Saw Slayer the other night on their final tour and it got me thinking... Those dudes are pretty damn old and the riffs are still super sharp. I wonder how much specific stamina you need be able to play that stuff? Kerry King aint no spring chicken, but he still totally "slays" it... ( [Blocked Image: https://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/wcf/images/smilies/cool.png] quality pun). I play a lot, but it's very far from a metal/thrash style nowdays. So.. What would happen Would my arm literally fall off? To try it I had a crack at quickly learning rhythm parts for War Ensemble. Bonkers cool tune.
Grabbed a suitably thrashy KPA profile (love this little green box!), found a guitarless YT backing track, and it was off to the races.
Spoiler.... I didn't make it. Forearm was kinda jelly when it all fell apart. Respect to the old thrashers!
