Diego Budicin27th November 2020This is awesome
Has a bit of thank you scientist/coheed vibes with those chords, which I always looove. And that metal line is so awesome in the middle. Playing at 50% speed for now, haven't played in quite some time, but this is a perfect opportunity to get back
Thanks man!! Yeah, I love "Thank you scientist"!! I'm honored that this etude helped you to come back to your guitar path!! These lessons are mean to do that

- Diego Budicin10th November 2020OMG, Are you goin' crazy now? :-D
Ahahaah that’s because of the lockdown mood, Master!! :-DThis is an awesome lesson and I love that insane beginning. Also, the picking direction that you used over the power chords, will give us some headaches but this makes things more challenging.
Thanks a lot Monica!! Didn’t mean to create headaches ahah but I’m glad to read that this would help somehow
