    An essential technique aspiring thrash metal guitarists must master is the ability to perform fast single-note riffs and power-chord figures using only downstrokes.
    Two classic examples immediately come to mind: Metallica's "Master of Puppets" and Megadeth's "Hanger 18," and there are, of course, many more great examples of relentless downpicked fury to be found in the world of metal.
    This month, I'd like to focus on the primary riffs I play on the opening track from Revocation's new self-titled release, "The Hive." The song is built from an array of primary riffs performed with fast consecutive downstrokes, combined with some tremolo picking and other very specific pick-hand techniques.
    To me, a relentless downstroke-driven pick attack is the only way to get certain riffs to jump out of the guitar with the aggressiveness necessary to make them sound as heavy and menacing as possible.

    Wow... Rare that I see a guitar with my personal preferences!
    Made in USA, Ebony Fingerboard, 7-strings, Passive Pickups and a Floyd!
    Amazing! Already like this guy and the video is just a few seconds in.

    I always liked the Jackson Warrior since I saw Trey from Morbid Angel play one and Paul Ryan. I wanted that to be my first guitar but I couldn't afford the one I wanted and they didn't have any other lower priced ones so I got an Ibanez RG, that I frankensteined with DiMarzio's. When I heard about Revocation years back. And saw David play one, I was like like yeah, I still really want it in my collection. Also a Randy signature, a V, a Kelly and maybe a 7 string soloist too :)
    -Oh the Ironbird from B.C. Rich is a sick body too that I love too. That's like my dream body shape. Still trying to collect a few RG's that are prestige and jems

    What tunimg is he in?

    • @Preussenpenner
      @Preussenpenner Před 10 lety

      Half Step Down , Bb Eb G# C# F# Bb Eb :) ( Low to High )

    • @ANGELT1994
      @ANGELT1994 Před 10 lety

      It would be Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb.

    • @SkodaATOM
      @SkodaATOM Před 10 lety

      ANGELT1994 if he is playing a 7 string half a step down, the aforementioned tuning is correct. If he is playing only a 6 string, you are correct. He is, however, playing a 7 string half a step down (Bb-Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-eb)

    • @ANGELT1994

      I didn't even notice he was playing a 7 string.
