   Hello GMC students! Today I recorded an easy rock lesson for beginner/intermediate guitar players. This lesson would be a nice introduction to a rock song and has been composed using only A pentatonic minor scale. It sounds like 80’s hard rock bands as Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Kiss, Cinderella and it also reminds me to Led Zeppelin.
This one is a good example to show you that you don’t need to learn dozens of scales to compose amazing stuff.
It’s very important to get the perfect timing in this rhythmic lesson so I suggest you to open the guitar pro file and check the notes duration. You should also use the backing tracks to practise it over the whole band.

See You!

Gabi.-

Amarok: That's because Gabriel's playing is amazingly tasty - on top of that he has chops from hell.. Quite a combination. biggrin.gif

kekeke, good call, Kris! Gabe's chops, while coated with his own perpetually charismatic stubble from hell, like a Jimmy Page gone evil, rival even the most animated of chins--Pavel's smooth powermetal mandible included!

BTW Gabriel. I've got a question. In the first video how do u mute note on the 5th fret on the G string (its where the string skipping starts yeah?
B|-5-------|
D|---------|
A|---5-6-7-|
E|---------|
) Couse when I play it and go to the A string My G string is rinning and that sounds awful.

i'm having ALOT of trouble doing the legato lick "legato" style. if it was alternate picking it'd be easy. especially the hammer on on fifth fret of g(forth note in that lick) is it just hammering on without picking the note? i can barely give the note any tone without picking; you can barely hear it. i know it's not because i'm hammering hard enough. is it supposed to barely be audible? right now i'm just picking that note without any hammerons... but i can hardly match your normal speed on the lick like this!

Hi quackquack! You can use the guitar pro file with a slow tempo to practice this part.
