"I was five when I first heard Eleanor Rigby - my mum played it in her car. T-Rex's Metal Guru was the first record I saved up to buy with my pocket money. Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon was the first album that I connected with so strongly that I just had to have it. I played it so many times that I wore the grooves out. We should all listen to Stevie and look at life in his magical way. He will go down in history as an inspirational figure. Elton John's Captain Fantastic was the first album I bought. If you're feeling depressed then Miles Davis' Sketches Of Spain will make you even more blue. Marvin Gaye's music was a seminal part of my youth and ...

Metal guru Rusty Cooley: killer sequences.(Intermediate): Magazine article from: Guitar Player April 1, 2004 700+ words
To make scalar, stepwise riffs and runs more interesting, many guitarists apply sequences to scales. But I find that many of the traditional patterns guitarists employ sound too in-the-pocket and predictable. This is especially true of four-note sequences, which often produce that stale,


Metal guru Rusty Cooley: hellacious arpeggios.(Advanced): Magazine article from: Guitar Player Gold, Jude July 1, 2004 700+ words
When it comes to arpeggiating chords, few approaches are more efficient than sweeping. On a standard 6-string, you can hit six notes in a row with blinding speed by simply raking the pick across the strings. Not much different from a single strum, a sweep takes a minimal amount of energy from your


Metal guru.: News wire article from: Europe Intelligence Wire May 27, 2004 700+ words
(From Leicester Mercury) Modernist, post-modernist, abstracted, architectural, sculptural, geometric and poetic. Art critics have reached for all these terms and more in their quest to sum up the metalwork of Michael Rowe. However, their efforts to reduce his style into a single typology are


Metal guru: Rusty Cooley: machine gun harmonics.(INTERMEDIATE): Magazine article from: Guitar Player Gold, Jude January 1, 2006 700+ words
Maybe you've heard the sound before--a zillion muted harmonics spraying forth from a guitar amp like flurries of lights reflecting off a mirror ball. Most people associate this sound with Eddie Van Halen [a prime example occurs 2:08 into the song "Somebody Get Me a Doctor," from 1979's Van Halen


Metal Guru: video game death licks.(Brief article): Magazine article from: Guitar Player Cooley, Rusty May 1, 2005 700+ words
At a music store where I used to teach, coworkers would walk by my door and joke, "Rusty, what are you doing in there--playing video games?" That's because I'd be blazing through an arsenal of zany licks I came up with that sound a bit like Galaga, Centipede, Dig-Dug, and other classic arcade


Metal guru: Rusty Cooley: Phrygian domination.(LESSONS: ADVANCED): Magazine article from: Guitar Player Gold, Jude January 1, 2007 700+ words
BECAUSE IT BECAME SUCH A CLICHE OF '80S hair metal, and because many people associate it with the legions of shameless Eddie Van Halen wannabes that appeared immediately after the release of Van Halen's debut album, the two-hands-on-the-fretboard technique known as tapping has certainly gotten


Metal guru: Rusty Cooley: single-string speed-picking.(LESSONS: BEGINNER)(Brief...: Magazine article from: Guitar Player Gold, Jude June 1, 2006 700+ words
WHETHER YOU'RE PLAYING RIFFS, MELODY LINES, RHYTHM PARTS, OR SOLOS, WHEN IT comes to shred there's probably no more useful technique than that of fast and accurate alternate picking. But it's important to note that if you can't play fast on one string, you're certainly not going to be able to do so


Metal guru Rusty Cooley: the pentatonic workout.(Intermediate): Magazine article from: Guitar Player Gold, Jude March 1, 2004 700+ words
Metal is a lot different today than it was in the '80s. Back then, things were brutal. If you didn't know how to solo, you weren't even looked upon as a guitar player. It was the whole "if you only play rhythm, you're only half a man" mentality. Metal has become more inclusive, but at a price.
