Chords for Metal Mechanics - Triplet Riffing, Melodic Sequencing

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Okay, so I thought it'd be cool here to include a couple of melodic sequences.
The first thing is I used all down picking at 120 beats per minute.
Previously mentioned, well I was talking about the fact that it gets to a certain point for me where my down picking just isn't good enough.
So you'll get to a point where you may have to switch to alternate, but that's okay.
You can actually use this as a stamina building exercise.
With the Guitar Pro transcription you should try it at 121st.
If it's too hard, slow it down a bit.
Or if it's too easy, speed it up a bit and still try to do down picking.
Because it's a great way to build up some stamina in the right hand.
Okay, so for the note choices we're based in the second position.
These notes are from the E natural minor scale or G major.
So you don't need to move your fingers anyway.
You should keep them first at the second fret and the other three should follow.
That way then you're not groping around and getting out of position.
_ Now the last bar is an interesting one.
I always find the more I speed this up I tend to vary it just naturally.
So you might have noticed in the faster example it was a little bit different to the slower example.
The slower example is exactly, or played exactly as I transcribe.
So if you are a stickler for perfection then you can go along with the slower example to look at that.
But the cool thing to do here is once you learn that you can then vary it up yourself.
So there are different ways of ending it as you'll discover the more you practice and play with it.
_ So the most difficult bit of this bit is the ending.
I was just mentioning that here which is this part. _ _ _ _
I tend to keep my first finger down.
_ _ Notice there I just did a variation there.
_ _ _ That first finger there and you can roll that between the fifth and the sixth string. _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Anyways, let's take a look at the full speed example.
120 beats per minute followed by the half speed example.
I'd recommend practicing along to that first just to get your bearings and then speed it up a bit.
