All that stuff will come in time my friend!!! Sit back and listen to one of your favorite songs and even count out the riffs one by one how many time it's played and try to even mimic it and this should help you get the feel of writing and structuring your own songs!! It helped me. I learned old Obituary and Slayer songs and would try to come up with stuff that was similar and before I knew it I had my own songs. Probably not the best at first but try it and see what happens!!

been playing guitar for 26 years now, I remember very well the learning curve I had etc. I used to be in a band before Darkthrone as well, but they were hard to get to the rehearsing place. So when I joined forces with Fenriz and Darkthrone in March '88 things went from so-so to practice almost every day.

I'm all self taught, I'm not shining on the really fast playing anymore, but consider myself to be on top of mid-paced rock/heavy/black/punk stuff. But the more you practice, the better you become right? Guess I'm getting some serious hours on the "Resistor" soon. Gotta say evilurnn666, the years just passing by, like real horrorshow heh. What guitar are you mainly playing? you have an IKON or waiting for one?

i think one things we all have in common here is we like old-school DM.
Even the 13 year olds that used to post here, I was quite impressed on their knowledge of the old greats.
I've only been actually playing for about 10 years. I started out as a drummer back in 1991, I'm actually a better drummer than a guitar player. I only started playing guitar because I wanted to write my own songs.
I'm obsessed with the stockholm death metal sound (this includes you, early Ted!) the very early Gothenburg sound, the early Florida scene with the typewriter bass drums, raw black metal, keyboard black metal, some industrial, old gothic rock, old gothic metal(not the awful beauty and the beast kind, or anything with the dreadful Liv Kristine in it) , anything doom or doom-inspired, and the last few years i really got into funeral doom. Oh I also like finnish death metal, very weird and dark. I don't like prog or anything TOO technical, unless its Cynic or Atheist.

Don't let Elektrokutioner hear you say you like Finnish Death metal!! Especially anything from Lasse Pyykko!!! ala Hooded Menace , and Vacant Coffin!! lol.. I started out with thrash of course , bands like Dark Angel , Kreator , Sodom ,Possessed , Slayer old Sepultura and Destruction. Then bands like Death , Repulsion , Massacre , Master , Bolt Thrower , Napalm Death and I could go on for fucking DAYS!!!! I think Chuck from Death is by biggest influence for death metal though. I like old Death alot better than the newer stuff too!!!!

I'd say my foundation is classic rock. That led me to metal, which led to the heavy metal genres. I consider myself pretty well rounded when it comes to music. The playlist on my Ipod is all over the map! Mozart, Dr.Dre, David Bowie, Pavoratti, Led Zep, Johnny Cash, Sisters of Mercy, Kraftwerk, Bill Withers, Venom, Rage against the machine, Bolt Thrower, Boris Christoff, Wumpscut, Bob Marley, Blood for Blood, Cradle of Filth..etc...etc..etc.. every other song is death or black metal. drives people NUTS, but I listen to everything. Nobody likes my music, but I don't care.
