TECHNICAL METAL QUESTION

Listen to the first 30 seconds of Revenga up there (3.mp3). After the "soft" intro, he goes into playing quadruplets at the rate of four notes in a about a half a second.

I know metal guitarists have been doing this for many years, but here's my question:

I've got a guitar here. I've got a pick. I've got two functioning limbs and ten functioning fingers.

And I don't see how it's humanly possible.

What am I missing, metal experts? Please to with the helping?

Discounting the blue parts which are pretty unintelligible. Do they have any songs that feature more than three colors? I thought when repeated a part of the song more than three times it was a refrain.

playing quadruplets at the rate of four notes in a about a half a second.

The guitar technique is you are refering to (and this is without listening to the song) is commonly known as 'shred'

Very similar to a mandolin player rapidly playing a note in some itialian spaghetti song while a gondola (driver?) sings.

It takes practice practice practice and then to throw in pull-offs and hammer-ons on the same string takes more practice.

Pull-offs/hammer-ons, I get. The only part I DON'T get is the part where you play the same note -- the SAME note, mind you, not DIFFERENT notes, which are NOT the same -- four times in 1/4 of a second. That's how fast he's playing 'em.

That's one note every 1/32 of a second. I just don't see how it's possible, unless he's finger-picking like Flamenco or something.

Compare and contrast:

Mezmerize --- St. Anger

Having not heard their brand-new album (which i think will probably come out sometime this year) I still think it's safe to say that Metallica are not the four horsemen of speed metal anymore.

5. Copy this sound to the clipboard.
