Which run Pat maybe I could help ?
I place some short and more demanding runs tu make better practise of the lesson but now "kill" the possibility for some players who will need to improve only those runs to get done with the lesson and made a next litle step to improve their playing Very nice to know You're working on it 
Patrik Berg22nd July 2013Take*
- Patrik Berg22nd July 2013
That run is really halting my tale on this one, nice work Darius
- Patrik Berg9th July 2013
love this lesson, your rock preference is showing in this metal lesson Darius
sounds awesome. - Darius Wave7th July 2013
Nava - Take as much time as needed. I tried to make something not that hard but full of different techniques used for 90's riffin'. I've added that fast run because the mechanism it's used into it, is something interesting - I really suggest to try that. It's a bit "Gilbertish" type of legato/alternate run - You foucs the strength for a few moments and than short relax on few legato notes. I advice to watch very carefully each picking hand movement and direction
theFireball - Due to some latest requests the tone settings are 100% described + plug-ins screen in the main lesson description You can try those Thank You for the tone-job appreciation 
thefireball7th July 2013Your tone is to die for!!
Nava6th July 2013 Yeah, I might give it a shot after my semester!
But that lick at 1.05-1.07...2 seconds of what I know is HARD!
There is so much in this that I really want to learn, so, I will give it a year- Darius Wave4th July 2013
Nava - You know that after Your comment unexpected will become expected but in th e unexpected moment
)))) I'll thread it like a promise of a rec take - Nava4th July 2013
