Hey mate, sorry for not answering you sooner, I was out of town giggin.
This question has perfect sense. You have to pick the A grace note with the E note on the low E string, and then move on to Bb. In fact that grace not is practically just a fast hammer on. The way you can practice it is to first very slowly pick both E and A open strings and then just hammer on the Bb. As soon as you speed it up it will sound like a grace note. I hope this helps mate. Ask freely if you have any more troubles, I'm here to help. Cheers.

Hey,
Thx for all the great lessons. I trying for the first time to record some songs (i finally managed to install cubase and Ezdrummer on my computer). My goal is to make some (trash)metal songs but i decided to take step by step. I'm practicing your songwriting (songwriting lessons link) lessons with the scale and chords you use and try with different also with chords and scale. It works great and i'm starting to get some songs. Are there other chord progressions I can use? I now a few blues progressions but are there common rock or metal progressions? If you find the time: a other songwritinglesson (with the background information) would be great Thx Pio Jr. This post has been edited by Pio Jr.: Oct 15 2008, 03:40 PM -------------------- Guitartonemaster.com - +2500 free guitar jam- & backing tracks -

Hey man, thanks for kind words, I 'm very glad my lesson could help you in any way.
Regarding chord progressions, there are various combinations that you can use. Since you play metal, you might wanna keep things simple, by not playing the third in the chord, instead just play all power chords. For example in songwriting lesson, instead of doing whole chords, you can only fret root and fifth. I think the good way to learn chord progressions is to analyze the songs you like. Look on the internet some song, find out what chords are being used and figure out the key the song is in. Then you can see what chord has what roman numeral, as I teach in the lesson. You can basically take the roman numbers from a lesson and write them down on a paper like this: I - V - V - VI - II - V - V - IV I - III - IV - V - II - III - IV - V or ANY kind of pattern you can think of, there are a lot of combinations. Then you play then on guitar and see if they sound good. If they sound good, then you got yourself a good progression to base your song on. If you do find some progression and you aren't quite sure how what theory lies behind it, you can post it here and I will try to help as much as I can mate.

Regarding that lesson, it's a raking noise, where I simply strumm the strings above the fretted one, and mute them. I use both right and left hand, depending on the situation and position, you can try both ways really. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

That's cool man, just keep the precision, and speed will come very fast. Also don't be concerned if you can't play the whole piece in full speed. I can't play a lot of things full speed and with precision, but with the right kind of feel, and if you play it smart, it will sound good. Many times when I can't play some part exactly, I tried to change it a bit, so it is easier to play, I don't find this like cheating, just don't wanna loose motivation to play the piece that's all. So if you ever find yourself in a similar position, try to do the same, regardless of the piece.

But I just can't get ex. 7 right. Would you mind loading up a little video explaining it? Because I'm afraid I wouldn't understand it just by getting told how to do to it.
