    On your last point, don't be so certain. I thought the same thing roughly 15 yrs ago, and then the last couple of years happened to me. I've found myself shocked at the rate I've improved to the point I've found myself shedding tears of gratitude a few times over. It's literally saved my life.

    Dude plays the guitar like a maniac, looks tough as fuck, but wow. He's so thorough and sounds like a really nice guy. Loving this content

    Ray! The way you played through the modes back to back was great. I don’t think I’ve really noticed anybody just going through them back to back like that. It shows you quickly the flavors.

    Thank you for being so genuine during these videos. It is why I respect you and your opinions on different aspects of music and the guitar. It’s why I have watched you and Andertons everyday for the past 4 years. Your honesty is your strength… keep rocking and slaying your dream!

    I feel you 100% on the fret board memorization. It’s gotten me out of the “box”. On a side note 2 non Metallica songs that have helped me with down picking is COB Needled 24/7 and Tornado of Souls.

    That's the first time I saw you when you did that crazy riff and I now watch your channel

    A tip that skyrocket my skills is to play the modes in triads.. go up and down the scales in chords.. horizontal and vertical

    Hitting the books for sure I definitely have had to sit down and focus on the theory of what I'm writing

    Such a small world. I toured with those guys back in 2008 with The Warriors back when I was in The Banner.
    Been watching your videos for a bit now and had no idea.

    Loved the ascending and descending mode practice! Will def incorporate that into my routine! Thanks, Ray!

      Also would be super cool to hear more about your creative process, like do you record even the "bad" ideas/riffs you come up with? If so, do you ever come back to them and try to make them work or you're just always onto the next one? What's your writing process - do you have any template for writing etc.
      Cheers! And thanks again for the useful video! Big fan for years 🫶

    I like practicing by playing Ewon Dobsons song called "Time 2" on my electric and do the main riff on all strings accross but i also practice all modes to keep my taste buds fresh and not stuck on a single "sound"

    Do you have any recommendations for theory/scale/general guitar books????

    Thanks for the insights - very helpful! Also stoked to hear that the bangin’ riff so many of us loved will get made into a full song! It quite literally was a banger!

    Bud, it shows that you're doing your homework. I need to do the same. Been playing since '86 but I need to bust outta the rut lol! Your songwriting has gotten very good. You've become a really good player and I've enjoyed your channel!!

  • @thomascoolberth2648

    I've stumbled along the same method from some top teachers I've had. As an intermediate player, I'm struggling to find a song to practice to. It seems like everything that is a favorite is way beyond my skill level and I don't really want to set myself up for frustration.

  • @GregMerritt-ws8tq
    @GregMerritt-ws8tq 3 місяці тому

    I'd definitely classify that riff as a money riff without question. Top shelf creativity in multiple contexts. 😙👌

    In my opinion another good thing to practice is just to put some random metal drums or some backing track in whatever key and start improvising.

    I would add ear training too, I think its way more useful then theory in my opinion.

  • @jalapinya

    Are there any theory books/resources that you could recommend? I just started playing a couple months ago. Thanks bro, dig your music and your channel!

    Dig your style. You have great discipline. All I need is nu-metal, almost no practice and lots of fun playing along. The Dad life.

    So I’ve been a metal drummer for years, after disbanding and taking time off I’ve decided to pick up the guitar myself. What’s your thoughts on being a beginner but having experience being a drummer already.

    Writing is kinda like mining. How much slag do those mines produce for how much of whatever they're mining? Exactly
