track and practice improvisation along with incorporating different techniques and combinations of techniques. Surprisingly did help my practice on sweeps and tapping trying to replicate this video, even developed my own way of sweeping and tapping where I hide the pick in my hand and tap along the sweeping in a sorta legato way so thanks for the practice man!
Wow really fun to watch 10 levels. All really tasty riffs that just kept getting better as i watched. Ive replayed it about 5 times in a row now haha! What is the tuning?
@@NandoGilMetalPhrygian? Megadeth fan? They love Dorian, Aeolian, and Phrygian, especially during the Marty Friedman years. I don’t do modals, personally - I’m a drummer, lmao.
Aye I appreciate the compliment seriously 🙏🏼 but I’m an advanced player at best, still make a lot of mistakes and have room to grow 👍🏼👍🏼 Hopefully 1 day I will be one of the best guitarists in Metal! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal you know even the most experienced guitarist still make mistakes but those mistakes can come out as the best cords. I’d recommend recording your free plays and just listen to them, you might find your own tune ❤️
I used to have this exact problem when I started, trust me eventually your brain catches up and simply picks at the right angle and the pinch is louder. You'll gradually get more control over it and the harmonics will be way clearer and louder, just keep going at it!
Alternate picking is picking every notes up and down following a precise rythm and tremolo picking is the same but as fast as you can and without precise rythm
It’s impossible to gauge since everyone’s muscle memory and practice time is different 👍🏼 I would say don’t put a timer on it, and instead make sure to be able to play each Level clean and confidently before moving onto the next one 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
@@AzzyJijie you’re like me We both play nonstop but likely for the sake of fun not for the sake of practice yet we get our practice in by doing what we deem as fun
Yeah when tremelo picking you don’t really wanna dig in with the pick You only want the very end of the pick to be lightly hitting the string but not too light of course within no time you’ll have it down I’m perfect at tremelo picking tapping, alternative picking, pinch harmonics, natural harmonics, ect Recently got good at sweep picking too
Play slow one string melodys and alternate pick then, then do the tremolo motion (using the wrist is much better and faster, but forearm is fine and im a victim of it) and again start slow and speed up. Finnally chug chug tremolo and add to more advanced stuff. My fingers hurt

@@NandoGilMetalwhat's the song?
I was honestly expecting step 10 to be “Making money”😂😂😂
A Level that many will never reach in the genre 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼
Level: impossible 😂😂😂
The secret 11th step.
lol the truth is in the details.
can u plz shr the tone settings
The harmonics sound so good, distorted harmonics always sound good.
The more harmonics, the better! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Этот теплый ламповый звук, как говорят аудиофилы😂
Reminds me of Dimebag
@@JamesJones-sh9mdI was just about to comment this lol. Couldn’t agree more.
@@NandoGilMetalpinch harmonics with distortion may be the coolest thing I've ever heard/learned to do with a guitar.
Muting is the fundamental of metal riffing. The picking and harmonics were sick.
Agreed! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 and thank you 🔥

Somebody's been listening to a lot of gojira
And August Burns Red
Both kickass bands
@Aethereus69 thank you!! Was just thinking the exact same. Messengers is one of my top favorite albums and I'm not even a huge fan of those kind of tunes. Just something about that album man
I knew I was gonna find a comment about the similarity with Gojira
My favorite band of all time
More like 10 levels of Gojira 😂
Im hearing more a mix of Gojira and Lamb of God
Guy who has only heard Gojira, hearing something else: Getting a lot of 'Gojira' vibes from this...
@@OfficialErnestCriterion Well, he's doing a lot of things Gojira are widely known for doing often
@@OfficialErnestCriterion Well princess that would be because it does sound like Gojira.
Yeah, I liked Godzilla too, specially in that movie!
Interesting how the "easy" ones are the ones to dance to and have good time and the hard ones are to sit at the desk and analyse
Idk man, the hard ones were hype
It has always been like that, the majority likes easy, we're always the niche
Even if you'd never heard of metal, you end up loving metal after this clip.
Never knew I could be cativated by a short. This was awsome!
@@81Jonasd I really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
Dude, you have such a killer tone. I love it. You’re amazing.
Thank you seriously 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥
@@NandoGilMetal But, what is the name of this tone ?
it's crazy good.
I’m normally very cynical about this sort of thing …but.. this. Is. BRILLIANT!!!!!

Man that was CLEAN. Those harmonics… oh my.
Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
MAN i love the metal tecnics but didnt knew about their names, thanks a lot for this, now i can start training them
Stay consistent and you will be Level 10 in no time! 👍🏼
I'm not a guitar player but I sure do appreciate this. Thanks.

Level 10: ADHD in musical form.
Putting it right behind the subscribe button was a bit of an oversight eh?
😂😂😂 I promise you that was an accident… but maybe it’s a sign 👀
You're so fuckin awesome dude, that tone is sick as fuck.
@@davidblank420 I really appreciate that! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥
@@NandoGilMetal Could you set up a zoom patch? I use a Zoom G1xfour. Would be awesome to approximate that tone.
Dude this was so good…. Not to mention, I know that these videos don’t edit themselves.

Awesome!!! Love each and every one of those levels!
Nice playing! 🎸🤘

That PRS sounds amazing for metal.
I’ve got 2 PRS’s, I highly recommend them 👍🏼 Thanks for commenting! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Damn right it does
@@NandoGilMetal Awesome! Which PRS models do you possess if I may ask
Ugly guitars with good sound.

That's bad ass 🔥💪🎸🔥. And taught me something 🎸💪❤️💯🤟🤟🤟
That’s great! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I always love teaching people new guitar techniques! 🎸🔥
Forgot to mention the most important element: phrygian dominant
You know your scales! 🧠
@@NandoGilMetalPhrygian? Megadeth fan? They love Dorian, Aeolian, and Phrygian, especially during the Marty Friedman years.
I don’t do modals, personally - I’m a drummer, lmao.
Can confirm that pinch harmonics, sweeping and tapping are in fact DIFFICULT
@@NipplWizard Especially doing them cleanly and consistently! 🎸👍🏼
Bro that setup sounds so mf good. Love it
Definitely subbed.
Thank you!!!! 🙏🏼
I could never get to sweeping and it pisses me off so much
It’s absolutely the hardest thing to get down, I still make a lot of mistakes 👍🏼 Don’t give up 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal haha thanks man that's very nice of you! I might pick guitar back up cause of your kind words 🤘🏻
Same. Sweeping is the only thing I can't do here. I know the technique and whatnot, and a few triads that make it easier, but it's still annoying
Same here sweeping is difficult above all others.
I can alt pick really fast from low E to G then fingers don't want to cooperate past that point. It's like I get stuck on stupid or something lmao.
You my sir have the fingers of a god guitarist
Aye I appreciate the compliment seriously 🙏🏼 but I’m an advanced player at best, still make a lot of mistakes and have room to grow 👍🏼👍🏼 Hopefully 1 day I will be one of the best guitarists in Metal! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

@@damonhicks969 😂 We all start somewhere 🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼
Dope. I feel way more informed having watched this.
Kudos.❤
Man you're playing is so tight and awesome good job
The harmonic is hard bro.. I know well
I can't do the pinch harmonics and I am losing my mind......everytime I see a guide or someone explaining it never works....
Dont worry, everyone went thru that struggle just keep practicing and you will get it!!! Gain helps by de way
It’s just one of those things you have to figure out yourself, keep in mind you are using your own hand.
I used to have this exact problem when I started, trust me eventually your brain catches up and simply picks at the right angle and the pinch is louder. You'll gradually get more control over it and the harmonics will be way clearer and louder, just keep going at it!
I think of it like picking with your thumb if that helps at all
thats an amazing song right there
Thank you 🤘🏼🤘🏼
broooooooo, that tone is sweet
Literally can’t even see the captioning
This arrangement pleases my ear holes.. thanks champ ✨
Bro just described playing guitar
Based on these levels, can you name those songs where these techniques are present, or a song where there is everything at once? I want to practice
Yes pls
all 10 levels are great
@@IDCarlosC Thanks! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
8. Is definitely my favourite 👌
Nice dude
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Can you try this same thing with acoustic
Yea for sure, Harmonics and Sweeps become much more difficult on Acoustic though! 😬
@NandoGilMetal I'm just curious the outcome of the sound brother! 🤙
You skipped level one which is having a solid punchy attack when palm muting
That was fucking awesome brother
and jesse cash of erra does tapping and singing at the same time and that blows my mind
@@henrysanchez8820 He’s such a monster on guitar it’s ridiculous! 🎸
Sick
Thanks! 🔥
What's difference between alternate picking and tremolo picking
Alternate picking is picking every notes up and down following a precise rythm and tremolo picking is the same but as fast as you can and without precise rythm
dam what the hell have I've been playing? Must be doing something wrong. If it's not considered metal, then what category am I in lol
😂 You could be playing Hard Rock or Alternative Rock. Some genres can be confused with Metal, but don’t typically utilize all of these techniques 🎸
do u have Instagram?
@@germanv4611 Yes i do! 👍🏼 Under the same name as my UA-cam channel if you want to give me a Follow, I’d appreciate it! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal I just added ya. I got some music up there if can give me ur input and also what the hell kind of metal I'm playing lol
sick tune! love it
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Level 11: pressing record and not screwing it up
@@gavin_wer_customs6431 Couldn’t have said it better myself 🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼
where's the Gallop? God level?
I can tap and string skip but can't do pinch harmonics :') only accidentals...
I'm on the opposite end where I can do pinch harmonics, but can't tap or string skip :|
How many years do you estimate we will reach level 10?
It’s impossible to gauge since everyone’s muscle memory and practice time is different 👍🏼
I would say don’t put a timer on it, and instead make sure to be able to play each Level clean and confidently before moving onto the next one 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
Took me about 5-6 years. Should be a good ball park for you
5 years I’d say, I’ve been playing for like 7 years but it took me 5 to learn how to do that
Practicing only focus on 1 things you want to learn. Sweep picking took me for 2½ years to do clean... 5 hours a day😂
@@AzzyJijie you’re like me
We both play nonstop but likely for the sake of fun not for the sake of practice yet we get our practice in by doing what we deem as fun
Just realized the PRS is underutilized in metal. And bro... You fuckin rock
Subscribed the shit out of this channel. Outstanding work, my dude.
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I really appreciate that 🔥🔥🔥
I just can't do tremolo I am learning for over a year 😢
Work a lot with pick's tip. You will consume it fast
@@scolapastajoeilpittore2974 I bet
