HOW TO WRITE METALCORE

http://soundcloud.com/robertanderson-2/tutorial-song

Hi there! I'm pinkie guy and this is my tutorial on writing metalcore music.
A great way to start a song is with a simple arpeggiated guitar pattern. Once you have your pattern, pan it to the left 100%, and we're then going to duplicate it (I MEANT RE-RECORD IT) and pan that copy to the right.
This effect is called double track. We're going to do that with all the guitar in this song. We've now applied some effects to the guitars to make them brighter, and sit more in the mixing. Next we're going to add some rhythm guitars.
The chord structure in this song is a very common Metalcore Chord structure; that is I III VI V.
Now that we have our chords sorted, we're going to add some bass and a lead guitar line. You can add vocals here too.
The next thing to add is some distorted guitar to pick up the mood as a whole. You can add cymbal and bass drum hits to bring those guitars out.
Drums in metal are very important, as they help bring out the feel.
- Snare on 2+4: Dance Feel
- Snare on offbeat: Fighting Feel
- Snare on every beat: Purposive Feel
- Snare everywhere: Heavy/Manic Feel.

HOW TO COOK CHILLI CON CARNE

http://soundcloud.com/robertanderson-2/a-brief-tutorial-on-cooking

1)Heat oil in a pan. Cook 1 onion, 1-2 stalks of celery and 3 cloves of garlic for 5 minutes or until soft. (PRO TIP: Adding carrot is great here as well)

2) Add a half kilo of mince to the pan, cook on high until brown. Finely seperated mince is the way to go. None of that meatball shit.

3) Add 1 teaspoon chilli powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon freshly cut oregano. Mix thoroughly.

4) Add 400g (one standard can) of crushed tomato, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and 1/2 cup of water. Bring the mix to the boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. If you've increased your serving amounts, add extra water, as it will boil off over time.

5) After 30 minutes, add 1 can of red kidney beans, 1 teaspoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.

6) Cook for 5-10 minutes on low heat before serving. Best served with a Sombrero on your head.

I FORGOT TO MENTION THE BEANS IN THE AUDIO... WORST CHEF EVER

My next tutorial could be 'A Brief Tutorial To Specifically Answer Vers' Question' if you want?

Haha, would be awesome. When I write drums, I just write something cool and complicated, so actually knowing what I'm doing would be a plus! xD
