Hello all,

I am after some advice and guidance on Slipknot playing styles.
From what I can gather from research so far, most tracks are played using heavily down-tuned instruments (drop-C Drop-B Drop-A).
This in its self poses a question. Is it possible to down tune a double locking tremolo system to drop-C (and lower) without having to have the tremolo opposing springs adjusted to counter balance the reduced string tension?

What picking styles should I be practicing? I believe I have heard tremolo picking used in some of the tracks but are not sure of the other styles. I can hear a fair bit of palm mutting going on as well.

If there are any lessons which you feel would benefit please point me in the right direction.

Slipknot have a fairly unique sound that I would like to try and recreate or at least have a go!

Thanks in advance :)
