New Genres and their Weapon of Choice   no comments

Posted at 2:18 pm in Learn To Play Guitar

There are lots of new genres today that appeared like mushrooms. Almost all of them are from the ROCK family or genre. Most of them are just combination of two or several genres. Some are cool, some are ridiculous. Let me give you some examples of the new genres that I’m talking about and their Guitar player’s weapon of choice.

Crabcore/Metalcore

Basically, it’s called Metalcore, a new breed of metal heads that focuses on breakdowns. It’s really cool to look at, the synchronized head banging and stuff. Many critics gave raised eyebrows on this but for me, It’s all good. now, the term crabcore, started with the band ATTACK ATTACK! because when they do the metalcore break downs, they have this “crab-like” stance. some liked it, some puked on it. It’s all good as long as were all having fun. The guitar preffered for this genre is one that has double humbucker, can be tuned down low as hell and ideal for the heavy break down. IBANEZ is the name.

Nu Metal

It’s the new brand of bad ass metal ,fusing punk, hardcore, metal, electronica, jazz and hiphop. Talk about mixed genres. Example is Deftones, Faith no MOre, Limp Bizkit and others. Guitar of choice: Anything heavier than the usual heavy. I’m talking about 7 strings and 8 strings tuned down lower than hell. IBANEZ and ESP’s are the weapon of choice here. Perfect for the grind and groove of heaviness.
