does any one have tips form me to learn how to play heavy/death/thrash metal?

Well, I can't give you any tips personally, but I COULD reccomend some good bands of those genres whose playing style you might wanna study. :wink:
Oh, and, I'm assuming you mean on guitar? (eg. not bass or drums etc?)

alright, first bite the head of a squirrel. now, attach jumpers from a car battery to your nuts. now, jump into an ice fishing hole. and dont forget the MOST important step towards becoming good at thrash is kicking a puppy.

The first thing is designing a killer logo and a scary icon. That's the very first thing that metal bands do.

:rotfl:

You guys are crazy!

...but

You'll need some steel guitar picks, a big o' bottle o' brown whiskey, a pack of cigarettes and hot chick. :lol:

Seriously, if you want to do the old skool stuff like Megadeth, then you have your work cut out for you. If you want to play that braindead zombie rust metal... well, you should be able to master that in a couple o' weeks as long as you avoid bathing & stuff.

Dude... Steel guitar picks? Whiskey? No. That's country. :lol:
But seriously, I mean you CAN learn guitar with a certain style in mind, but you might just want to try taking up guitar as a kinda hobby and then once you're decent at it go into the style of music you want to play.

Yup. Now ,jokes apart: just begin playing. Play all night, all day. Play 24/7. Your style will develop on its own, heavily influenced on what you listen to. Then you can learn techniques used in Metal music, but I'd rather not focus myself on a style 'cause that's limiting. Just play the way you like.

I utterly suck at playing guitar but many people say that I have my own, personal style. That's what should be aimed, methinks. Don't try to play like James Hetfield, we already have one James Hetfield.

My two cents.

yep. agree 100%. you wanna get good? bring yourself to that level. practice. its like a video game man, exp youll get levels haha

but seriously, set a reasonable goal. find a song that some hot chick you know likes and then learn it and play it for her. that way you get doubly rewarded

Haha... Something only you'd give as totally serious advice. :wink:

You know studies have been done regarding water molocules and diff effects diff things cause in them, and heavy rock metal causes water to become greatly desturbed and grimy looking under a microscoop.... and fun fact, are bodies are made of 70% water.... I really speak against Metal rock any way, this just backs it up a lil... :wink:

BTW, metal picks and wisky have nothing to do with country, my grandpa sings country for a hobbie, I never seen him use a metal pick, may be wrong tho.. :roll:
