Is there a "chug" book?

Don’t try to mimic it. If you angle your pick like most of us, it’ll be a lot of effort to switch for no real reason. Just make sure the edge of your pick is digging in, not the flat side.

In addition to everything else, I'll add that when recording you should use less gain and double or triple track your parts to get them to sound huge but clear.
My trick (which probably lots of people use) for making single note riffs sound big is to triple track, pan the two worst takes hard left and right and turn them down maybe 9 dB; leave the best take on full up the middle. Having the other two takes turned down means you don't get weird phasing effects if your timing isn't perfect, which can be an issue with traditional double tracking.

I angle mostly standard way, but from 88 until 2004 I did it the opposite like Marty, Ola, and for me a better reference would be Chuck from Death.
Since switching, which was really only hard for the first few weeks, I hold the pick like Paul Gilbert teaches so that you can instantly angle either way or flat without really changing your grip. You just adjust your hand position and the amount of flex in your knuckle joints.

I was forced to use the chug. In my early days I was playing with so much stacked gain I kept my palm on the bridge to control feedback. The chug became a big part of my writing and playing.Last edited by EricCartmannn; 08-01-2021, 02:26 PM.

Didn't HP Lovecraft write of the Chugronomicon? That musty tome bound in timeworn skin and thought lost to the mists of time, which somewhere in deepest shadow awaits him who dares utter words long unspoken to unseal its sequestered gate and, shrouded in darkness, tread the murky ancient paths of arcane power beyond its veiled threshold...

Got my workout in, so now I'm chugging for the rest of the night. First it will be beer, then it will be root-fifths!
I'll be getting some help with the latter from my new black SD-1. I love the way it spikes the gain without changing the tone as much as a green ts.Last edited by dave74; 08-01-2021, 12:48 AM.
