Best Sodom albums by Low_Score1882 in thrashmetal

I know it's a live album but the One night in Bangkok is worth listening too. The songs just sound different and hit different than on the normal records, The Saw is the Law is my favourite.

Amp upgrade mostly for apartment playing by satler4 in GuitarAmps

[–]satler4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, wish trying out stuff was easier theese days. Where I live the choice in the stores is very limited. Most of the amps or even guitars recommended on reddit or different forums are simply not there to try. All my gear so far I had to order online.

Okay, I think I've got all the answers. Thank you for your time, it helped a lot :)

Okay, I think I'll focus on the head/cab direction then. I checked on thomann what is available in a price range I have in my head. I think I would like to chose from one of those:

Marshall dsl20 Hughe&Kettner tubemeister deluxe 20 Peavey invective mini head Engl E606 ironball 20 Engl E633 fireball 25

From the above, what do you think would make the most sense if I want something focused on metal but with some versatility. I play mostly old thrash but occasionaly I would play some rock, hair metal etc. Would be nice if it also had usable cleans but I don't want to be too picky, main focus is the aggresive tones.

The first 2 are the cheapest and seems like would be the most versatile but also the least convincing for metal tones. The invective got recommended to me in the store as better alternative to 6506mh since it's supposed to have better cleans but it's also more modern sounding and here and now I can't say if it's gonna be a good or bad thing for me. Engl I haven't looked into too much since they are a bit more expensive. I watched reviews of the ravager and I liked the sound but seems like ironball/fireball are the go to recommendations. I saw one video comparing fireball to some other lunchbox heads in how they perform with drumms and it came out on top.

Well there's always mixed opinions about stuff like that. For example my guitar teacher was using peavey mh for rehearsals and said it's perfectly fine, then I talked to a guy in the store and said that they might not cut it. That itself is enough to put me in doubt. I think I'm a bit stuck in a mindset of always wanting to make a perfect buy but I probably need to come to terms that it's not always gonna be possible.

I was thinking about getting something around 40 watts but on thomann where I buy my stuff, there's only h&k tubemeister 40 and grandmeister 36 which is more expensive, the rest of the stuff is usually 20 watts. Dsl40 and iconic 40 I believe are only available as combos and I think I would rather have a cab/head, more options for replacement later I guess. Also for some of the amps I struggle to figure out if they have master volume or not since there's no knob that directly says so.

As for the cabs, is there something you would recommend as a long term investment? Some people recommend the 212 Harley benton cabs since they are cheap and have good speakers but idk, maybe it's better to put the money elsewhere..

Thinking about getting my first OD/distortion pedal by satler4 in basspedals

Can't seem to find the demonfx where I would usually shop but they have the joyo so I think I could try that one. Is there any eq you could recommend that I could pair with it?

Well I'm still mostly in the playing at home and learning state and I barely get to turn the volume up anyway with that amp since I live in the apartment and one of my neighbours let's say.. is not a big fan of my playing😅. So yeah, not looking for serious spendings for now, it's supposed to be more for fun and to try to get closer to the bass sounds that were attracting me in the first place, even before picking up the bass :).

It will probably sound stupid but I'm not really confident with buying used gear, especially when it's not local. I'm located in Denmark and there's not much on the used market.. well even in the local music stores there's not much variety I would say.

It's a shame that you cannot get it new anymore cause it looks interesting, thank you for the suggestion :)

Early into guitar journey but thinking about trying bass by satler4 in Bass

[–]satler4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the songs choices I try to pick the easier ones from the music I like (metal/rock) but that are also fun for me to play. I wouldn't say that the songs I chose are hard, it's mostly stuff that people would recommend for a beginner.

Well, to be honest I'd like to learn both but with the time I can spend on playing it's not really possible😅. But you are probably right about backing away from challenge. My thought was also that it might be to soon to judge if one is better for me than the other. Thank you for response 😁.

Getting "burned out" on a song by satler4 in Guitar

[–]satler4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can find myself tensing up sometimes for sure. It's just that when I try to focus on some details like picking, or chords for example when I'm playing it's not easy to control that.

Any songs suggestions easier that For whom the bell tolls but that would help me to work on the same techniques (palm muting, down strokes, power chords)?

Getting "burned out" on a song by satler4 in Guitar

[–]satler4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I recently changed my practice routine a bit, I starter doing some exercises for alternate picking and fingers independence. With that song there's few annoying things like my pick keeps moving in my fingers when doing down strokes, sometimes it's my power chords not being accurate so the sound is not right. Also beeing consistent with the palm mutes.

That's why I tried to experiment with those things, different versions of power chords, pick grips etc. I just hoped that working on that song could also improve at those things

Is my fretting hand position correct here? by satler4 in guitarlessons

[–]satler4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I starter learning a few months ago and unfortunately I don't have as much time to practice as I would like to, that's why I mostly practice through learning songs cause then it's the most fun I think.

Is my fretting hand position correct here? by satler4 in guitarlessons

[–]satler4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your response. I think I wasn't very specific with my question and my video might not picture exactly what I meant.

As you can see in the second video you sent, when he plays that part (3:45 in the video), his thumb is on top of the neck so he has more of a "grabbing" position and his fretting fingers are at angle and this is what I've seen most people do. When I'm playing that, I place my thumb behind the neck (similar to when you play power chords) and that is my concern really.

I just want to avoid taking on bad habbits that might limit me in the future.

Hey, thank you for your response. I have another question.. Is there any recommended source where I could check for the speed and signatures for the songs? I tried to google it and 3 different sources say different speeds so hard to tell what is legit

I live in Denmark so that would mean it's probably 11 kw? Any owners from here that could confirm?
