Play Number Thirteen because it's fun as hell and pretty easy once you get your speed up

rt4 posted:Megadeth, Judas Priest, Dethklok You forgot Iron Maiden. Plus Fear of the Dark is actually relatively easy to play outside of the solos. Also: Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax, Dio, Lamb of God, Slash, and tons of others depending on where you decide to draw the line between "metal" and "not metal".

I'd actually say Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are on the "hard rock" side of things, same with Slash and Velvet Revolver, while I'd say Pantera is on the metal side of things and I shouldn't have left them out! And Def Slayer. Dio, again, not really metal but hey, fun stuff.

Chalupa Joe posted:You what? Its splitting hairs either way. Really Rock - hard rock - metal - heavy metal forms like a continuum gradient and not so much a hard yes/no boolean. And then it forks out into all the sub-genres. They have a song called "Rainbow in the Dark"!  Not the most metal. Don't get me wrong I love Ronnie James Dio.

And Def Slayer. Dio, again, not really metal but hey, fun stuff. Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are both part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Judas Priest has some material that's on the fence (listen to 'Living After Midnight' vs 'Painkiller') since they did a lot of stuff in the mid/late 70s, prior to the NWoBHM. Regardless, they are unquestionably metal. Whether they're the exact sub-sub-sub-subgenre of metal you like or not is a different story. Meanwhile, most people would classify Motorhead as metal (and they're included in the NWOBHM by most people) but Lemmy says they're a "rock band" does not identify them with metal. Same goes for Linkin Park and Disturbed. They're both metal bands, just from a terrible sub-genre. Purists wouldn't include nu-metal or metalcore, though. And the guy who asked the question brought up a metalcore band as his inspiration, so all bets are off. Basically metal fans are loving weird.

I'm still mad that I can't control how fast the notes move or how spread apart they are in Rocksmith like in Stepmania or DDR. Rock and Folk songs work fine but fast hard rock or metal solos just flat out DO NOT work in Rocksmith unless you learn them from tabs first. Was playing Velvet Revolver's Slither, fun song, mostly pretty straightforward. But even knowing some of the solo already and being very familiar with Slash's style, I was basically guessing how to play the solo from listening to it and the appropriate key more than I was sight-reading it. The notes are just waaaaaay too dense to make sense of, in order to actually see the proper order you'd have to slow it down in riff repeater to literally 10%, which at that point you'd have to wait 50 seconds before the stupid loving riff repeater actually managed to get to the part you want to play. Why can't it just loop the one section over and over? Why does it always have to play an intro, even when its slowed down? loving stupid.

Yeah that's all I was saying. I would classify Motorhead as metal but I'm not about to argue with the Kilmeister! Part of the subjective differences I would guess would come from what a wide genre it is and how much its changed, you listen to Black Sabbath and its pretty hard but nothing shocking. But for its time it was really different and edgy. But now we've heard so much super hard modern metal the old stuff sounds different relatively.

I don't know how you'd classify Metallica covering King Diamond, but just play the Merciful Fate Melody CDLC. All Rocksmith sessions should end with that or Buckethead's Soothsayer. Eb endurance runs 4 lyfe. E: also acceptable is Sloe Gin and Be Careful with a Fool. Always back-to-back.

I'd be excited to learn some classical but the arrangements on the first pack were so corny they were hard to listen to. I guess they feel like they have to really rock it up.

Rondo alla Turca is the best song in Bachsmith 1 because it's not cheesy metal. That said... I'd be happy if Marche Funèbre is basically done like Candlemass' version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10LNTGsTIyY

SlimBrady posted:Bought and thoroughly pleased: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKe0MculyWI Hm, not particularly crazy about that Mozart arrangement. Its all slow and loungey. That's not symphony no. 40! Haha. The rest are pretty cool though, I'll probably pick this up. And its not like that's bad either, its just... way more surf rock than I was ready for. Nutcracker though fits perfectly, sounds like a TSO song. Hahaha and the can-can. That just makes me think of Lemmings

Gonna have to try and master the nutcracker medley by christmas so I can annoy my family with it. Ode to joy and the can can are fantastically fun to play as well. No stinkers in this pack IMO.

Man, taking a break for a bit then coming back is the loving worst. Even after 4 days, is about impossible to play the things I played easily before. At least practice comes back quickly though. How do you guys loosen up, or is it normal for everything beneath your elbows to feel like a thousand rubber bands are squeezing down on everything? EDIT: I also hate session mode missions.

Weird enough sometimes I take a few days off, come back, and my playing is way better. Like I had been practicing in my sleep or something. I just loosen up by playing easy jams. Things do feel a little stiff sometimes but whatever, have a drink and play some more. Unless it starts hurting.

Once you play a bunch you'll find you actually do better after breaks. When you're still new the basic muscle memory of 'how to play' hasn't really built up yet, but for me the basic stuff like 'finger shape like this' is so ingrained it never really goes away. When I take a short break and come back parts that were troubling before often click a bit better. Or my fingers go completely stupid and I couldn't play jingle bells. It's basically one or the other.

Trying some D'addario 10.5 strings, these are great. They are light enough to play bendy songs, but the high e string can scream now. The high e is usually pretty quiet with light strings so this owns.
