One of My Favorite Original riffs.

Always enjoyed the floaty wtf vibe of this riff. Used it as a section of a song on my first album last year.

How can I create a metal song

I can play guitar for somewhat level, means I check tabs not the music notes and try out various guitar parts, these days I’m trying to learn Are you dead yet by COB.

I do have little knowledge of music theory, like I know chords major chords some power chords and basic understanding of music notes sharp , flats etc.

I really want to make a song, I’m writing down by thoughts but it doesn’t not make sense like a proper song, let’s assume I write something good in coming days. How can I put music or melody to it. I might sound really dumb because I’m a beginner, I really want to make my own music. Any advice or guidance from the fellow metal lovers 🤘

Bands like Accept

I know questions like this are common but I couldn't keep myself from asking. I basically want recommendations. Main thing I like about Accept is the guitar being extremely interesting to listen. They have great solos and energy. I don't like growling vocals so please don't reccomend such bands.

Here are some of the songs I like the most:

  • No Regrets
  • Locked and Loaded
  • Shades of Death
  • Rolling Thunder
  • The Abyss

What do I learn to play solos

So I've been playing for around half a year, I would say I'm pretty good for the time I'm playing, the best thing I can play is the stairway solo and I'm learning music theory with my guitar teacher. I really like bands like a7x and pantera and I can play most of the songs but not the solos and I want to know what I need to learn and what ro focus on for say the next year to be able to play solos that are more complex. And I would like solo reccomendatikna that are on the level of the stairway solo

ESP E-II M1/M2 NT or Ibanez RG550 Genesis

My amazing wife has offered to buy me a guitar as a birthday+anniversary+christmas present, with a budget of $900. I can take something within 900 or supplement it and raise the budget.

We’re in East Asia so the guitar prices here are a bit wonky. The guitar store has a pair of ESP E-IIs that I really like - an M1 single pickup (EMG 57) with hipshot hardtail ($1300) an M2 with BKP Aftermaths and Hipshot hardtail ($1500). The body and neck are almost identical and I kind of like both.

They’ve recently got a pair of RG550s priced at $720 which I haven’t had a chance to try yet but I expect they’d sell out pretty fast. I’ve heard great things about MIJ Ibanez guitars but I’m not too wild about the floyd

What should it do

2 Question about pickups

May sound dumb (I’m new) but is there a set of passive pickups that sound similar to EMG 81/60s? My guitar isn’t made for actives

If not is there anyway to swap passive pickups for actives?

Evertune bridge clearance

I know that changing string gauge and tunings (not Drops but literally tunings) is a pain in the ass to adjust just like floyd roses.

I want a 7 string guitar and i would like to switch tunings from standard tuning, to Bb tuning, to something else.

For Bb tuning it requires a low tension module, meanwhile Standard tuning well... just standard.

My question is: if i buy a low tension module, can i also change to standard tuning or then i would need to buy a standard module?

Because i can't get if the modules need to be either low, high or standard based on gauge or strings, or if i got a low module i also got the benefits of a standard module.

It may sound confusing, but i want clearance.

What's the best way to go about getting a TAB?

How can I get someone to make a tab for a song that doesn't have one yet?

Would like to get this short song tabbed properly so I could play it. I'm useless at trying to do it myself, I've tried.

Cheers
