Endurance, knowledge, creativity, timing, dexterity are just a few skills we get from studying a bit of metal.


I am not the world's biggest metal head but I do like most of it. It's especially fun and challenging to learn a few aspects of the genre. I can read transcriptions of about any metal song but as far as executing it perfectly and memorizing it I usually fall short.


Let's at least start out by knowing a few notes, power chords, a blues scale and a couple of simple riffs. Thinking about timing from the get go is sure to save a lot of trouble in the future.
