Metalcore is a fucking awesome genre to get into if you wanna master a lot of techniques in the rock and metal side of things(and even a little jazz) Perfect for getting into fast soloing with some popular metalcore songs actually having some actually well-thought shredding that isnt what most boomers would call noodling. Also perfect for rhythm guitar as well as a lot of melodic stuff. Thats what got me into progressive shit.
I absolutely love seeing guys learning guitar go straight for metal. that is how I started and I think it's the best thing I did. I didn't start with no C chord and G chord stuff. I learned a whole lot of music theory now but I wish there were more people learning guitar with metal.
Absolutely agree. Even better if you pair it with learning acoustic classical alongside. That's what I did based on a friends recommendation and it helped me immensely.
No. That's why all metal sounds the same. Learn the theory so you can break the rules and be creative rather than playing the same chord progressions over and over.
I think it's good to learn a well-rounded assortment of music, it gives you more appreciation and room to experiment and discover, rather than "only learning metal" or "not learning metal at all", those extremes aren't all that great. Being open to learning and playing all sorts of different music makes you appreciate and enjoy it all a lot more. The "C chord and G chord stuff" for instance is already the basis for a lot of music people love and enjoy, completely dismissing it is just as bad as only learning that.

Dude, you're going to look back on this video when you're 30 and think "I've still got so far to go" in my experience. But you're killing it, making more progress than I have on my guitar-playing journey. Keep it up!
So nice to see a fellow black guitar player who's into the heavy shit. I wish I had documnented my progress just like you did, I have a couple of videos here and there, but not as many like you, in any case. Love your content, my man. Much love from Brazil.

Being a gateway genre has nothing to do with music quality. Of course death metal won't bring people into the genre because they're not used to the harsh vocals. They will need softer stuff to ease them into metal. That does not mean death and black metal are not miles better than any -core though
This was just what I needed to see today. Struggling with depression more than usual, seeing and hearing your progression is inspiring! I feel motivated to keep practicing and trying to improve.
Hey man idk if this is your situation at all but if you often find yourself scrolling on the phone or just wasting time on whatever make it so everytime u notice that u just pick up the guitar instead. I’ve played for 7 years but only the first 3 or so was I really progressing and learning & in just the past few months I’ve been playing a few hours a day and have gotten noticeably better! Pick songs that are a bit scary like for me rn it’s the master of puppets solo it looks scary but once you break the licks down slowly you’ll be shocked what you’re capable of. Also, something I heard forever ago that has helped me a lot is practice before u go to bed. I can’t tell u how many times I fumbled through a riff for hours only to wake up and play it perfect first try
The era of metalcore you like playing is so iconic man. I was one of the lucky kids to be in the scene and live through that and damn was it good. I do enjoy new age metalcore as well. Both are amazing.
You go my brother of metal!!! I'm only 5 months in and things are starting to wake up for me, but still have a very long ways to go. Never stop, guitar is forever.
Keep at it brother. As a self taught metal guitarist of 30+ years it heartens me to see this. I wish I had the tools available now when I was coming up.
You are a force to be reckoned with ! With 12+ years I feel like I'm only just getting started. The inspiration and motivation is there just need to break through a ceiling or two. You are awesome, keep it up!
This is really inspiring to see. You can see the progress, the breaking of bad playing habits, the improvement in fretting, picking, and technique. You've grown into a riffing beast, man!
I think your passion is WAY better than others. Not everyone can do like you even they got 10 years. And I am still surprised you plays the same genre in 10 years... No pop, No ballad, No blues... ONLY Metal. Your passion is tremendous🎉
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen on YT. I think it’s pretty cool that you had the same room for several years. That’s a good stable foundation in itself.
Sick dude. Being able to look back at your progress through the years must feel so great! I love your taste, this feels like the exact road I've been down with learning guitar. Tons of metalcore and just riffing! Keep going!
seeing this makes me wish i wasn't so inconsistent with playing. I wish I just stayed obsessed with music instead of doubting myself off and on over the years. Im 7 years in and nowhere near this kind of skill. But ima get back to the grind, nothing else in the world feels better than when you nail a riff
This makes me wish I could go back and learn from scratch again and not pick up on the bad habits from the start. Amazing job dude! Love watching guitar progression videos. So inspiring!
Thanks dude. I needed to see this today. Sometimes I get down and feel like I’m just going nowhere but seeing people who just kept doing the thing gives me hope that maybe one day I can get there too.
You're an inspiration bro. I wasnt seeing the progress and have been struggling to pick the guitar back up. This video gave me the drive to keep going. Rock on man.
You learned the same riffs that I learned. All classic, good feeling and just stress free. Nothing like guitar after a stressfull day. Your progress is much stronger than normal which clearly shows you never gave up and pushed yourself. Props to you dude!
This is sick. Unlike myself, you went straight to the heavy stuff. I started playing back in 2006, and spent almost 10 years jamming to classic rock before starting to learn stuff from bands like Pantera, Trivium, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, etc. My guitars haven't been in standard tuning since. I feel like If I'd dove into the things you were playing sooner, I'd be alot farther ahead than I am now.
I've been following you on TikTok for a couple years. I keep falling out of playing guitar, but 9 times out of 10 when i see a video of yours it prompts me to pick my guitar or bass back up. You rock! Keep them coming!
Just found your channel with this vid on my recommended feed. Awesome to see someone progress as you did. Hopefully many others will be inspired by this video to keep grinding and fighting through the sticky bits and continue shredding. I have messed around with guitar my entire life, but am just now starting to dive into the learning process and how to break down the more complicated riffs and leads. Watching your progression is definitely inspiration to get an interface and start recording. 👍
I respect the time and effort you put into developing your talent. I recognized a lot of the songs and it was kool to see you play them. Thank you for sharing.
I feel so guilty. Been playing for 10 years, and I'm barely equivalent to your 4 years level... Good practice is the most important thing ! Well done dude !
Fuck yeah, dude!!! What a journey, your material is extremely inspiring. That small bit about sweeping made me take a step back and try to learn it properly. Congrats on the kickass progress!
Dude this is awesome. I love seeing the progress of players. I’ve been playing self taught for about 3 and a half years. I’m definitely checking out your band and subscribing
Great job dude! It’s always fascinating seeing a timelapse of a person’s practice with any art form, but especially music. I’ve been saving up for an electric and I’m hoping to get one as a birthday gift to myself lol. Been playing acoustic for about a year and a half and there’s so many rock/metal songs I’ve been desperately wanting to play on electric. One of the best instruments in existence 🤘🏻
Hell Yeah! Good shit. People need to understand that NOTHING worth having comes easy, especially a skill. It takes so much time and dedication that no one sees. I applaud your hard work man
Insane to see how much you improved with the finger work on the fret board over time ! Good job man and unreal to see how your personality changed and came out more over the years
Hell yeah! i remember meeting you around 2016 and just seeing you progress so much in that time frame bring me joy and happiness. Keep doing what you're doing man! you're doing fantastic!
Bravo man, keep up the work. This is the shit people need to see to motivate them to keep on working and putting in the effort. I think people get discouraged who listen to this kinda music when they pick up the guitar and are like WHY DONT I SOUND LIKE THAT. It takes dedication to sound like the songs you listen to. Great video.
Even from the early stages, your picking technique was insanely clean and crisp. This progression is awesome and all the metalcore makes me want to get back into playing
DUUUUDE! When you started playing Holy Diver my neck hurt from the head banging! Amazing progression, amazing skills, amazing musical taste! Cheers to you and keep playing, shredding and learning! It never gets old :) thanks for igniting the spark to pick up my bass guitar again
This really makes me feel good about myself. Cause im at 10 months and im playing about as good as you where then. And ypur an absolute beast. Goves me hope that ill be where you are eventually
Bro be proud of yourself as I am of you!!! I can’t play at all and to see the progress is mind blowing!!!! Rock on my friend, God is good and so are you!!!!
You are a badass! I'm an "80's Rock Gods" era guy, I hope you study those guys. George Lynch, Randy Roads, Eddie Van Halen, Veto Bratta, Adrian Vandenburg...... Playing with emotion as much as speed. Rock on! You are proof that the sky is the limit!
I seriously started learning the guitar last year at 24. Late, I know, I unfortunately couldn't afford it as a child/teenager. I've hit a lot of roadblocks so far, one of which, very recently. But I'm here seeing someone that has a lot in common with me in those beginner days, one of those things being coming straight up guns blazing, no fucks given playing metal like there's no tomorrow. You, sir, reminded me that no matter what, consistency is key and I would like to thank you for that. Someday I'm going to be as good of a player as you are.
My situation is like yours except I'm 25. Looking for a pretty electric guitar that is left-handed is hard, so I ended up customizing it with the neck and pickups. I've always wrote poems in elementary school, but I feel like playing will help me compose.
Had to drop the Like and headbang when I saw in dying days, been devoting myself to that song for the past two weeks. I’ve been playing for nearly 2 years and I love to see this as I’m a self taught metalhead as well 🤘
Incredible, love all the self discipline and dedication to record your progression. Tells me a lot about about your character. Well done, and I’m not just complementing you on your ability but what we know as guitarist. All the research, it’s every single day all day. Without ever settling until you achieve the next level. Truly amazing talent, stay humble and it’s hard when in public because you get bored but that’s life. 😉
You went balls deep into metalcore, and that's fucking tight.
Metalcore teaches you how to really have fun and let loose while playing and I'll forever die on that hill
You guys have a list of essential skills to start playing metalcore? It's my favorite genre, kinda want to jump right in. Not learning no C chord 😂.
This is a good video idea

Man, you were a better rhythm player after 3 years than I am now after 6 and a half years😭
Practice to a metronome more and you'll get there faster than you think
@@BotsHateMe Either that, or take songs you like, slow them down, play until it's tight and comfortable for you, and speed them up one bpm at a time.
@@salatielfariasregis9156 that Methot works also for the drums just sayin
or make of GP5 your liege, if you practice a lot to a 'live' tab it pays dividents, trust me
Rhythm is so much fun to play, I could play for hours just jamming out some random chords on my sg.

I seriously started learning the guitar last year at 24. Late, I know, I unfortunately couldn't afford it as a child/teenager. I've hit a lot of roadblocks so far, one of which, very recently. But I'm here seeing someone that has a lot in common with me in those beginner days, one of those things being coming straight up guns blazing, no fucks given playing metal like there's no tomorrow. You, sir, reminded me that no matter what, consistency is key and I would like to thank you for that. Someday I'm going to be as good of a player as you are.
wrong im basically the same age as you but there is no such thing as starting too late its difficult yes and just dont give up.
My situation is like yours except I'm 25. Looking for a pretty electric guitar that is left-handed is hard, so I ended up customizing it with the neck and pickups. I've always wrote poems in elementary school, but I feel like playing will help me compose.
i run the @Templemusicacademy if you need any help!
I find myself envious of you, but i think you've inspired me to pick it back up, thanks man
Very cool to watch the start of a hobby turn into a big part of your life. Awesome shit.
Had to drop the Like and headbang when I saw in dying days, been devoting myself to that song for the past two weeks. I’ve been playing for nearly 2 years and I love to see this as I’m a self taught metalhead as well 🤘
Hell yeah man, you give inspiration to all of us newbies :D
10 years and we still out here playing master of puppets... I feel that poker face at the end
Incredible, love all the self discipline and dedication to record your progression. Tells me a lot about about your character. Well done, and I’m not just complementing you on your ability but what we know as guitarist. All the research, it’s every single day all day. Without ever settling until you achieve the next level. Truly amazing talent, stay humble and it’s hard when in public because you get bored but that’s life. 😉
wow the consistency and dedication is impressive man..truly an inspiration..rock on brother!
Amazing! After 30 years playing, I'm still trying to get to your 4 year level. Outstanding dedication, bravo.
You sir are absolutely fire
For a random video showing up in my feed, this was epic. Hell of a ride man.
Good job bro, that's really nice to see you're getting better and better! 😌👌
