163..., triplets?Idk if y'all will think I'm st00p1d, or already did, or what not - but I just had a f00k1n' revelation. Yes, really.
Take this particular tab, it's at 163 btw:

Been having some sloppiness doing the 4th string 4th fret (and same on 5th fret) and jumping over to two open 6th strings.
I'm like, what if I keep my pinky down on 5th string 7th fret?I just cleared the 5th string from my path and it's like I can't miss!
I guess one of the 1st things drilled into my head was "don't keep your fingers down, lift when done!". Well, not so smart in this case.
Duh!
Helluva lot easier, lol. I need to see if I can find a video of this song, curious if they play it your way, mucho more sciencey! Bravo sir!163..., triplets?
Any time I keep my fingers on a string, I end up getting noise I don't want.
I end up working a LOT on just releasing the pressure, while still keeping my finger on the string to mute it. (Not so easy with real low action though.)
Edit: I just tried it..., why not just fret the 7th, then 9th, then 10th frets, all on the A string, then do the 2 on the 7th fret, 6th string, then 7-10-7 to finish it?
Bah, I'm not far from full speed, 90 some %, anyway. I'm sure you could play it with very little time. Me, I've been playing the first 3 songs of this particular At the Gates album for what, two months?? Heh, but it's fun so it's all good!Actually, the only chance I'd have of playing that up to speed, assuming it is triplets, is all on the E string.
I probably spend 1/3 of my time tryin to figure out the easiest way to play stuff, without changing how it sounds of course.I probably need to work on my transposing, lol, and stop taking the tabs as the gospel!
Nah. It's got you thinking.But then tonight's "revelation" is for nuthin'
So much shit I mess with I'll never get full speed (the solo to Bark at The Moon), but the enjoyment of playing it is enough for me.but it's fun so it's all good!

Plus, you'll start seeing the notes at different places on the neck. Which is always a good thing!

Like, I just ran through the triplets of the final run in BATM, but at 104bpm, and it sounds freakin cool AF even at that (slow) tempo!
Awesome!!Heh! Just watched some concert footage, circa 2008 (like 10 years after this came out originally) and they're playing it your way.![]()
I'm going to start sending you all my tabs for transposal. Thanks in advance
And soon as I memorize the new improved "@TSJMajesty method", I don't see having any issue playing it at 100%. w00t. Thank you kind sir.
There's no pause in triplets (unless there's a rest.) That type of riff could be played as 4 notes across a beat (16th notes), or triplets. Just depends on where the beat is.Oh, and yeah, it looks like triplets on that tab, but to me, with my limited knowledge, not "really". Accent obviously on the 1st of each 3 note group but they are more in time with no pause between groups of 3.
This is about the time when @la szum would chime in to say, "It's all about the journey! Enjoy yourself.I could've cut the learning time of this song tremendously, if only I wasn't hampered by poor DNA. Heh!!
I thought it was the Italians.Maybe not exactly like when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor, but close!
Awesome!!

Here's an example of a riff that's mostly in "threes", but it's actually 16th notes (except for the sextuplet run on every 8th beat):
4 sets of 3 notes, played as 16th notes = 3 beats, then he plays 4 notes for the 4th beat, to finish the measure:

Yeah, he must be on some Harley quest or found some ganja he's never tried.This is about the time when @la szum would chime in to say, "It's all about the journey! Enjoy yourself."
I'm pretty sure he is at a river festival we have here in northern Michigan. I am sure he mentioned that to me.My theory is only theoretical. I don't even know what I don't know. Heh, I just rawk. Need to work on that without making it work, have enough of that during the week

Oh the modern potheads are calling it "river festivals" nowadays?I'm pretty sure he is at a river festival we have here in northern Michigan. I am sure he mentioned that to me.

I jest, I jest!
I've got that one down, it's actually the 3rd song, "Cold". That's awful nice of you, thank you very much!@Warmart what song is it? I'll edit the tab for ya!
Edit: If it's Slaughter of the Soul, this is how Songsterr has it tabbed"

It sounds correct to me.
Ok, here's how songsterr has it:I've got that one down, it's actually the 3rd song, "Cold". That's awful nice of you, thank you very much!
Way better than the UG "official" tab I was using. Your way is the real way, they are staying in the same position as you gave, never going up to the 2nd fret.
