    Bryan is as humble and affable guy, as you'd ever want to meet. He said that he couldn't learn the song off of Master of Puppets so he worked on a technique that worked for him. He didn't claim that this was the "Beller-Technique" or that he promoted. He only indicated that it was a technique in his bag of amazing tricks!

    THANK You for the fast play technic. I'm a disabled vet who is learning how to play because a friend suggested it would help as a form a meditation. I can't play fast cause of some of my issues. this helps me.... sooo much

      The tremolo technique he's showing, is actually very inaudible in a mix.
      I would suggest you use a pick, use 3 finger Technique like in most of death metal bands, or just play what ever sounds best, you don't have to play every single note the guitar plays, the people care more about hearing bass in general than speed.

    You guys are exactly right; every player develops their own technique. No two pairs of hands are the same and everyone will have their own approach, even if another musician has already taken a very similar approach.

    I wonder if he has spoken about why he is so persistent to use his fingers when playing metal.
    While I think it's very cool that he has come across a technique so that he can play with the same speed as a pick, I wonder why he didn't decide to use a pick? It just seems to me to be the obvious solution

    can anyone explain the benefits of playing metal fingerstyle as opposed to with a pick? i play fingerstyle funk/pop/whatever else and can also play with a pick, don't really see the merit in spending so much time developing that 3 finger technique instead of just using a pick. thoughts?

    • @oldGnRrocks1
      @oldGnRrocks1 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      because playing without a pick is metal. playing with a pick is artificial because all the greats used their fingers. and what if your at a gig, and dont have a pick and no one else has a pick?

      1guitarfreak4 Currently my fender has a set of low strings on it and I've been using open g and it's held up pretty nicely. I don't wanna use too low of a set of strings because I use a lot of different tunings

    • @soeffingwhat
      @soeffingwhat 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Karl Pogue But to tune that low with Standard Strings you have to raise the action a good bit or else the Strings will be too floppy. I currently play with a Band who tune down to Drop C... I don't have a 5 String at the moment so I de-tune one of my 4-Strings...I don't particularly like playing in Low C cos I like to have the reference on the Bass in Standard 4ths, so while the Guitars are tuned to C, I tune to low B. Basically the standard low tuning of a 5 String.

    • @CoBeX31
      @CoBeX31 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It just depends on what you want out of the bass. You have someone like Geddy Lee who plays a reserved, simplistic bass. A pick would sound too sharp and choppy with that style. Then crazy technical bassists like Les Claypool and Flea, where a pick would just limit them because they're using pretty much every finger they have. But then you have someone like Justin Chancellor. Try playing any Tool song without a pick, I promise it won't sound good at all. It just depends on your own style and sound. One isn't better than the other.

      I could argue there are better bass player than cliff. Steve Harris, Les Claypool.
      The bass god John Myung. If everyone played like cliff, not only would there be just ONE way of doing things, but metal would sound a lot more linear.
      Also, he was *inspired* by cliff, not trying to be a cliff burton impersonator.
      I like cliff too, but metal in bass had evolved before cliff, and will continue to evolve after him, just as music will evolve without the beatles and Michael Jackson
