Mudbone23rd October 2010I've been waiting for a lesson like this, great tune man.
For some reason when I click on the Guitar Pro tabs I get the tabs for Lians Trivium lesson, which is also a great lesson.

Mudbone23rd November 2010I finally scheduled this into my practice routine, loving every second of it
I seriously been looking for a lesson exactly like this forever. I fully intend on incorporating add9 chords into my playing. By the way, in regards to the GP tabs, its the correct one now
sorry for the long response.
Zsolt Galambos25th November 2010No problem, man, glad you like it ![]()




Hi GMC'ers! In this lesson I've tried to catch the spirit of early Metallica ballads and compose a Power Metal ballad. I've mainly used add9 chords. These chords tend to sound exotic, and the minor add9s have a sad feel, especially when combined with open strings.
The song is fairly easy to play, although some chords require bigger fret hand stretches. Remember to relax your hands before trying these stretches, and if you feel uncomfortable, warm up your hands further. The distortion part is however very easy to play, and you should be able to play it regardless of your level.
Techniques:
* Add9 chords
* Open stings/ Chords - exotic tone
* Riffs
Tuning D:
D - G - C - F - A - D
(from thick to thin string)
Have fun! / Zsolt
