Well guys, welcome to another lesson. This time, one very very special for me, and for many people around the world.
The first X-Japan lesson on the GMC screen. So I hope you find interesting this lesson beside if you know X-Japan or not.
This lesson, is exclusively for Hide, from my heart!
Hide (Matsumoto Hideto) was the guitarist of this awesome band and one of the best metal/rock artist from japan ever!
I hope you enjoy this tribute, as I enjoyed composing it.
You´ll find more info about Hide and X-Japan in my board. HERE.
About the lesson, I´ve composed this lesson exclusively based on the song Silent Jealousy. Here you´ll find some fast riff, nice melodies, and a X-japan atmosphere through the whole lesson.
Take this lesson step by step and ask whatever you need!
