Beast and the Harlot Intro Lick Lesson

[simplethunder]

Hey mate! I am trying to learn this track right now and I'm having a slight issue with this part, namely the fact that I find muting the strings particularly hard here, because of the harmonics on the 12th fret. Do you have any tips you can give me regarding this?

PS: Great playing :3

@simplethunder I do a palm mute for the notes on the D string and only let the notes on the G string stand out (no palm mute on these). This also kinda accents the groove, and highlights the main melody going on.

How do u get that kind of sound? =D

[wjm123]

@Negher11 Its from Line 6's Pod Farm VST plugin running into redwirez mesa impulses.

What guitar do you have because it's a beauty?

[wjm123]

@HobbsieWorld Its an Ibanez RG2550Z Prestige model.

[HobbsieWorld]

@wjm123 How much?

[wjm123]

@HobbsieWorld No idea, got it in a trade. It goes for about SGD1200 used and retails at around ~SGD2K at my local store i guess.

What does the yellow squares mean?

[wjm123]

@HaveSomeTerraria It doesn't mean anything.

its easier if you do this on the 3rd string:

|-0000-15-0000-17-0000-18-0000­-17-0000-15-|

@KidKoversInc it also sounds terrible and this is how syn plays it.. so i'll do it his way ;)

[KidKoversInc]

@AAHH94 It doesn't sound terrible, you just suck.

[AAHH94]

@KidKoversInc i just learned this song fully in 2 days.. no i dont you do, watch syn play it and you'll be amazed at how stupid your being
