Ramiro Delforte8th May 2009First comment ^^ Nice on Ramir! Cool intro;)
Thanx mate!Addition: you have nice texts under the lessons! It really explaines why you composed your song this way!
I always try to explain how I do what I do on the lessons and how you can think it so it can be recreated (besides the theory and other stuff)Epic
Where do you get synth sounds? What you use for that?
Oh, this sounds are not the best ones, I have a synth, a Korg N364 (there's a pic in my board with that keyboard). And in this lesson the sounds comes from the Reason 3, but if I get lucky soon I'll be doing this stuff with the Omnisphere Spectrasonics.Epic intro. Love it when it's so majestic!
Haha, it's a cool intro, really epic
These things I always wanted to do on synthesizer!.. I know where to ask help when I buy one
Oh, sure, if you have any questions about that post them on my board or send me a PM and we'll discuss about

Hi GMC'ers! This lesson has a very special surprise, it's a style that I used to play a long time ago. Actually the intro of this lesson was from a song that I composed when I was in a band called Staccato. I used to play the keyboard in that band and I came up with that epic riffing. Now I've developed the idea (I just got the intro back in that time) to some epic-progressive song.
The point of this lesson is to analyze a little about these riffs and what makes a more epic or progressive riffing into this kind of style.
The techniques used in this lesson are:
* Legato
* Alternate picking
* Sliding
* Palm muting
I hope you enjoy the lesson! :)
