Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
When I read the descriptions, I thought it was going to be a palm-muted 16th note part, but what's on the recording doesn't really have a name. It's just a rhythm.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 7:08amYeah, that's what I call it, too, especially when I hear it in metal.Silent Majority wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 6:22amI've nicknamed it "chugging" but I don't know if it has a name that exists outside my head.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Dec 2017, 8:31pmQuestion for the musicians here (more precisely the gee-tarists): Is there a term for the guitar thing (the more prominent part in the mix) that Geordie is doing?

So if you were in a band, you'd tell the guitarist to play what?

Yeah or I'd play it for him on my bass to show him what I'm talking about. If he was the type, I might notate the rhythm for him though.Heston wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 3:56pmYou can't.

I think I'd write it as staccato 8th notes on the one, the & of two, and the four, repeated.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Thats not chugging, this is chugging
Also from urban dictionary
Also from urban dictionary
chugging
In the UK - drinking game for naked guys, usually rugby-football players. Needs three guys. One guy bends over with his ass in the air. Another pours a can of beer from high up so the beer trickles down the first guy's ass crack and over his balls. Meanwhile a third guy holds his head between the first guy's thighs and the beer goes in his mouth and he drinks it.
