    Forcing a groove into a post-hardcore/metalcore

    You can keep things simple and still be creative with the accenting. sure I hammer root notes we are a 3 piece and I feel I also function as the rythm guitar as my lead guitarlist lays down the hooks. but I vary my picking patterns as needed, most often based off the kick but we are more...

    Playing And Singing

    Here's an "exercise" to try. We used to play a game we called Whose song is it anyways? The band lays down a jam and you imrovise lyrics and singing over it. Start by just trying to build your vocal comort then add in bass in the jam and continue with singing. Worked for me back in the day.

    Playing And Singing

    Try writing your own songs. I found it easier to create my own beat and patterns when making new songs over tryin to learn to sing covers and duplicating the original. Also hate to say it but practice, practice and practice will get your there.
