Instead of a trot using 3 fingers, use 4.

It is kind of hard to get use to but it sounds nice and really helps you to play alot of heavy fast metal song with your fingers.

Anywho, just thought I would throw that out there... try it out tongue.gif

I find it insanely useful when I try to learn metal songs with my fingers... currently trying to tackle the song Wind of Horus - Nile.

Try figuring out some Meshuggah songs biggrin.gif

You're gonna need a 6 string or downtune to hell.

------------2--2-3-2-3-5-
2-4-5-4-5---5------------
---------------------------
---------------------------

Then just reverse that.

If its in standard, I'm pretty sure its just a simple E Minor scale.

I actually find the ascension easier on one string when I'm playing a short run like that, what song is it from?
