Re: pinkie vs bass players (6 replies, posted in Guitar Techniques)
Yes and no. Not all bass players use their pinky (that of course depends on the player), but those that do do so because yes, it allows for more fluid playing on fret boards that usually require you to move your hand a whole one to two frets while playing without use of the pinky.
IMO it's a true skill; gotta build up strength in the pinky

The only thing i came across of is the use of power chords.
Well I think the best way to break this down is from a writing point of view. When I sit back and contemplate where to begin and the sorts of riffs and style to use when conjuring up a new metal tune there's alot that goes through my mind. I think:
-Tuning, more specifically downtuning
-Shredding, we're getting into "wrecking ball" sweeps, vibrato, and harmonics--downstrumming, palm muting
-Chords, writing riffs and solos off of pentatonic sequences and scales
-Power chords of course, i.e. diads if you're into theory
Have these in your arsenal for sure
