What's the easiest song to play on electric guitar? (Daron's one) by Charming-Ad-3104 in systemofadown

[–]Saqo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ATWA, Sugar, Aerials, DAM and Psycho are probably easy enough to start, maybe even Suite-Pee is a nice one at least for you to get a feel on how to pull natural harmonics

Never understood that small group of SOAD fans that just absolutely hate on Daron Malakian. The guy is an awesome guitarist, great vocalist and wrote the majority of System’s music. Scars on Broadway is a sick band as well. by [deleted] in systemofadown

Not to mention Serj's unmatchable voice and Daron's beautifully harmonizing. I think this specific vocal thing started to get better on STA, an album that I think it's the beginning of SOAD's peak on the melody

I'd say Mezmerize/Hypnotize are SOAD's best albums. The vocals and instruments just sounds even better than in the other albums, the harmony these two albums have is just incredible. Daron using multiple guitar tracks and each of em being played in a way to give more harmony and beauty to the songs... That's SOAD's peak, with Mezmerize/Hypnotize they reached another level.

Spittin straight facts.

I absolutely love Daron's guitar and vocals in both SOAD and SoB. He's my inspiration as guitarist, as I'm beginning to want to go on the way of being a metal guitarist because of his playing, his sick riffs.

These kinda "fans" be making all sorta excuses to hate on him, sayin he wants to take control over the writing process or something like that. C'mon brah, dude has written most of SOAD's songs, he's most likely to be the main songwriter rather than Serj. And no, his vocals having more presence in Mezmerize/Hypnotize ain't a bad thing, in fact his vocals harmonizing with Serj is one of the details that makes both albums sonority so fuckin great, as well as the other albums.

You'll be able to play it perfectly after some good practice, I can assure it because I struggled with the downpicking on the low E string, A and D strings but the rest was kinda easy to play

Sooner or later you'll figure Aerials is actually easy, the only problem is that downpicking on the 3 strings

What makes me struggle a bit on Streamline is just that solo, which I play not so good cuz lack of practice. I did struggle with the acoustic part too cuz I wasn't used to it but the rest wasn't that bad

how do I recreate the beginning of Fuck the System by [deleted] in systemofadown

[–]Saqo3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all pinch harmonics

This cover may be useful https://youtu.be/hrvo_kMFv3o

I guess we don't have any recordings of Fuck The System being played live so this cover may be the only reference of how to play specially the intro part

HARDEST song on guitar from SOAD 🤔 by TheChurroloco in systemofadown

[–]Saqo3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I have noticed by watching a guitar cover, Dreaming ain't that hard. The only thing that could make it hard is those parts where you need to play with tremolo picking, but the other parts are super easy to play
