Every guild about Metal needs a forum about creating Metal music.
Basically this forum is about playing, learning, mastering and smashing guitars.
No musical talent? Bah! Anyone can learn, it takes commitment.
New to guitar? Good. Here I've included some tips.
Want to learn cool s**t? Ever better!
When I get this forum 100% up and running I'll include helpful videos
and cool guitar tabs for the lazy guitarist.

Post. Enjoy. Then post again.

C O O L _ T A B S

-reserved section for tabs-

Mario Overworld - Super Mario Brothers (Easy, takes some practice)
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd (Very Easy)
Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's (Very Easy)
Master of Puppets - Metallica (Medium)
Rainmaker - Iron Maiden (Hard)

Think you suck? Tired of relentless practicing and not learning much?

We'll you've come to the right place!
Here I will include easy to follow practices for improving finger strength
and memorizing important guitar notes, strings, and chords.

First of all, a short FAQ:

Q: How to read tabs?
A: Easy. Standard guitars come with 6 strings. From Top, string 6 (the really fat one)
E A D G B E
Now there are two E strings. The biggest, string 6, and the smallest one, string 1.
The best way to remember this, I s**t you not:

Every -string 6
Acid
Dealer
Gets
Busted
Eventually -string 1

a tab would be represented like so:

E -------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------
G -------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------
A -------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------

Reading from top to bottom, string 1 to string 6.

Numbers on a tab represent which fret the note is on.

E-----------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E--0--3--5----0--3--6--5---0--3--5--3--0---------

The 0's mean holding a fret is not required, an ''open'' string.
By the way, that's Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple.
The most beginner song there is.

-this post in progress, patience-


IF YOU SUCK:
Watch this.

If you are good but need riff / alternate picking practice:
Watch This

and bear with the lame jokes this instructor makes.

I hope to attract those in the guild who are still learning.

I mean, even a crappy guitarist can amuse and entertain their friends.
The Mario Theme, Nirvana songs, and basic Metal riffs aren't that hard to learn.

I also want to explain basic Guitar theory.

Guitar Hero has nothing to do with one's skill with guitar.
I know plenty who rock at guitar hero, suck at guitar.
and others who rock at guitar, but suck at guitar hero. xD

But it's a fun game either way.

I WANT FLYBAND

LOL BUT I R BETTAR THEN U

^_^

Kinda sucks though since I've been playing like, seven years.

Also.

Don't reply to my pickup ******** fanboy. Pfft.

Well I didn't want to post a forum for the pros only, that's unfair.
Not everyone is an Yngwie or a Buckethead xD

I breathe and eat guitar. cool

*guitar noob*
