These are the 10 levels of Metal techniques that I think are essential for any guitarist looking to learn Metal riffs, from easiest to hardest. Follow me on Instagram!: / nandogilmetal
Pinch harmonics ive never really tried and my tapping could use some work. Honestly i play acoustic most often these days. This video made me wanna shred though. Sheesh.
@Aethereus69 thank you!! Was just thinking the exact same. Messengers is one of my top favorite albums and I'm not even a huge fan of those kind of tunes. Just something about that album man
First of all, GO PRS!!! Second of all, your playing is awesomely punctual. You're never late for the lick. It's actually a great piece of music IMO. And your picking game is sick dude. Go get famous lol
Wow really fun to watch 10 levels. All really tasty riffs that just kept getting better as i watched. Ive replayed it about 5 times in a row now haha! What is the tuning?
Loved this video. Good practice idea also, use a background track and practice improvisation along with incorporating different techniques and combinations of techniques. Surprisingly did help my practice on sweeps and tapping trying to replicate this video, even developed my own way of sweeping and tapping where I hide the pick in my hand and tap along the sweeping in a sorta legato way so thanks for the practice man!
I used to have this exact problem when I started, trust me eventually your brain catches up and simply picks at the right angle and the pinch is louder. You'll gradually get more control over it and the harmonics will be way clearer and louder, just keep going at it!
Aye I appreciate the compliment seriously 🙏🏼 but I’m an advanced player at best, still make a lot of mistakes and have room to grow 👍🏼👍🏼 Hopefully 1 day I will be one of the best guitarists in Metal! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal you know even the most experienced guitarist still make mistakes but those mistakes can come out as the best cords. I’d recommend recording your free plays and just listen to them, you might find your own tune ❤️
It’s impossible to gauge since everyone’s muscle memory and practice time is different 👍🏼 I would say don’t put a timer on it, and instead make sure to be able to play each Level clean and confidently before moving onto the next one 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
@@AzzyJijie you’re like me We both play nonstop but likely for the sake of fun not for the sake of practice yet we get our practice in by doing what we deem as fun
@@NandoGilMetalPhrygian? Megadeth fan? They love Dorian, Aeolian, and Phrygian, especially during the Marty Friedman years. I don’t do modals, personally - I’m a drummer, lmao.
Yeah when tremelo picking you don’t really wanna dig in with the pick You only want the very end of the pick to be lightly hitting the string but not too light of course within no time you’ll have it down I’m perfect at tremelo picking tapping, alternative picking, pinch harmonics, natural harmonics, ect Recently got good at sweep picking too
Play slow one string melodys and alternate pick then, then do the tremolo motion (using the wrist is much better and faster, but forearm is fine and im a victim of it) and again start slow and speed up. Finnally chug chug tremolo and add to more advanced stuff. My fingers hurt
Alternate picking is picking every notes up and down following a precise rythm and tremolo picking is the same but as fast as you can and without precise rythm

To my Metal guitarists, which level gives you most trouble? 🤔
I wish I could play like this :(
@@Lunarlights5580 You can eventually with consistent practice 👍🏼
Yes
Pinch harmonics ive never really tried and my tapping could use some work. Honestly i play acoustic most often these days.
This video made me wanna shred though. Sheesh.
I don't know what string skipping is unless it's just hitting the string you want and it's not directly above or below the last string voiced
I was honestly expecting step 10 to be “Making money”😂😂😂
A Level that many will never reach in the genre 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼
Level: impossible 😂😂😂
The secret 11th step.
lol the truth is in the details.
can u plz shr the tone settings
The harmonics sound so good, distorted harmonics always sound good.
The more harmonics, the better! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Этот теплый ламповый звук, как говорят аудиофилы😂
Reminds me of Dimebag
@@JamesJones-sh9mdI was just about to comment this lol. Couldn’t agree more.
@@NandoGilMetalpinch harmonics with distortion may be the coolest thing I've ever heard/learned to do with a guitar.
Somebody's been listening to a lot of gojira
And August Burns Red
Both kickass bands
@Aethereus69 thank you!! Was just thinking the exact same. Messengers is one of my top favorite albums and I'm not even a huge fan of those kind of tunes. Just something about that album man
More like 10 levels of Gojira 😂
Im hearing more a mix of Gojira and Lamb of God
Guy who has only heard Gojira, hearing something else: Getting a lot of 'Gojira' vibes from this...
@@OfficialErnestCriterion Well, he's doing a lot of things Gojira are widely known for doing often
@@OfficialErnestCriterion Well princess that would be because it does sound like Gojira.
Yeah, I liked Godzilla too, specially in that movie!
Muting is the fundamental of metal riffing. The picking and harmonics were sick.
Agreed! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 and thank you 🔥
По мне они были ахренительны💪

@@user-jz8uo1zb3iсогласен 🤘🤘🤘
oh my god you're so good. how is this even possible
I really appreciate that 🙏🏼
😂 sarcasm overload
@@victorb96.hes good wdym?
@@leastbasedturk6513 he is good. But not so good for that "how is this even possible" comment
😂
Dude, you have such a killer tone. I love it. You’re amazing.
Thank you seriously 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥
Interesting how the "easy" ones are the ones to dance to and have good time and the hard ones are to sit at the desk and analyse
Idk man, the hard ones were hype
Putting it right behind the subscribe button was a bit of an oversight eh?
😂😂😂 I promise you that was an accident… but maybe it’s a sign 👀
Bro really put pick scrapes before alternate picking 😂
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS THAT IS SOME SKILL
Thank you! 🔥 I appreciate that 🤘🏼🤘🏼
level 4 remind me to Gojira
A lot of people said this was 10 Levels of Gojira 😂🤣
Dude this was so good…. Not to mention, I know that these videos don’t edit themselves.
Thank you i really appreciate that! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Pinch harmonics at lvl 8 lmao
I'm getting some killswitch vibes on some of those riffs
Perfect because that’s my favorite band! 🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
Man that was CLEAN. Those harmonics… oh my.
Thank you! 🔥🔥🔥
Metal drummer here just taking the time to say. Good shit dude. F'n axe murderer bro. 🤟🏻🤙🏼🔥
Thanks dude! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
MAN i love the metal tecnics but didnt knew about their names, thanks a lot for this, now i can start training them
Stay consistent and you will be Level 10 in no time! 👍🏼
First of all, GO PRS!!! Second of all, your playing is awesomely punctual. You're never late for the lick. It's actually a great piece of music IMO. And your picking game is sick dude. Go get famous lol
I love this comment dude thank you! 🙏🏼 Trying my best! 🎸🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
5 sounds fuckin amazing
Thank you 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Them harmonics sounded sick as fuck!!🤘🤘
It sounded more like Gojira every time you did something new
🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼
This is a powerful guitar metal riffs. Respect bro 👊 tapping is a very very hard.
Am from Poland 🇵🇱🥂
Thank you! 🙏🏼 I really appreciate that! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I really like the “subscribe scrape” ngl
Hell yeah!!! 🔥🔥🔥
The harmonic is hard bro.. I know well
Nice riffing dude!
Thanks man i really appreciate that! 🙏🏼
Well, 😅 me too!!🤘
Wow really fun to watch 10 levels. All really tasty riffs that just kept getting better as i watched. Ive replayed it about 5 times in a row now haha! What is the tuning?
Thank you seriously 🙏🏼 and the tuning is Drop C 🎸🔥
Didn't know 6 string guitar could sound that heavy 🔥🔥
Tone is everything! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 Thanks for commenting 🙏🏼
bro casually made a boss fight theme
@@gruffplayz2611 🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼
Level 8 was so clean man 🔥🔥
@@Cascao-012 Thanks dude 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I could never get to sweeping and it pisses me off so much
It’s absolutely the hardest thing to get down, I still make a lot of mistakes 👍🏼 Don’t give up 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal haha thanks man that's very nice of you! I might pick guitar back up cause of your kind words 🤘🏻
Same. Sweeping is the only thing I can't do here. I know the technique and whatnot, and a few triads that make it easier, but it's still annoying
Same here sweeping is difficult above all others.
I can alt pick really fast from low E to G then fingers don't want to cooperate past that point. It's like I get stuck on stupid or something lmao.
Loved this video. Good practice idea also, use a background track and practice improvisation along with incorporating different techniques and combinations of techniques. Surprisingly did help my practice on sweeps and tapping trying to replicate this video, even developed my own way of sweeping and tapping where I hide the pick in my hand and tap along the sweeping in a sorta legato way so thanks for the practice man!
Absolutely, no problem 👍🏼 Thank you for watching and commenting! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
So bad ass.. Love the way you play that guitar.. 1000% love it
Tremolo and Sweep Tap got that Lorna Shore moment
I WISH i was that good 🔥 Adam from Lorna is a monster guitarist!! 🎸🤘🏼🤘🏼
This song goes hard 🤘🤘
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥
Nicely demonstrated
Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
it's crazy how willie adler and mark morton use all those 10 level at once during one song.
They’re 2 of the best ever 🐐🎸🤘🏼🤘🏼
I can't do the pinch harmonics and I am losing my mind......everytime I see a guide or someone explaining it never works....
Dont worry, everyone went thru that struggle just keep practicing and you will get it!!! Gain helps by de way
It’s just one of those things you have to figure out yourself, keep in mind you are using your own hand.
I used to have this exact problem when I started, trust me eventually your brain catches up and simply picks at the right angle and the pinch is louder. You'll gradually get more control over it and the harmonics will be way clearer and louder, just keep going at it!
I think of it like picking with your thumb if that helps at all
That's bad ass 🔥💪🎸🔥. And taught me something 🎸💪❤️💯🤟🤟🤟
That’s great! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 I always love teaching people new guitar techniques! 🎸🔥
Definitely subbed.
Thank you!!!! 🙏🏼
love the sweeps :) Very important
And very difficult! 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼 Thanks for commenting 🙏🏼
Absolutely in love with this video. Dude is just gliding through each example like an absolute boss ❤❤❤❤❤
I seriously appreciate that! 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Level 3 was badass
@@killeez40 Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Amazing skills brother!
Thank you for the comment! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
This is sick af! Right now I have every level except 4 and 10 lol
Tremolo picking is like, the only thing that I’m actually good at lmao
That’s been a controversial one for sure 😂 some people find it difficult, some people don’t 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for commenting! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very cool. Clean playing!
Thank you and thanks for commenting! 🙏🏼
@@NandoGilMetal Love to support small, quality creators Cheers man

so I'm level 7-8-sometimes 10 but not level 6 understood
I’ve always liked to call #3 “hallow power chords”
That was fuckin awesome.
@@assmosis4573 Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
That PRS sounds amazing for metal.
I’ve got 2 PRS’s, I highly recommend them 👍🏼 Thanks for commenting! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Damn right it does
FR, loving the pinch harmonics, it all sounds though!
@@NandoGilMetal Awesome! Which PRS models do you possess if I may ask
Ugly guitars with good sound.
Based on these levels, can you name those songs where these techniques are present, or a song where there is everything at once? I want to practice
Yes pls
the true high levels are being able to combine them to express yourself.
Oh my God... I would listen to a whole music from this video.
Bro, why am I just looping this. 🔥🫡🤙
YES! Thank you! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥
Can you try this same thing with acoustic
Yea for sure, Harmonics and Sweeps become much more difficult on Acoustic though! 😬
@NandoGilMetal I'm just curious the outcome of the sound brother! 🤙
That guitar is gorgeous
Thank you! 🎸🔥
@@NandoGilMetal what guitar is that ?
I was good with level 1 the rest blew me away! Great playing and guitar tone
Thanks! I appreciate that! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very nice breakdown and lovely examples
@@kenhitchcock4075 Thanks for watching and commenting 🤘🏼🤘🏼
On way to level 10 after 4 years 💪🏽
You got this! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hella sick bro,ur a pro 🤘🔥🍻🌅
Thanks dude! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
‘Level 2 - Bending’ is probably my favorite bit, it’s really reminiscent to me of the 3rd ‘Will Haven’ record
All sounded good, 1-3 are my favorite of them all.
dam what the hell have I've been playing? Must be doing something wrong. If it's not considered metal, then what category am I in lol
😂 You could be playing Hard Rock or Alternative Rock. Some genres can be confused with Metal, but don’t typically utilize all of these techniques 🎸
do u have Instagram?
@@germanv4611 Yes i do! 👍🏼 Under the same name as my TH-cam channel if you want to give me a Follow, I’d appreciate it! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal I just added ya. I got some music up there if can give me ur input and also what the hell kind of metal I'm playing lol
How many years do you estimate we will reach level 10?
It’s impossible to gauge since everyone’s muscle memory and practice time is different 👍🏼
I would say don’t put a timer on it, and instead make sure to be able to play each Level clean and confidently before moving onto the next one 🤘🏼🤘🏼🎸
Took me about 5-6 years. Should be a good ball park for you
5 years I’d say, I’ve been playing for like 7 years but it took me 5 to learn how to do that
Practicing only focus on 1 things you want to learn. Sweep picking took me for 2½ years to do clean... 5 hours a day😂
@@AzzyJijie you’re like me
We both play nonstop but likely for the sake of fun not for the sake of practice yet we get our practice in by doing what we deem as fun
You basically described a dream theater's song 😂
That tone is immaculate 👏
@@paulburger9904 Thank you 🙏🏼
Got Gojira vibes from this
Forgot to mention the most important element: phrygian dominant
You know your scales! 🧠
@@NandoGilMetalPhrygian? Megadeth fan? They love Dorian, Aeolian, and Phrygian, especially during the Marty Friedman years.
I don’t do modals, personally - I’m a drummer, lmao.
Dude got more chops than than Chuck Norris sparring against 8 other guys....
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
That was amazing.
@@ExoticFireGirl Thank you 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Nice dude
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Let do sword and sorcery and heavy metal yeahhhhh
I can listen to this forever
Please do 🙏🏼😂
Sick
Thanks! 🔥
🤟
🤘🏼🤘🏼
5 sounds sick af
Haha, now I have a skill ladder to proceed with :) very nice
Take your time and don’t rush through the Levels 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Literally can’t even see the captioning
You skipped level one which is having a solid punchy attack when palm muting
Level 10: ADHD in musical form.
Alternative picking was so sick
You can make some cool rhythms with a smooth alt picking technique 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal reminded me of Fit for an autopsy and I love them
@@sebastianthehotsaucedude5473 Great band! 🔥
where's the Gallop? God level?
That's sick
Thank you! 🙏🏼
That harmonic one was cheeky 😂 the cheekiest little riff I’ve ever heard
What a beauty of a Custom 24 😍
Thank you! 🎸🤘🏼🤘🏼
I just can't do tremolo I am learning for over a year 😢
Work a lot with pick's tip. You will consume it fast
@@scolapastajoeilpittore2974 I bet

Play L'Enfant Savage breakdown until something inside of your soul snaps
Bro just described playing guitar
this makes me happy
Me too! 👍🏼
I literally listened to a new Gojira album now
I can tap and string skip but can't do pinch harmonics :') only accidentals...
I'm on the opposite end where I can do pinch harmonics, but can't tap or string skip :|
Tapping is easy, I learned it before palm muting
Just got absorbed into that work of art Multiple times
Nice!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
I just want to listen to this on repeat for the next 3 hours🤘
Please do! 🤘🏼😂🤘🏼
What's difference between alternate picking and tremolo picking
Alternate picking is picking every notes up and down following a precise rythm and tremolo picking is the same but as fast as you can and without precise rythm
Good song and great Work, ¿What's the song name?
It’s inspired from an unreleased song that I wrote 👍🏼 More details on that title and my album’s release date when it’s done being mixed 🤘🏼🤘🏼
@@NandoGilMetal oh okay. Thanks anyway
