Jon Stockman, and Justin Chancellor are playing some really neat and new stuff live.

Here you go! Invalid Link Removed

It's personal preference. If the drummer is good enough to play consistently to a click, I'd take it out of my monitor.

Can you post a clip of it? That would make it easier to help you.

A safe bet is substituting chords with the same function. You can change tonic for tonic, subdominant for subdominant and dominant for dominant.

Ahh, I feel you. I misinterpreted what you said entirely. And getting chops is all about putting in a ton of time at it. That's what it comes down to. Alex Webster has been melting faces for decades, it's hard to reach that level without that work. Having said that, here's what I do to work that...

Nice work, 16ths at 100bpm for a solid 30 seconds is worth being proud of. I'm going to go off the assumption that 100bpm for 30 seconds is a bit of an endurance challenge? The way that I train myself to do faster 16ths is using what are called ramps. The basic idea is that you'll start at a...

Hahaha good call, I meant to write 2 dotted quarters and 2 quarters.

Not to mention that most of the time 5 is divided into 2 dotted quarter notes and two quarter notes.

If you want Cannibal Corpse level chops, why haven't you bought Alex Webster's book? Also, what's the fastest speed you can do clean 16ths at? I've spent a lot of time developing three-fingered chops for the current band I'm in, and I'd be more than happy to help you out. I don't want to be...

Lol people make modes seem super complicated; they're not. Think of the major scale as being numbered 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. The modes are just playing those same notes, but starting on a different note, instead of 1-7. The dorian mode is 2-1, phrygian is 3-2, Lydian is 4-3, mixolydian is 5-4, aeolian...

What do you mean, "Desire to be right"? There's no desire here, I'm always right.

Not until I'm playing Wembley.

I always play with three fingers. For gallops, if it's a 16th/16th/8th pattern I go ring-middle-index. For an 8th/16th/16th pattern I got index-ring-middle. But no matter what fingering your using, make sure you get even consistent strokes with your fingers so you don't over-accent any notes by...

Learn to sing, it's the best ear training there is.
