Opening Deilverance Riff Question

[exscape]

Umm. Could anyone post a (short) tab of which riff you're talking about? (Yeah, there is more than one guitar in the intro)

I haven't had any trouble whatsoever with that riff, and I'm a bad guitar player. No, really, I'm new... We can't be thinking about the same riff

Edit: Hmm after re-reading I guess you mean the faster one after all. As if the chorus-y riff isn't dissonant enough

But wait, is he talking about Mike's part or Peter's tritone powerchord?

 

[opeth_353]

I definitely play the rhythm guitar part all downstrokes, lends to the power of the riff.. But the lead guitar bits over the top i alternate pick.

 

[Lachybob]

I tend to downpick the whole thing (both rythem and lead parts)

 

[lost_within]

If it's peter's part then it looks like he's doing it all downstrokes, but I personally find it so much easier to alternate. Is everyone talking about the low E, A sharp, E chord??

 

[Metalstrm]

The diminished 5th chord yes.

 

[serenity_painted_death27]

Wouldn't a diminished fifth chord need a third as well?

If it's just two notes, it's not really a chord as such.

Edit: Ignore me, I don't know what I'm talking about,

 

[Metalstrm]

I meant the chord with the diminished 5th interval rather than the diminished 5th chord. Anyway, I usually just play 1, 5b, octave or the 5b interval only.
