What really grinds my gears - episode 1 - Top 10 things metal guitarists are doing wrong.
#1: Using a Fret Wrap to cover up Bad Technique
#2: Not Enough focus on rhythm playing
#3: Wowing people with technique rather than writing a song
#4: Using multiple noise gates to hide fundamental problems
#5: Playing with too much gain
#6: The lack of James Hetfield appreciation
#7: Not playing to a metronome
#8: Not recording yourselves to critically analyze your playing.
#9: Progressive metal means to progress. Writing a riff salad is not progressive
#10: We believe we are better than we actually are

but music is a subjective artform. similar to burping or farting its all subjective. what makes you think you can define standards? you're so full of yourself. shut the fuck up and play
lol
if its subjective then he can state his opinion
@@flufficornss standards aren't an opinion everybody shares a standard each individual has opinions
@@truescotsman4103 wah wah i do one of the things he said and im angry
@@truescotsman4103 all of his "Standards" were him explaining things that will set you back and if you properly explore them you'll get better
This is the first "TOP 10 THINGS YOUR DOING WRONG" ive seen which is actually helpfull.
You're using the wrong your lulz
your down picking offends me everytime
Is it some sort of sickness?
when I saw it live it was a literal blur..
@@RustyShackleford-bc9ce clean your ears
JB's down picking is against geneva code , it's nuclear .
Loving the consistent uploads man
Seconded
nice meme
so focking much truth in a single video, amazing
On the money with the JH appreciation mate
Thanks for checking this out guys! I will do more of these style videos in the future.
thank you! I live by all of these rules and am glad you said it!!
Brilliant idea 👌 more, more, more
Can you make a tutorial on how hungry you gotta be to pull those metal as fuck burps?
I have a million dollar idea that’s going to start a wave of new shitty metal bands
No just kidding, you’re the shit John!
In the late 1980's I had been playing guitar fanatically for just over 2 years, averaging 4 to 8 hours a day. I was already playing the entire Rising Force album beginning to end, as well as tons of Randy Rhoads, Vivian Campbell, Micheal Schenker, Blackmore, Iommi, and was ready to show the world.
I was asked to join a local band for an upcoming gig, but they'd just lost their bassist. I knew these guys, and I was ready to be asked to play lead, because I knew, and they knew, I played circles around them at the music stores.
I walked in, saw and heard two guys downpicking Master, and about 5 other songs. ALL of the songs were at tempo or way above album tempo. Every song was super tight together, every note was crisp, clean, crushing tone, and had the proper dynamics relative to all the others. THEY were setting tempo for the drummer.
Song number seven, an original song, mostly downpicked and FAST, I smiled, thought to myself, "this could be a lot of fun," grabbed the Fender P-bass waiting on the stand, and loved it!
To this day I can still play lead guitar, and guitar solos, better than either of those gtwo guys can, and they would be the first to admit it, but I will always be playing bass when the three of us Jam because there's just something about that feel and that tone, really precisely played, with power and yet feel , and when the song calls for it a fast ike a couple jackhammers pounding on your forehead and chest when down picking metal riffs properly. And we get together to play songs, to play music, not to diddle or stroke ego, and the songs were stronger with those two guys playing The rhythms ... and I became a pretty decent bass player in my own right, so they tell me.
Thanks I've been trying to down pick master of puppets recently. This video helped me alot
Man I gotta say anxiety hit me hard first as i was expecting 9/10 of it hits me hard. Some did a bit. But hey, I’m on my way.
Guys it’s ok if we suck. It’s just not ok if we don’t really try to change that.
"Riff Salad" is my new favourite term.
Number 6 man, thanks for number 6
This is soooooo true, I learned downstrokes just playing master of puppets and creeping death, both songs are metal school
Metal Post Malone tells you how it is
😂😂😂 for real
Extremely informative and straight to the point! Didn’t take a 15 minute video and nailed it in just over 6! Thank u for the sound advice i am down with learning from other people’s mistakes 😉
Been recording videos and covers for the past two years and have to say my rhythm playing has become a lot tighter because of it. I find it much easier to double track these days. I've also learnt how sloppy my playing was as well. Record yourselves people! You can nail practising your rhythm playing, to a metronome and then critically analyse it all in one go.
Absolutely love this video. The camera shifts make it look like some super serious program on current affairs and news reports. Like, 60 minutes or something - sorry i'm in Australia, not sure what other countries have haha.
I'm actually a bit of a Hetfield, all I did for the first 10 years of playing was down pick like a mad man, got it super tight, fast, great attack, and can play many riffs that people would alternate pick... That also has it's bad side as I had to spend the next 5 years+ alternate picking, in turn my lead work is shithouse in comparison and occasionally come across a riff that doesn't seem that difficult but genuinely can't be down picked, so it's a bit awkward. Learn every aspect peeps, even the ones that make you feel uncomfortable or you struggle with!
For real, you always gotta diversify your technique or you’ll confine yourself big time
So much raw truth behind everything you said. Loving the more consistent updates on the channel. You've definitely been one of the inspirational guitarists for me since I've discovered Monuments a couple years ago. Keep crushing man!
Thanks for making this video man! This is actually very motivating to hear and just what I needed to keep pushing me to get better. I am taking it as a top ten list of things to do to improve. Cheers!
Appreciate you doing these vids man.
That video he did with that 6 string with the 7 and 8 in the background was 🔥
Excellent and well thought out. I see a great amount of integrity in this video. First one I've watched, I'll be going through your all your vids now. Thanks!
This is one of the most nail-on-the-head videos I've seen in a long, long time. Agreed with every single point made! I can't wait for more of these videos.
This was a fantastic video. Straight to the point and inspirational. Thank you for all of these tips!
Love what you’re doing JB! Been following your old channel since the Danza covers. Greeting from Texas
Dude I love this! And have always loved all your work!!! ❤️ keep the content coming!!! 🤘🤘
Great advice, Thank you Mr.Browne.
Loved the whole video.... I think that putting these 10 things into practice will definitely make anyone a better guitar player! Thank you so much for the content Browne! Loving the new uploads!
Much love from Barcelona!
Awesome tips man! I really appreciate them! I’ve just ick back up the guitar after a few years and I needed to hear this! Much love man! 🤘🏻💚
Hahah I’m deff all about having several noise gates 🙌🏻. Love the vid bro 👊
Great video. Straight forward and all valid points. I need to play the guitar now. Thanks 👍
Please make more videos like this.
These tips are very useful.
Killer video. Love the honesty.
Great pieces of advice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is brilliant. Thanks!
NAILED IT! love it bro.
This man is so pure, gonna follow him and his band!!
Really nice video john! Speaking the truth, i definitely got inspired to go practice right away now. Thank you!
#7: You're not practicing to a metronome everyday
Me: Is this like a personal attack or something
Dude, you just delivered a bucket of honesty! Love it
Mick Thomson is fairly crafty on the downpicking too, Gematria recording video was pretty sick
Quality video. I’ve always said that if you’re not learning/discovering something new on the guitar each and every time you pick it up, you’re not paying attention. Keep up the vids man!
Thank you for your honesty. You are right!
Awesome advice! More please!
Dude thanks! Dope video
Wow. I needed this. Thank you!
Thanks for putting this out dude that made me feel better as a guitarist as I am not a shredder but I do follow all those points you mentioned, especially the part about writing my own music and trying to do that right, even if its slow, simple, yet on time and accurate.
Hi, John! Thanks for the content. I'd love to see a video about your down picking technique. My biggest struggle :)
2:31 TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN
Loved this video
this is really great advice for all styles of music.
Thanks man, love that last one
THIS. Great video man! I really appreciate what you said, I had similar thoughts about these things.
Spot on. Many thanks for this one!
So on point. I am guilty for at least two of the ten. You have a new subscriber
Real and honest good advice!
I've started now admire you much more than usually when listen to your performances on youtube. HEARE those performances are justified: an artistic and technicician view combined behind a rock/metal player. Good to you man, good to everyone! Congratulations!
Well said I am moved and motivated brotha
This is awesome xD much love from Canada!!
Perfect advice. I play bass and want to play guitar. Songs made me excited!
Hi , love these Q&A session, are you doing any guitar clinics in the future ? Thanks
These are really valuable and honest points.
Words of wisdom. Thank you sir.
You know what's never talked... how to empty your head while playing. Come at peace with yourself. This also, takes time. Great video and reminders!
Didn't think I would, but I wholeheartedly agree with all of these - well done.
I’ve never been a lead player, and don’t really focus on that. I recognize a lot of these things in me, yet there are some that I’ve progressed at enormously. Love your content as always man!
I agree on everything you just said. You rock man.
Best guitar video online right now
You're a bloody legend mate and a true inspiration! Needed to hear this today, straight up no bullshit truthbombs, Keep it up!
Exactly brother! You said it all! 🤘🤘
Wise words, and for me personally you made a few points that I need to address so thank you 👍🏻
OMG! So , I listened to all that you said, I was very shocked because I was leaning in the direction you said, but many people are influencing it in this respect, so I never get what I really want. Thank you for sharing your advice with us! I accept it all! I like you John! Thank you!
Great vid.
He needs to do more of these
excellent, love the 6 one , this is so true. in my opinion , playing with a dry sound correct your problems and skills is a good way to progress too
Oh yes, the dreaded riff salad. Song writing is hard.
thank you john!!!
Mate you just appeared in my feed for the first time and just spat truth fire, every single thing you said I agree with.. Subbed
Thanks mate!
Well said dig it to the core
This is very helpful
These tips are very good, and I 100% agree with them. Except for the first one about the fret wrap. I think fretwraps are good IN THE STUDIO.
Glad that only 1 of these kind of applies to me, the only time I use a fret wrap is in the studio recording a super fast/technical part.
Love it!
Guilty of nearly all of these on a regular basis but I work on them daily. Easy traps to fall into. The heavy handed downpick is the focus of good riffing and something I work hard at.
Great video. So much to take away from this!
Nice one!
needed to hear this like 10 years ago
Browne, amazing video. you said everything we all need to keep in mind. brilhant! big fan here!
Just subscribed this week and the inspirational alone from trying to work all of your excercises up to snuff is worth it alone. If you're ready for the most productive discomfort of your life try some of his exercises at 200bpm
And thats why you are an amazing guitar player. You realize all those things. Thanks for expressing it to the world.
I was pleased to realize that I'm already working on straightening all of the above (although i never really thought about Hetfield and riff salads). Nice way to articulate common guitar struggles tho.
I agree with every 10 points. #6 is essential! See you at Techfest!
Thank you so much.
I feel proud to say that a lot that he has said I agree with and I also do what he recommends! BUT, I do not play to a metronome, which I probably should go back to doing so.
Truth man, right on!!!
I was just nodding the whole time lol, I feel called out in a really healthy way, but I'm also very encouraged that I'm following about half of these already :)
The tea in this video is SO hot. I'm glad you're telling people this truthful information
Every guitar player should be required watch this video. John you are a wise man and an amazing player. Respect 🙏
Thank you!
This is kind of spot on.
AMEN! I've been using the "less gain - pick harder" since I got my Fireball 60 a few years back. What also helped was recording our album on a profiled JCM800 on a Kemper. The power had to come from clear technique and heavy hitting, since the thing wasn't exactly what I'd call a Hi-Gain-Profile. Nowadays I have the gain at 9:30 at best, anything above that just ends up mudding the sound.
Anyways, great video and lots and lots of truth in all of the points! Keep it up!
#11 phrasing. If you can shred at the speed of light extremely clean I dont care one bit if you cant tie each lick together with coherent phrases that both compliment the rhythm and is complimented by the rhythm.
