Djent Lesson 2.0 : What is djent? and the guitar techniques to play it! #djent

We all know that Misha from Periphery and Buster from Humanity’s Last Breath stole ALL their ideas from Meshuggah…but which alien planet did Meshuggah come from? Are the members of Meshuggah actually symbiotes that feast on the brains of humans with their ultra technical groove oriented metal? Find out the answers to all your deepest, darkest djent questions here in this video! I cover a brief history of djent and how it formed out of groove and thrash metal and is also a close cousin to NÜ METAL. Then we get into the dirty details about what exactly to do with your hands when you’re just getting into metal guitar playing. This is a long one, so use the chapters to your advantage to skip around and find the parts of the video most applicable to you. As always, if you have questions, don’t hesitate to leave a comment or ask a question. It’s officially guitar study time, so get out your notebooks and your metronomes, let’s turn science and reality on it’s head!
