RHYTHM/RIFFS LESSON.
I wrote these few riffs in the style of modern prog metal bands like Symphony X which I love. So, we are focusing mainly on a rhythm guitar with a little solo lick so that it won't be boring.

Hi mates and welcome to my new lesson! After jazzy lines which we played last time, today it is time to rock! I wrote those few riffs in the style of modern prog metal bands like Symphony X which I love. So, we are focusing mainly on a rhythm guitar with a little solo lick so that it won't be boring.
We are going to use:
- dropped D riffs,
- palm muting,
- alternate picking,
- pinch harmonics,
- vibrato
I used D minor pentatonic scale.
This is the preset I used for the POD XT live for this lesson:
Amp: MS Line 6 Big Bottom Drive 7 - Bass 5 - Middle 7 - Treble 6 - Presence 5
Cab: 4x12 2001 Treadplate
Dly: Delay Time - 90 (8th note) - Mix 20%
The lesson is available in the guitar pro 5 file, mp3 backing tracks included.
Have fun! :)
