Death metal is the second easiest genre of metal to play. Its just barre chords and the riffs are just random atonal notes with random pinch harmonics in-between.

i would say you would be fucked if you wanted to learn like progressive metal or power metal or virtuoso thrash like megadeth, you need to be talented and started guitar in your early teens at least. Traditional metal is a little bit easier like if you work really really hard you could learn iron maiden songs and their solos

but yeah im a literal fucking retard that started guitar at 21 and never took a single lesson or watched a single tutorial i just played endlessly because i autistically like the feel of plucking strings like a retard and I learned how to play death metal really easily. Other genres of music are way less forgiving especially genres with less or zero distortion because you cant hide in your mistakes as much
