Rammikin4th November 2010Something seems wrong here. Tuned down a whole step? Is that why the tab on page 4 is messed up? Anyway this would be a lot better if it was in standard tuning.
Zsolt Galambos4th November 2010Yes, almost all my lessons are tuned down 1 step.
Michael AC12th March 2011Sounds awesome! Will have fun learning this one!
Hi GMC-ers!
In this lesson we will approach a typical 80's thrash riff with a melodic approach. Other riffs similar to these riffs can be heard in the songs of early Testament, Exodus and Slayer.
It's not that easy to combine powerful thrash riffs with melodies, a typical option would be to start with a thrashy riff and follow it by melodic licks. I also tried to build up a song with riffs that are following each other with sence, and not just drop riffs here-and-there.
In this lesson we will use the following techniques:
Riffs
Rhythms
Slides
Scales
Vibrato
For the tight sound, try to use downstrokes as much as you can.
Have fun!
