Hi GMC'ers! This time the lesson is based on Nuno Bettencourt's style. He´s one of my favorite players because of his notion of tempo and his feeling both in solos and rhythmical bases. I strongly recommend that those who don´t know him listen to all of his material.

This lesson is simpler in regards to harmony and has the classic blues cadenza. Nuno´s style involves a lot of hammer-ons from nowhere, which he then mutes by hard-pressing the spot where the strings come out on the bridge using the side of his palm. Try this with simple pentatonic patterns and open strings.
Rock on!!

Tuning :
* One Step Down
* D - G - C - F - A - D
(From thick to thin string)

Key:
A 5

Chord Progression:
A5 - D5 - E5 - A7

Techniques:
* Bends
* Hammers-ons
* Palm Muting
* Scale Runs

If you have any questions:
* Give feedback (upper-right-corner)
* My Personal Board
* General Forum

Enjoy it!/ Chowy

Scales:
A Minor Pentatonic

E Mixolydian
