Im trying to learn some trivium and when get to this type of rhythm used i get stuck, can you guys help me please its the rhythm at the end of the chorus of Entrance of the Conflagration:
9--99-9-99-9-99-9-99
7--77-7-77-7-77-7-77
Pm---------------------
Is there a special way of playing this type of rhythm ?
Thank you if you can help.

Straight down strokes, thats about all I can say.

is there a certain name for this rhythm ?
thanks

Get powertabs or guitar pro and see how the rhythm actually goes, musically. If you don't know musical notation, then it's time to learn.

no.
get powertab like that other guy suggested.
it tells you the actual length of the notes (eighth note, sixteenth note, etc) as opposed to text tabs, which are shit and dont tell you anything about the song.
that part right there... if its what i think it its (the bridge with the little nevermore-sounding diminished thing on the end) then it's straight 8th notes and goes like this:
CODE1------------------|------------------|------------------|
2------------------|------------------|------------------|
3------------------|------------------|------------------|
4-9-----9------9---|---9-----9---8----|-9-----9------9---|
5-7-----7------7---|---7-----7---6----|-7-----7------7---|
6---0-0---0-0----0-|-0---0-0---0------|---0-0---0-0----0-|
all the notes on the 6th string (low e) are palm muted
and then the last bar goes like this:
CODE1--------------------------------|
2--------------------------------|
3--------------------------------|
4--------------------------------|
5--------10--------------13------|
6-0-8-11----11-8-0-11-14----14-0-|
the rhythm for this is eighth note triplets, which means you would play a group of 3 eighth notes for every beat instead of 2 like you would be in the other bars.
it's kind of hard to explain, especially to someone who doesnt understand that kind of stuff.
get powertab though, i'l guarentee you'll learn it in no time.
Corey does straight down eighth notes in this lessson, and then does a different rhythm like 2 sixteenth notes and then an eighth note but fast.
Watch Fig.5
Im not dumb i have PTE and i know how the part goes, its just a different type of rhythm
