Anthrax Among the Living Guitar Lesson

Power Chords and down-strokes. That's 80's Anthrax in a nutshell. Warm up the picking hand on this one, but the fret hand has it pretty easy. Assume power chord position and hold! haha… Lots of fun to play tho!

Cool. I’m 48 years old, takes me back to 1988 in high school again when I bought the record.
Thanks.👍

Just saw anthrax yesterday at the hollywood palladium for their 40th anniversary tour and man they blew the house down, they have so many fun riffs to play on guitar and easy too with a little practice anyone can play the riffs, very good lesson

This song was my introduction to Anthrax. It’s so damn heavy.

Thanks champ

[@TheDunkinGaming]

Is that a custom badass distortion petal hooked up??? I personally have one. If anyone is looking for one with the same sound, here's the name. Custom Badass '78 distortion pedal.
Edit:Really great sound especially for this song

[@kostasdelis8921]

I have pain in the right arm when i am trying to plain this song.Very hard downpicking.

[@metalbryan101]

+Kostas Delis the pain goes away once you are warmed up... your stamina with songs like this and all fast down picking will come with practice. Stick with it!

[@scottbrady2301]

What effects are you using on the intro mate?

[@thedjentleman1662]

A lot of reverb I assume

[@anselm0124]

Your guitar tone is amazing! what amp and pickups do you use? please answer.

[@metalbryan101]

Thanks. Marshall amp... Boss GT-3 FX pedal... EMGs mostly. Some Seymour Duncans

[@anselm0124]

Can you tell me the exact pickup model? There are a lot of Seymour Duncans.

[@DanielFantini]

[@shiddyshid4890]

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

That intro is not correct.

[@teamatfort444]

whats the correct way

[@JadeDude1973]

This is how you play the 1st and 3rd repititions, but the 2nd and 4th are different. I'm trying to find someone who has it right. The tab version on Songsterr doesn't seem right either.
