  Wow this is a very effective arrangement Ramiro!
- Bogdan Radovic28th June 2011
  This is one of my favorite composition tricks. So many hit songs use it.
- Ivan Milenkovic28th June 2011
  Yes, this is a great concept if you find one awesome riff - it's always good to try to make a whole song from it, and see how it turns out.

Hi GMC'ers! Welcome to this new lesson about using the same material for the verse and the chorus. I'm sure you can recall many songs that use this “compositional trick”. The idea is that you see how the same base element can be used for two different parts and still having some very different sections.

The techniques and elements used in this lesson are:

* Alternate picking
* Double stops
* Octaves
* Open string riffing

I hope you'll enjoy the lesson as much as I did making it!

Cheers!
