What do you play right after you plug in? - Page 2

BIG ND SWEATY · 03-23-2012, 11:27 AM

i warm up with aspirations by after the burial just to loosen up my picking hand

GXPO · 03-23-2012, 11:33 AM

Normally I warm up then play the fun twiddly bit towards the end of the Fade to Black solo. I also recently started using the warm ups from John Petrucci's "Rock Discipline". Trying to make my practice sessions more productive. Nice thread.

CrowCore777 · 03-23-2012, 11:53 AM

Xenochrist solo by the band The Faceless! and then I play my own songs

bradthelegend · 03-24-2012, 03:06 AM

Lately, it's been the Deftones for me. I've got 4 guitars, so it all depends.

Drop C# - Headup, Minerva
Drop C - Beware, Back to School, Digital Bath, or anything on White Pony
B Standard - Rocket Skates
G# Standard - Hexagram

Remission · 03-24-2012, 03:23 AM

Any drop tuning? Riffs I've come up with (1 of 3).

Std tuning (e, d, c, etc.)? Snowblind by sabbath or crystal mountain by death, depending how ambitious I am.

Ninjahat · 03-24-2012, 03:38 AM

Find a nice comfortable place and play...WITH MYSELF DURHURHUR! But in all srsness, I play bleed/various licks/sweeps or jam on something I'm writing for band or for TAFE.

broj15 · 03-24-2012, 04:22 AM

usually a little simple minor scale low string riffage and some 3 and 4 string sweeps, alternating between major and minor to dial in the syncronization between my hands. Then i like to go into some syncopated stuff that requires both hands to work together to mute everything properly to get it all as tight as i can.

myrtorp · 03-24-2012, 04:55 AM

I usually start up with some chugging, be it my 6, 7 or 8! Own ideas or other songs.
One song I like to play is Atrocity evolution by Amoral!

When Im warmed up I do some Luguta taps.

Alberto7 · 03-24-2012, 06:00 AM

Usually the very first thing I do is chug on my low B for about 5 seconds to see how I like my tone that day. After I'm done checking my tone and adjusting sitting position, I start warming up the right hand. Lately, I have two licks that I've been using to warm up the picking hand:

One of them is the lick in the chorus of the song "Sioux City Sarsaparilla" by Alexi Laiho. That one lick is super fun to play, and it's pretty challenging for the right hand. I only got around to mastering it about 2 weeks ago.

The other lick I use to warm up are the alternate-picked arpeggios from the beginning of "The Glass Prison" by Dream Theater. Now THAT is some challenging stuff... I still can't play it up to speed, but I'm getting there.

After that I start playing whatever pops into my mind; be it some noodling around, original riffs that I've made, or songs that I know. These days I've been playing a lot of Nevermore (Born, in particular) and Jeff Loomis stuff.

And I think I forgot how to play 6 strings

every time I grab one I don't know what to play

.

Also, +1 for luguta taps.

kevdes93 · 03-24-2012, 08:22 AM

I love jammin out to deftones songs

The Uncreator · 03-24-2012, 08:28 AM

I just play without thinking. Thats usually how I come up with a new riff.

JosephAOI · 03-24-2012, 09:33 AM

My 7, usually some Born Of Osiris stuff or one of my riffs.

My 6, some Periphery or Born Of Osiris

ImBCRichBitch · 03-24-2012, 09:44 AM

Warm up with some solos (easy ones) like Hearts Burst Into Fire by BFMV, Abigail by King Diamond, assorted Seether solos, jam off some Slipknot and MRH, then i just play random chords/power chords/barre chords till i find a cool riff

youshy · 03-24-2012, 10:01 AM

Always starts with 'chugga chugga' to see if everything is right, then few mine riffs and some random scales wanking.

Maniacal · 03-24-2012, 10:08 AM

Arpeggios as fast as possible, for about 15 minutes

Relinquish69 · 03-24-2012, 10:20 AM

start up with them mind blowing chromatics. after that it's just random chugga chugga.

7stringDemon · 03-24-2012, 10:23 AM

Behemoth - The Nephilim Rising

Don't care what guitar. Don't care what tuning. It's just an all around bad ass riff!

Mprinsje · 03-24-2012, 10:27 AM

Born from pain - Rise or Die

or kyuss-green machine

MrPfloyd · 03-24-2012, 11:25 AM

Alice in Chains - Rooster is the one i usually go with. more for tuning reasons and warming up

Enselmis · 03-24-2012, 12:20 PM

I have no routine... I just play whatever was in my head and made me decide to pick up the guitar.

leandroab · 03-24-2012, 12:51 PM

IronGoliath · 03-24-2012, 01:03 PM

I usually play one of the riffs I've written recently as to further how cool it sounds to my ears. Sounds egotistical but it's totally practical. Currently working on a song I call Total Sensory Overload.

EtherealEntity · 03-24-2012, 01:04 PM

(6 string) X-0-0-2-3-0

Followed by the All New Materials chord X-0-11-13-10-0

That tells me if the guitar is perfectly in tune and if the gain is too high etc.

Then I'll play some chugga chugga to tell if the gain is too low.

Yeah me too I just get straight into whatever it is I'm currently working on, or the song I'm trying to learn, and let my hands warm up and sync up as I go.

It generally goes TUNE UP TUNE UP D CHORD A CHORD TUNE UP C CHORD go.
