To me, blues is more of a feel and a vibe, rather than sitting there and saying, 'Well, I'm gonna play bluesy now.'
From Dimebag Darrell
I'm not a super blues player, but I was exposed to the Texas blues sound while I was growing up, and that definitely rubbed off on me.
Man, that first Leppard album really jams, and their original guitarist, Pete Willis, was a great player.
Glen Tipton and K.K. Downing are the gods of double-guitar axemanship.
The most common power chord in metal is the root/fifth, but root/third diads are also worth checking out.
Sometimes it's cool to play major third and minor third diads back-to-back, or a minor third followed by a root/fifth diad - whatever combo sounds good.
Each track has to be precise, and that is a problem on a rhythmically complex track like 'Slaughtered.'
I got food poisoning in Venezuela, and it sucked!
I try to do things in one take, but doubling rhythm parts is always difficult, especially if you want things to cut the way I want them to cut.
On our early demos, I was really frustrated with my recorded sound. I'd tell my dad, 'Dude, I want more 'cut' on my guitar - I want more treble.' And he'd say, 'Now, son, you don't want that. It'll hurt your ears.' But my dad just didn't understand.
