Thanks Jamie, totally noob to guitar but long time metalhead. Ive inherited an Ibanez RG and Line 6 Spider amp, so ill definitely be following your videos and getting some practice in. Please keep them coming ! Great job.
Great video! I'm not a beginner but really appreciate this. I've often thought about starting my own video series on beginner level metal guitar playing. I look forward to seeing what comes of this series.
Thanks for the video. I'm a beginner, just about 4 months into learning to play. Got some major problems - I'm going too deep with the pick into the strings, I'm picking the strings like "out of the guitar" instead of "into the guitar" and the attack is too poor, because I struggle with playing clean. And with the bad attack it's not like hitting the strings, but rubbing them instead and sound results in leaving the strings instead of hitting them... Difficult to explain, hope you got my idea. Would be amazing to have a video on these problems.
Like many people, I've watched more tutorials on UA-cam than i can remember. Some good, some not so....... Got to say your style of teaching is right up there with the best 🤘 ...and love your delivery style is awesome! As a newbie to guitar, i look forward to working my way through your videos. Thank you for taking the time to help us newbies 👍 Nice Schecter too. Just got a Demon 6 CRB today which, with your help, will soon sound badass!!!
Thanks for the lesson! Question: when alternate strumming power chords, do you change the angle of the pick for the up-strum compared to the downstrum? It just feels so weird to me when I hit the strings on the upward trajectory.
interesting and well covered. You might also talk about the pick's hangling, ie straight for downstrokes, slightly slanted for "double croche" (1/16 ?)
Brilliant explanation on palm muting and amp settings! Very helpful for beginners like me. I have a question.. it would be great if you can help. How does one connect a electric guitar to a multi effects pedal and then again to the amp? My doubt is that there is already gain option on the pedal and there is gain on the amp too. So how does this work?
+Jamie Oldfield yeah i always struggle with the palm muted e string and playing on the a string quickly. Songs like confined as i lay dying and like light to the flies. Can you please help me out with any tips man.
I see some songs palm mute on say the top string open and then don’t when playing a note and then back on the palm mute when the string is open how do u do that lifting ur hand if the bridge at speed
Just get a death metal/heavy metal boss/behringer pedal and plug it in. You do not need expensive gears in the beginning when learning to play it is all about to find your own sound too.
Hey bro can you do me a solid and make a royalty-free video with each note on the guitar? Ideally triplets full notes and doubles... with great quality!
hello, I have a stupid question, why is it that every one doing power chords F5, G5 or what ever, use's there pinky finger?? I don't get it. When you do a full major bar chord you put your third finger on the second string, pinky on the THIRD string and second finger on the 4th string. So when doing let's say an F5 why not use your third finger on that second string, it is used to being there anyway right?...hope you know what I mean....
@@JamieSlays that's what I thought but all the good players do it. It's weird that they ALL prefer the pinky vs the third finger. I want an answer damn it. lol for real name me just one...
@@JamieSlays ah ah aww that Kirk :) I wanna be cool and use the pinky like everyone else but it's like impossible, I have done it with my third finger all my life before I even had a computer so my brain or fingers just don't do it on auto pilot. I must really think about it.
Dope videos dude, but could you start to work with microphones because the guitar is loud (nice sound) but youre voice is kinda quiet when you talk. Keep it up with youre videos. Please show and name your hole guitar setups with humbuckers etc. that would be interesting. =)
I have a charvel amp with clean and distortion,and a fender strat what's a plectrum? I'm serious please help I want to learn with what I have for a long time please help thanks
If I have short hair I can't play Metal 😢 ?? Anyway, I want you to know your videos are very cool for the beginers like me ! Thanks you so much and continue in that way !
Shut up I am a bass player sometimes I like it to sound a lil muddy LOL Sometimes I say fuck it I'll just play my guitar through a pedal and my little peavey bass amp!! Check out escape the machine on my channel. Studio version coming soon...
Bro i need your help,im a huge as i lay dying fan but my biggest problem right now is trying to play that intro to confined with those open palm muted strings i dont know if there all dont strokes or alteernate picking...Its the part in metal im struggling with learning the most heres the tab im looking at would really appreciate your help!www.songsterr.com/a/wsa/as-i-lay-dying-confined-tab-s1671t0
What you don't need kids, are STRETCH piercings........They look ghastly, smell like shit and you will need an op to trim your lobes one day....... Other than that, he's not too far wrong ;)
Lol, I'm just tugging your chain dude, but my ex-Mrs had them. Not as big as yours, mind you, but they smelt awful and were not the best aphrodisiac, let me tell you!
I'm not planning on learning guitar! Just here to appreciate the talented people who already have!👏😊👍
Okay .. I'm a female and I can't grow a beard but I have everything else... Can I still metal ?
+Kimberly lewis yehhhhh totally 😊
Kimberly lewis You and I fornlife omg yes
.
.
I may be able to grow a beard but I still can't do a palm mute
sorry but no girls allowed
Long hair and a beard don't make for a metal guitarist.... Basically, a head of hair.... No thanks.
Thanks Jamie, totally noob to guitar but long time metalhead. Ive inherited an Ibanez RG and Line 6 Spider amp, so ill definitely be following your videos and getting some practice in. Please keep them coming ! Great job.
Thanks mate really appreciate it. If you have any requests let me know :)
been a drummer my whole life. just starting to play guitar. now subscribed. you explain this stuff nicely. excited to keep learning.
Great video! I'm not a beginner but really appreciate this. I've often thought about starting my own video series on beginner level metal guitar playing. I look forward to seeing what comes of this series.
Thanks mate. I really appreciate the feedback! I will be posting at least two new per month!
Wow, you actually made MG sound good. My hat's off to you.
I know!! Crazy isn’t it haha

Aww thanks mate. I cringe when I watch this video lol
@@JamieSlays Well, what makes you cringe got me to get my guitar out and have a go, rather than just watching tutorials, so be proud!
Thanks for the lesson! Question: when alternate strumming power chords, do you change the angle of the pick for the up-strum compared to the downstrum? It just feels so weird to me when I hit the strings on the upward trajectory.
Yeh. You loosen your grip a bit
interesting and well covered. You might also talk about the pick's hangling, ie straight for downstrokes, slightly slanted for "double croche" (1/16 ?)
I’m bald as and don’t have a guitar yet but am paying one off.
Thanks for the video ,subbed you.
Just saw that Maneki cat ,what a boss.
this is why i use inbuild drumkits as metronome in a way and play along on riffs
Finnaly an actual tutorial that has no bs in it 😂👍👍

You put the amp on clean channel if you use the distortion from your pedal
EXCELLENT HOW TO MEMORIZE THE FRET BOARD!! MY MAIN PROBLEM AND WHAT NOTE NAMES!!
PLAY BY EAR BUT COULD NOT TELL YOU WHAT NOT IM PLAYING
ive been playing on and off for a year and am a big fan of your videos man. Nice work
Aww thanks I appreciate it! Do you have any requests
+Jamie Oldfield yeah i always struggle with the palm muted e string and playing on the a string quickly. Songs like confined as i lay dying and like light to the flies. Can you please help me out with any tips man.
+Anthony Potter yeah. I down pick those riffs to figure out the proper action you need. Play it slow. Work your way up
fiemo de xxx
I see some songs palm mute on say the top string open and then don’t when playing a note and then back on the palm mute when the string is open how do u do that lifting ur hand if the bridge at speed
Nice tone.
thanks for showing the pedal setup, a lot of people don't do that
Thanks man. I appreciate it. Yeah I noticed people don't do that!
dude, could you please make a video about the most common used chords in metal?
Powerchords and octave shapes.. most common things
This is really helpful, thank you!
awesomeness
Great job on the video. I've been meaning to start learning some metal.
+Christian Andersen thanks! i will be doing more videos soon :D
any chance of doing some lessons on tapping please?
How do u palm mute the open string and then don’t when playing a note on the same string and then back to palm muting when playing at speed
I'll be watching thank you...
"For Beginners" Pedalboard ( with expensive pedals ) and D Standard tuning ... erm ... :D
I was just thinking the same thing
Just get a death metal/heavy metal boss/behringer pedal and plug it in. You do not need expensive gears in the beginning when learning to play it is all about to find your own sound too.
Great tutrial!!
Holy Cow , Thx . thats what i'm looking for .
Dennis Sbresny aww thanks!
Crisp, Monster, Pikaaaaaaachuuuuuuuuu ! \m/
Hey man, great video would love to see more similar stuff, could you post the tab for that riff at 3:20 ? Thanks!
Thanks! Love your shown emotion in your face :D
DUUUUUDEEE U R AMAZING GREETINGS FROM CHILEE
Hey bro can you do me a solid and make a royalty-free video with each note on the guitar? Ideally triplets full notes and doubles... with great quality!
Just subbed, really good informative videos man, keep up the good work :_)
Thanks :) I appreciate it
i dont have pedals yet, can i still be able to do metal?

Funny isn’t it. Just preference
@@JamieSlays that's what I thought but all the good players do it. It's weird that they ALL prefer the pinky vs the third finger. I want an answer damn it. lol for real name me just one...
HAha for me it’s random. Sometimes I’ll use my pinky sometimes ring. It’s just preference. I think Kirk hammett always uses pinky
@@JamieSlays ah ah aww that Kirk :) I wanna be cool and use the pinky like everyone else but it's like impossible, I have done it with my third finger all my life before I even had a computer so my brain or fingers just don't do it on auto pilot. I must really think about it.
6:45 The metal was too good
Dope videos dude, but could you start to work with microphones because the guitar is loud (nice sound) but youre voice is kinda quiet when you talk.
Keep it up with youre videos.
Please show and name your hole guitar setups with humbuckers etc. that would be interesting. =)
Cool. Thanks mate. Good suggestions!
Okay, Chinese fortune cat and Pikachu, Check!
I have a charvel amp with clean and distortion,and a fender strat what's a plectrum? I'm serious please help I want to learn with what I have for a long time please help thanks
Duck the Shreder I'm not sure if this is a joke >,< a plectrum is a guitar pick. The thing you hit the strings with
LMAO sorry I didn't know what the other word for pick was my bad is it possible to play metal with what I have?
+Duck the Shreder yeah man totally metal is all about the "attitude" ;D. Just turn the gain up to 11!
Jamie Oldfield thanks man alot going to subscribe!
Geeza crisp...
Let's play game, the first one who blinks loses.
+e.g. john e.g. smith wahhhhh I've already lost 😭
Dddaaammmmn I'm lost

If I have short hair I can't play Metal 😢 ??
Anyway, I want you to know your videos are very cool for the beginers like me ! Thanks you so much and continue in that way !
Thanks! Yea it's ok you don't have long hair ;)
I heard that Smells Like Teen Spirit whenever you tee you're guitar... You can't hide it from me
+Cancer Cure Funding pardon???
Beginner needs all those equipment?
Dammit!!! I have to wait a year for my body to give me a full beard
new sub here.. wow tnx man
Thanks :))))
I find that playing the skin flute is so much easier!
Is that a Dimebucker I see in the bridge? :D
+Christopher Saintmire yeahhhhhh
Nice I put one in my Fender Mustang with some of his strings and painted it all black and made a Dimestang :)
Actual lesson starts at 1:43. I have no idea why I’m watching this. I’ve been playing for 16 years.
But my amp only has 3 switches
Shut up I am a bass player sometimes I like it to sound a lil muddy LOL Sometimes I say fuck it I'll just play my guitar through a pedal and my little peavey bass amp!! Check out escape the machine on my channel. Studio version coming soon...

The ns-2 kills your tone
It sounds like a motorbike
For starters, you need at least 1000 euro for equipment xD
Can I still play metal without a beard and shirt?
?
You're giving lessons? I think you need them!
I do need lessons yeh. We are all learning everyday!
What you don't need kids, are STRETCH piercings........They look ghastly, smell like shit and you will need an op to trim your lobes one day....... Other than that, he's not too far wrong ;)
Unless you really want them. Then you can do what you like ;P
Lol, I'm just tugging your chain dude, but my ex-Mrs had them. Not as big as yours, mind you, but they smelt awful and were not the best aphrodisiac, let me tell you!
what happened to your EARS... GEEZ
Lol your guitar skill level is ok, but Jesus your practice Amps tone is pro as fuck and shreds!
+ALEX ALEXANDER thanks mate! Appreciate it. And you're ok too I guess ;D
I need Beard!? Does it go for woman too!? 😆😂
Haha yehhhh
Hopefully in your next video, you cleaned up your tone. Way to much treble, your tone has zero thickness to it.
+Renegade Smith I totally did ;P
just get a shit ton of tats and piercings...
shoot me. awful
