I just kinda want any advice on playing Metal, and composing it.

Like what are some good intervals to use and keys to play? I know Key of Eb is a good one. I don't know any good "metal-sounding" intervals.

Any techniques I should work on profusely? Pinch Harmonics and Palm Muting are the one's I'm getting pretty good at smile

Are there any others I should be worrying about too much?

I'm kinda working on Sweeping, and Hammer-ons. But Pull-offs are hard to do! Any advice on those?

xD I ask alot...!

It depends on what type of metal you want to play. Prog Metal takes alot of different aspects from the genre. Death Metal is very rhytmatic, Black and Doom metal is atmosphere driven.

Basicaly learn the modes and what makes them work. Also if you are going for prog, Power, Death, or Thrash Metal, it would be a good idea to get your lagato, Economy Picking, and Tapping into shape.

For composeing metal basicaly metal is driven by riffs, verses, and sometiems movements. String Riffs together but make shure they fit together and you should be fine.
