![]() Wendy from West Des Moines, Ia As a newly recovering alcoholic, many treatment centers and a suicide attempt in my past "Fade to Black" has played a huge part in my recovery. ![]() I view this song as a sequel to One, in which each subject is wishing for death, and in Fade To Black he finally gets it. Nash from AustraliaAnyone else made the connection between Fade to Black and One?.Sim from Cleveland RocksThis song should be the “B-Side” to Beyond The Realms of Death by Judas Priest.Shaen from Kokomo IndianaThis song was really meaningful when I went through an extreme depression.Blarinaaron Bassman from So Cal I EI am 60 yrs young I have father's 4 good children have10 children 2 x wives a 30+yrs in the union and playing a solid baddass bass line sinse1974 all of a suddin nobody needs me or wants me even though my fire is far from out what the f-k have I done I'm not the suacidel tipe but if there is a grater power running things I feel I wish he'd take me.Evan from Calgary AbHands down the best song ever.I also play a mean air guitar, mostly lead! Axld from Mtb TrailsAwesome song, been a fan since the early days.I don't remember that on the record or the cassette.? Was that assed later on Ozzy Fan from IllinoisIs it just me or does anyone else not remember there being a the long "Goodbye" after the final lyric of the last verse (now I will just say goodbye).But it is a technique that you’d benefit from, so I recommend you use it instead of your somewhat random method. Alternate picking is simply a tool to play fast and efficiently – it is NOT something to obsess over. This is so you become a “100% proficient alternate picker”, which simply means you’re trained well enough at alternate picking that you could begin at any point in an alternate picked song after being told which direction the last pick stroke was. If you’re practicing an alternate picking exercise then it’s a very good idea to first practice it starting with a down pick, and then all over again but beginning with an up pick. Just begin alternate picking again starting with a down stroke or whatever feels most natural. If you’re alternate picking something but then you go into a legato passage and later come back to alternate picking, you don’t need to pick up where you left off. alternate picking is a great thing to master, and with a little practice it flows very easily and subconsciously. There are also other picking techniques that you may have heard of, such as economy picking, which work better in certain situations than alternate picking would. ![]() Sometimes it’s a good idea to deviate from alternate picking for a moment because certain notes in a song sound best if picked down or up. I am not 100% sure because the video is quite small, but I notice that Kristofer plays downstroke-upstroke-upstroke-downstroke for the first 4 notes of the solo. ![]() Now I wonder if it really matters playing the right patterns of downstrokes or upstrokes. Of course I could find it out by counting but I find it rather difficult and annoying if I have to do this for every measure and try to remember on which note I have to play a downstroke or an upstroke. The problem I have is that I don't know if I have to play a downstroke or an upstroke after some legato notes (which aren't picked). If I have a measure that has only eighth notes, I play downstrokes on the counts 1, 2, 3 and 4 and upstrokes in-between.īut in Fade to Black there are many legato techniques like slides, bends, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Since I have some practice in playing scales the work of my left hand isn't the greatest problem.īut I really have problems with my right hand (picking hand), more precisely with the alternate picking technique.įor the moment I play the first measures using downstrokes and upstrokes without a special pattern. At the moment I am practising Kirk Hammett's Fade to Black solo (the intro) with the help of the videos from. ![]()
