Hi everybody, welcome to another lesson here on GMC.
This one took me a bit longer, not because it would be so difficult, I was just a bit undecided about which way to go. Originally it started out as a tapping lesson, from there it turned into a kind of exercise about hammering on/pulling off, but since a pure exercise was not really what I had in mind in the end it turned into this little solo, I hope you will like it.
Techniques you will find here are hammering on/pulling off, alternate picking, economy picking and tapping, and if you want to vary this lesson a bit you can also try to play the opening part with alternate picking instead of hammer ons.
Whatever way you want to go, have fun practicing.
Marcus
