Mr T28th January 2010Great lesson! I've been practicing it for quite some time now. At the moment that 16th note string skipping lick at the end is killing me at this speed... I'm almost there though! Would love to see more of this style in the future.

Hi GMC! In this lesson we will continue working on the Southern Metal style of bands like Black Stone Cherry, Black Label Society and Pride &Glory but this time we combine it with other rocker bands with a Stoner Influence like Corrosion of Conformity, Spiritual Beggars and Down.
I noted that many of you really enjoyed my Black Stone Cherry style lesson but I haven’t found the lesson in the REC program! I decided to do an easier lesson because I’m interested in seeing how you learn and incorporate my lessons.
The lesson starts with a rocker riff composed with D Pentatonic minor scale and then a solo played over the riff where I combine D pentatonic minor with D blues scale.
Techniques:
Alternate Picking
Legato
Bending
Chicken picking
Vibrato
Pinched harmonics
Scales:
D Pentatonic minor
D blues scale
Tuning:
Dropped D (D-A-D-G-B-E)
Ok guys! Let’s start working!Gabriel.
PS: If you liked this lesson I suggest you to check Spiritual Beggars “Ad Astra” album and C.O.C’s “Deliverance”.
