    How to play faster music on guitar like Megadeth without hand fatigue?

    I've started playing faster music pieces and it's hard on my hands to play fast pieces like "Holy Wars...The Punishment Due".

    Should I get Enslaved's Vertebrae album?

    Should I get Enslaved's Vertebrae album? I think the song The Watcher is great, but I didn't like the song Clouds much, do you think I should still get Vertebrae? If not that maybe Runn, Below The Lights, etc..? Because I clearly like Path to Venir and Havenless.

    What is the Ghost of Perdition? What does it mean?

    What is the Ghost of Perdition? What does it mean? I think the song Ghost of Perdition is great, but what is the Ghost of Perdition and what does it represent? I assume it's the Devil, but maybe this is tied in as a concept album? I've been wondering about this for a while and decided this...

    Has anyone learned any Nile on guitar before?

    I started learning Nile's The Blessed Dead on guitar today and I can tell already it's going to be a hard song to learn. It's got weird timing, fast riffing that's hard to recognize on the song, and more extended scaling, ie. going from frets numbered 2 all the way to 7 in a single riff. So has...
