Matt Heafy: Modern Metal Guitar Technique
Matt Heafy, guitarist and frontman of Trivium, has mastered the art of modern metal guitar. Now, you can learn his complete system for developing precision picking, relentless stamina, and the ability to craft powerful, melodic riffs. This method will help you sharpen your technique, refine your creativity, and take your playing to the next level. Forget aimless exercises! Modern Metal Guitar Technique gives you proven practice drills that build real-world metal guitar skills.
What You'll Learn
Master down-picking, alternate picking, tremolo picking, and galloping rhythms
Create heavy, melodic, syncopated riffs with master-level precision
Combine rhythm and lead guitar techniques to develop your unique style
Unlock the full potential of seven-string guitar, from low-end power to harmonized layers
Build a structured practice system to increase speed, endurance, and accuracy
Push your playing into new territory by learning odd-time signature, syncopated phrasing
Study the techniques that define modern metal to develop your own unique sound
Develop Real-World Metal Guitar Skills
You'll start with essential warm-ups, stretching routines, and structured drills to build accuracy and strength. Next, develop your picking hand stamina and learn to lock in with a tight, aggressive rhythm sound. Then, train your down-picking endurance, master syncopation and palm muting, and develop the skills needed to perform at a professional level.
Go beyond technique and learn to write and perform killer metal riffs. Discover how to combine pedal tones, syncopation, and exotic scales like Phrygian Dominant and Harmonic Minor to create powerful, expressive rhythm parts. You'll also learn how to adapt your playing for Drop-D tuning and seven-string guitar, unlocking new creative possibilities with extended-range riffing.
Play Iconic Trivium Riffs and an Exclusive Full-Length Song
Get Matt Heafy's insights into iconic Trivium riffs from songs like Suffocating Sight, Ember to Inferno, In the Court of the Dragon and more. Learn how they were created, and discover how to write your own. Finally, you'll take everything you've learned and apply it to The Origin of Kiichi, a full-length instrumental track composed by Matt exclusively for Modern Metal Guitar Technique. This challenging piece will push your technique, test your endurance, and give you the confidence to play like a metal guitar pro. Along the way you'll receive Matt's tips on composition and explore the potential of dual guitar harmonies, inspired by Iron Maiden and Megadeth.
Every exercise, riff, and performance piece is written in standard notation and TAB, and comes with free downloadable audio tracks, so you can hear exactly how it should sound.
