Black metal can. Thrash and Death cannot.

no but i'm not an expert on black metal riffing but it sounds like there is a hell of alot of tremolo picking so i was guessing they must be reliant on the low e

Well in theory it could, so I voted yes-but in reality probably not.

Ambient BM doesn't rely on power chords, don't you agree?

Doesn't anything rock/blues based rely on power chords?

i do agree because mainly because the guitar is pushed to the side and there are a few modes and scales that give very nice ambient effects

frigid symohony i beleive you are right but many blues/rock artists rarely rely on power chords

I have only recently been teaching myself black metal guitar and most of it is speed picking single notes and power chords.

I would love to hear a Thrash Metal song written without using a single power chord or open string run.

dude that is what i would truly call progressive thrash metal
i mean there are few minor chords and scales that would make it work

A lot of black metal relies on simple two-note "chords", besides power chords to make simple phrases. (Also sounds good if you play certain intervals with extreme amounts of distortion)

I tried to make some brakk metal sounding stuff on my guitar but I couldn't get the tone right.

That does work! My guitar sounds like I'm doing cruel things to it, especially when I play the major 7th instead of the octave on a power chord :3

Major 7ths aren't really Black Metal, though. :(

I like the 1-3-7 voicing better myself, especially for the bass.

I'm having trouble playing stuff that sounds repetitive and droney; too used to playing with some kind of groove.

i was thinking would simple chords like Em and Am make a pretty brutal sound because i can't tell with the current state of my amp

Em makes me think of post-rock and whenever I play it, I feel the urge to play it quietly and then slowly get louder.
