HiDERA | 24 August 2024 | 253 MB

If you’re after that modern metal guitar sound, you’re in the right place. Veteran Groove3 instructor Gary Hiebner will teach you the 10 most important guitar techniques you’ll need in the modern metal style, along with plenty of excellent examples demonstrating each. Whether you’re an intermediate player or a beginner, these techniques are crucial in the metal guitar style, and you’ll have a blast learning them all here. Designed for players that are new to the modern metal style, these tutorials will have you sounding authentic in no time! Gary kicks off the course with one of the most ubiquitous metal techniques of all: the palm-mute chug. Many people are familiar with this classic move, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. This is followed by a look at artificial harmonics, which are played differently than natural harmonics and provide lots of opportunities for dressing up your riffs and solos. Then it’s time to check out the pinch harmonic—another metal guitar staple mastered beyond belief by Zakk Wylde, among others.

Suzanne Ciani’s long and intense connection with modular synthesis started after meeting Don Buchla in the late 1960s. She soon became obsessed with the Buchla 100 and 200 systems, taking a particular interest in how the voltage-controlled quadrophonic capabilities enabled her to move sounds around a room. More than five decades on, while Ciani has utilised a huge range of synths during her career, the Buchla is still her main instrument of choice. She has produced some truly magical music over the years, earning no less than five Grammy nominations along the way, but it’s not enough to describe her work as being in another league. It’s also from another dimension.
