He uses the pentatonic scale quite alot.

 

[TheScythed]

Alexi nowadays uses a lot of pentatonics, rapid major and minor scale runs and diminished sweeps.

Tips on starting practising scales? I've been thinking of doing that..

 

[GoofyMike]

I find that he uses three note per-string major and minor scales alot during the parts where he is shreading, so those will help you out

 

[iPot]

diminished sweeps.

Especially Living Dead Beat is one fucking diminished arpeggio fest.

Use variations in the rhythm (quarter notes, semiquavers, triplets....) and always with a metronome!

 

[SteveMCsteve]

I just run through the basic major, harmonic/melodic minor three notes per string patterns.

 

[charli]

why is metronome so important? and whats the correct way to practise with metronome?

 

[Necroraven]

why is metronome so important?

Because it helps you to play accurately and in rhythm.

 

[(__Joonas__)]

What is the PHP code and what is Metronome?

Ignore that it is in the box. Otherwise it wouldnt fit the board layout. If you have problem with it: Just copy it into a txt file.

[(__Joonas__)]

Ah ok thanks, I'll go thru that stuff..

EDIT I see, Metronome is a timer thing that keeps you in rhythm or something

 

[The Emptier]

O.O

Holy jesus.

You sir are and idiot

 

[(__Joonas__)]

O.O

Holy jesus.

You sir are and idiot

Yes, I honestly did not know what a metronome is.

You sir are about a meter tall, watch your tongue

 

[snowy]

wtf? I thought it was one of your bad jokes. And you didnt even google it? Or didnt you understand the wikipedia-article about it?

 

[<-Warheart->]

O.O

Holy jesus.

You sir are and idiot

Ooo, bad time to fuck up!

 

[Alachi]

It wasn't a joke?

Joonas have you been to school?

 

[charli]

Joonas have you been to school?

anyways.. whats the correct way of practising with a metronome? never really done it..

 

[Fret]

Really? You play along to the clicks. Like 2 notes per click, 3 notes per click, 4 notes per click depending on the rhythm you're doing.
