Piotr Kaczor30th December 2008I agree with berko and Nazgul. Great job Carlos!
fkalich30th December 2008I 4th it, the lessons that interest me anymore are those that demonstrate a band. Either that or it is a nice composition/sound, even when simple. Also, new picture is good in my opinion Carlos.
Bogdan Radovic30th December 2008Great in style lesson Carlos!! Good to have you back on the big screen! 
mhskeide30th December 2008Great work Carlos:D

Marcus Siepen30th December 2008hmmm Fireflight? Have to check them out, great lesson
Lian Gerbino30th December 2008great lesson Carlos! very modern & cool licks at the same time!
SonofDestiny30th December 2008Great lesson Carlos! I really like the fact that you're doing some lessons on mainstream bands Do you know lostprophets? I think you'll like them.
I have one suggestion though. On the lead parts you sound a bit sloppy (I have noticed this in more lessons). Maybe you need a bit more distortion on them or maybe something's wrong with the way your guitar is set up. I dunno...
I know I'm not Steve Vai myself, but I thought I'd be honest, cause honesty is what's going to help you. I don't expect anyone on GMC to understand that though.

He Carlos,
Like your style, Awesome lesson
I know Kutless, DC Talks, Jars of Clay, Audio Adrenaline
ok! thanks for your comment! Kutless is great!But, I do not know these other bands (Jars of Clay, Audio Adrenaline)! Thanks for saying them to me, now I am checking them!
Excellent lesson Carlos! Been trying to work this one out for a few days now. Getting along nicely.
If I could ask for one thing, it would be a nice metronome beat-in before the backing track starts. Now it starts so fast that a beginner like me can't really keep up from pressing play on the backing track to placing my fingers on the fretboard
Cheers!
Carlos Carrillo9th January 2009ok!MikaelL !! Im check this! Thanks!!
Fireflight is an American Christian Post-grunge band. In this lesson we will study their particular style.
Hello Friends of GMC! Today we will study Fireflight’s Particular style! But before, a bit of information of the band!
Fireflight is an American Christian Post-grunge band. The band originated in Eustis, Florida in 1999. The band is signed by Flicker Records. They have played in Shout fest and have been featured on The Scars Remain tour with Disciple, Family Force 5, & Decyfer Down. While touring, they wrote their second album Unbreakable and released their first single off the album "Unbreakable".
For their first show, they didn't even have a name for the band, after thinking a while, Dawn suggested the name "Fireflight" because it sounded cool. They released their debut album The Healing of Harms in 2006 with two #1 singles "You Decide" and "Waiting".
The song "You Decide", featuring Josh Brown of Day of Fire, was the top request at TVU music television in August 2006. The song was the second most played song on Christian Rock radio stations.
During another extensive year of touring, the band was experiencing an emotional roller coaster while writing their album "Unbreakable". Wendy describes on their Myspace how stressful and intense writing the album was:
“It almost felt like things were out of control,” says Dawn. “We’d gone through a difficult year as a band with a lot of emotional ups and downs. We basically lived together in a van while writing the new album, and that put us in a pressure cooker. All the stresses were magnified because you’re completely out of your comfort zone, and it really does crank up the intensity of the writing. We poured all of our hope, sorrow, anger, dreams and fears into the music.”
This lesson is based in the song “Unbreakable” it is one of my favorite’s songs since it is the more complete for the study of Fireflight style.
In this lesson the guitars are the principal base; the arrangements of octaves are very used in this style. The tuning is down 1/2 step D#G#C#F#A#D#:
The study of this style is very important to create your own songs. We'll use some techniques as Palm muting and down picking in this lesson.
Audio Settings: to record this lesson I have used the POD X3 live.
Analog Chorus: Depth 66% Mix: 35%
Analog Delay with modulation: 413ms Mix: 43% feedback: 43%
Nothing is impossible! Feel the music and God bless you!
