Heavy metal (well, Hard Rock in any case) inspired me to pick up the guitar and start thrashing away, learning the riffs to such classics as Paranoid, Smoke On The Water and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
At a base line level learning Heavy Metal is easy – its all power chords, bass notes and the occasional splintering fourths sequence thrown in -Smoke On The Water - is played in fourths (as most of Blackmore's famous riffs were) not fifths like every kid in every guitar shop plays. But to master heavy metal guitar playing is no mean feat. The virtuosity of players like Kirk Hammet, Eddie Van Halen and Yngwie Malsteem has raised the bar and it has to be said that fans demand a very high level of musicianship.
Pioneering Heavy Metal bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath drew heavily upon adcirca cialis vs cialis a broad range of musical influences including jazz, blues, classical and eastern music (Zeppelin's In the Evening and Rainbow's Stargazer spring immediately to mind) and todays players have pushed the envelope even further.
As with anything, a sound foundation is required to play Heavy metal properly. I would recommend a solid grounding and knowledge of basic chords, before learning how to play blues guitar, as Heavy metal is often simply the blues turned up very loud with distortion.
This basic knowledge will give you a solid grounding before progressing further with Heavy Metal guitar. Once you have the basics, you can progress to more difficult lessons.
