mhskeide17th October 2009Hi Jonathan!
Is it just me, or is there some notes missing in vid 2-3? I think I know where and which notes it is, but in case any other students should be troubled with it, would you mind take a look
And as defense if I`m wrong and making a fool of myself, I`m a bit tired after 11 hours work and almost no coffein ![]()
mhskeide17th October 2009
I`ve already found out that I was just being out of time on vid 3! But I definetely think there is missing a B in bar 2, vid 2 ![]()

Hello lovers of the secrets of the guitar! We are back to play and study a very important genre, intervening in the world of modern guitar. I refer to "Hard Rock". This became an epoch marking style for teens. Guns N 'Roses, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, etc. Guitarists such as in Mr. Big, Extreme, Van Halen, Withesnake, (etc.) for the years 80 to 90.
From the bands I named, the guitarists were all prominent figures, fulfilling an important role and providing an image to the band (not to mention their hair cuts, tight pants, shoulder pads, etc).
If we think about where this genre began, we must go back to Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc. Bands of strong creative Riff's, a major element in Hard Rock! We can also see that most of these bands and guitarists are really good, maybe, in some other areas, this did not occur.
In this lesson I use a sound with a good gain, (Messa boogie preamp simulator and a gain similar to that of an OD-2), delay and reverb to make a sound with sustain, as this area set the trend with these powerful guitars.
Chords:
Bm (RIFF)
Bm - G - Em - F # - Bm
