That song is a perfect example! By the way, has anyone checked out the dual lead from Symphony of Destruction? It’s a powerhouse show of technique.
Yes! And while we’re discussing techniques, I’d love to see some video breakdowns of these guitar parts. Seeing it live can inspire so many players!
I agree! Watching those techniques in action really makes a difference. I once tried to emulate Murray’s style and let me tell you, it’s much harder than it looks—especially keeping up with his speed!
Haha, trust me, we’ve all been there! It’s like you’re a truck and he’s a sports car! But keeping your motivation high with these attempts is what really counts.
In conclusion, guitar duos in metal not only rely on technique but also on creativity and collaboration. It’s always interesting to reflect on how different players contribute to the overall sound!
I think one of the most underrated guitar duos in metal is Mark Tremonti and Eric Friedman of Alter Bridge. Their harmonization and technical precision are top-notch, yet they don’t always get the recognition they deserve compared to other duos.
That’s a great pick! I would add Dave Mustaine and Marty Friedman from Megadeth. Their synergy on ‘Rust in Peace’ stands out, and they had such a unique sound together.
Have you guys checked out the duo of Matthew Greiner and guitarist AJ Channer from August Burns Red? Their guitar work is phenomenal, especially during solos. It’s surprising how often they fly under the radar.
Absolutely! Their heavy riffs mixed with melodic lines make them stand out in the metalcore scene. They definitely deserve more love.
What about the duo of Anders Björler and Niklas Sundin from Dark Tranquillity and At the Gates? Their work in the Swedish metal scene is iconic yet often overlooked. Pure brilliance.
Yes! Their melodies are haunting, and when they play together, it’s like a masterclass in guitar work. So underrated!
I’ve got to throw in the names of Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King from Slayer. They might be more recognized, but their unique styles melded so well, it always amazes me how they created some of the heaviest riffs together.

Really? I feel like they get a lot of love, but I see your point. It’s interesting how some classic duos seem to get overshadowed by newer talent.

How about Jesse Leach and Adam D. from Killswitch Engage? Their dynamic is insane, especially live! They bring a great balance of melody and aggression.
Great shout! I love how they create an atmosphere during performances. Sometimes in discussions, they don’t get mentioned, but their impact is massive.

I think we can all agree that we need to spread the word about these less well-known duos! How did we let them slip under our radar? We should start a playlist or something!
Haha, I love that idea! A ‘Hidden Gems of Metal Guitar Duos’ playlist would definitely expose more fans to these amazing pairings.
