I'm just learning how to play guitar and am trying to play "I Am the Law".
My weakness is rhythm which makes playing Anthrax and most thrash tough...
I just have trouble hearing most "gallops" and have trouble getting those parts smooth.
the bigginning riff of I Am the Law goes something like this...
G|------||-----4--------|------------------||
D|-2-2--||--2--4---5----|-7---5-5-5----2-2-||
A|-2-2--||--2--2---5----|-7---5-5-5----2-2-||
E|-0-0--||--0------3----|-5---3-3-3----0-0-||
Those 3 G power chords in a row are played faster and some around there are muted for a nice "chug" sound.
Can someone explain how that is exactly played? As in are all three muted? Maybe some of the chords around them are also muted? Strumming pattern?
My ear just sucks for those kinds of things.
thanks
mike
