Just a quick question, how long have you been playing? i ask this because one of the first types of music a person learns is metal. (usually). I dont have much advice expept know a lot of chords, (especially bar/power chords). Also, a good thing to do is just learn the metal songs that you want..either look them up on the net or buy a book.

Progressive metal (or nu metal) is stuff like papa roach, limp bizkit, linkin park etc.....
This kind of music is in a heavy transition period at the moment with it being a mix of any style you can think of.
If you want to learn some of this stuff, its certainly the way forward!

So in other words, I can just learn a few power chords and be able to play progressive metal. Just kidding! A lot of those songs by Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park have a serious groove.
Everything that you say to me . . . takes me one step closer to the edge!!!

All it takes is a little practice. You wont be able to play the whole tracks due to them containing samples and scratches, but you'll be able to learn a good portion. Anyway, its your own interpretation of the tracks.
Later!

No, you're WAAAAYYYY off on that one. The stuff you're talking about is "nu-metal". Nu-metal defined=commercial rock, MTV crap, pop-rock, rap-rock, trendy bullsh*t, garbage, false metal, or my personal favorite term for it, SH*T.
Progressive metal is stuff like Dream Theatre, Blind Guardian, Symphony X and Fates Warning.

learn to play black metal, death metal, or power metal first. examples are Lamb of God, Dimmu Borgir, Cradle of Filth, or the almighty Metallica. trust me. you will find it much easier to learn the stuff you are trying to play. keep jamming and good luck!!!

Your absolutely right, the progressive metal scene is the one that tries to push the boundaries on technical playing and generally has power metal type vocals. To play the like of Dream Theatre and Symphony X you would want to be an accomplished guitarist. These guys play any technique you can imagine plus a hell of a lot more. Only way to get to that level is to practice until you are fluent in all of the basics, then work on speed. Theory helps some pleyrs, other work on feel. A good ear is probably the most important thing of all though.
To play Limp Bizkit etc.... get a guitar, practrice power chords for about a week, then you are as talented! The tight crunch and thick sounds they achieve are 100% ProTools and editing in the studio.

yep progressive metal is very technical.. its wise to learn some theory as most of those guys like Petrucci \m/ use a lot of theory plus it helps you in learning their songs and you will know what scales, modes, progressions etc to use.. as well as getting your techniques up to scratch.. it will take a lot of practice which aint a bad thing as long as you warm up properly and so on... :cool:

If you want to learn prog-metal, Rush and Queensryche make challenging heavy music that's still accessible and relatively easy to play. Try some of their songs before moving onto more technical stuff like Symphony X.
