Guitar tips – Angel of Death tune
Hi friends, today we have Slayer with us to teach us the Angel of Death on a guitar. This seems difficult however, it is way easy and you would love to play it, I also have the video and I have posted it here. Just go through it, and see how to play this beautiful tune on a guitar.
Okay, this is uh Angel of Death by Slayer. Um.. anything else you uh.. you’re going to want to learn 16th note beats, which is basically pick the strings as fast as you can. Um.. just start off slow and build your speed up until you get comfortable. Maybe you start of at, like, this tempo. Then build your speed up. You know, their tempos frequently exceed uh.. 200 beats per minute, you know, lot of their songs are 200 beats per minute, I mean that’s a lot of uh…. lot of uh… lot of picking going on there. Okay. Well um.. on the intro, I’m going to show you the notes. It’s basically um.. I’ll just show you the notes that you hit, and inbet…even between each note, you’re going to pick extremely fast, with the uh.. 6th string open. Okay, um… I’ll just show you the notes, its E, to F, E to F, to F sharp, and then F, E, F, to an A, A flat. And remember, you’re going to be picking that 6th string, fast, in between each one. Okay, um.. and then the uh.. first rip .. is uh.. I’ll just show you the notes, and the you.. you remember that in between is uh.. open 6th string. Between each note.
So it’s going to be uh.. E, to uh.. c.B flat, back to an E, and then uh.. F to a G sharp or was that.. that an A flat. Yeah, A flat, I’ll call it an A flat, F to A flat, cap to the F, back to an E, to uh.. back to a B flat, then it’s going to be a F to a uh.. to a A flat, twice. You do that again. And then it’s going to go to a A to a A sharp, or a or uh…E, I’m sorry, an E flat. So here, this is what it sounds like with the open E. Okay, um.. then, uh… the interlude in between there, is , you’re going to hold down the F note, and then you’re basically just going to pick it.
And then with each finger, go up and down the, up and down the frets, you know, to the, to the uh.. 6th string, second fret, third fret, fourth fret, and then you’re going to uh.. pluck the… See I kind of do that. It goes up to the second, third, fourth, uh.. and then uh… the uh..what note is that? F sharp? Okay, and then, the next part are the uh.. kind of slow part, is um.. is see the sixth .. no, no, the seventh fret, hammer on and pull off, the eighth fret, and you’re just going to go down each fret, and go back up to the uh.. seventh and eighth fret. See how I did that? Just go down a fret, on each pluck. Now hit in the E open. Then it’s going to go uh.. sixth string, sixth fret, to uh fourth string, seventh fret, to uh..uh.. I’m sorry, fifth string seventh fret, fourth string sixth fret to the uh.. fourth string uh.. fifth fret. And then fifth string sixth fret, I’m just going to go uh.. let’s see, to the seventh and the eighth on that thin string, to the uh.. seventh fret of the uh.. fourth string, and then you’re going to go to the sixth string, uh.. ninth fret. See and uh.. that’s going to be the fifth string, tenth fret, and then to the fourth string ninth fret, fourth string eighth fret. So I’ll play it for you, slow.
Okay and then after that is um.. down the neck, uh.. basically it’s just uh.. the notes are just an E to an F, back to an E, and then to an A to a B flat. Okay, um, let’s see, the other rips, um.. what other rips are there? Then it goes into, then it goes, let’s see, under the solo, would be uh.. okay, yeah, that’s going to be an E to a B flat, to a G, back to uh.. A flat. And then it’s going to go back into that thing I showed you before. Remember, this is all under the solo, so, they switch back to fourth. And then, uh.. the higher part on that, is uh.. basically the same thing, but you’re going to go, this is what I was just showing you, but you’re going to go up to the uh.. fourth fret, and then you’re going to go to the uh.. um.. D right? yeah D. Okay, um..and then it goes back into the.. all the other rips that I’ve showed you so uh.. this helps.
