Hungus8th August 2007Man this is pretty awesome.. I'm deffinitly learning this one.
Great that we are getting more Rhythm lessons too as I'm not really a fan of the solo lessons
- Hungus8th August 2007
Just noticed that your Guitar Pro file is abit broken like the last one, I still get the random error in french when I try to play it. Also why are alot of the bars in red, whats the deal with that?
ZakkWylde8th August 2007How true is that? Metal riffing lesson while wearing a manowar shirt^^ Awesome lesson dude!
shredmandan8th August 2007AWESOME lesson man,im real happy with these type of lessons.Keep it up
Kai Muehlenbruch8th August 2007hi guys! thnx for the honey
now for the gp5 thing again. I use the newest version for my "mac". Yet, it should not be possible that there is a problem in using exactly the same file on a pc, lots of people with totally different versions reported me, they can´t open my files :/ I am really sorry for that, but did not find the problem yet...also there is problems in playing avis on a pc that have been created on a mac. how stupid is that? well that´s another story...if I have any news i´ll let you guys know
the red bars appear if a beat is notated incorrectly,or something is missing. I did that on purpose, because gp5 did not "play" the stuff it should be played. I counted the beats out, and noted how I think they are correct, etc. but it just did not work. I thought it might be even more confusing to have a tab, that sounds totally rubbish, than one that is not notated properly in gp5 but sounds with gp5 how it should...you see there is a lot that you can´t really notate. Just listen to what I say in the videos, and do the stuff by ear, some more;)
The most important point is to get that rythms! And doing that only by reading them from the tab is a total other thing than learning the riff actually...
So Hungus if there is any problems with reading or so, just send me a pm and I´ll do my best to explain
Greetings,
Kai

I got the same Manowar Shirt, im a huge fan!
HAIL MANOWAR!
Jakub Luptovec8th August 2007Sorry if it sounds stupid.. but I am totally stuck on vid 1... How am I supposed to pull of from something, and palm mute that note (which is produced by pulling-off, E in this situation) at once?
Also in the slow motion video, you havent played the end of first line, where it goes 3p2 0 0.
Srry, if I sound rude or anything, didn't mean to.. but I so much want to play this, and still fail even at playing the first few notes:( I am kinda desperate:-D
David Wallimann8th August 2007Kai, you do the best talking vids. You make me laugh all the time! Haha!
Great job bro!- Hungus8th August 2007
Thanks for the response Kai. Im not really having any problems reading it I was just not sure what the red meant. I usually try not to play off tab but I like using GP so I can look segments and play along to get the hang of them..
- Kai Muehlenbruch8th August 2007
You guys are crazy!
thank you so much
1. Ride like the wind fight proud my son! your the defender god has send! - for those who care 
2. no excuse, but I am on vacation now...just head to take a break from everything, you know? BUT, I wanted to put that one out before I go, so I recorded the vids at around 3 am...I´ve been fearing there would be some "mistakes" I did not hear back then...but I did not want to let you wait any longer so hope that´s ok?
3. Jakub, I don´t get your question, sorry? Of cause I left something out that´s later to be explained in the videos I hope...didn´t I? The hammering thing for example is pretty much the same all the way, if that´s whats holding you up...I don´t get what you mean with palm muting and pulling of at the same time...there is many different ways I "palmmute" for example. Like different pressures. In this lesson I slightly lay the right hand on top off the strings almost everywhere, but use much more pressure, when doing the ending of part 1 for example...hm...if I only could show it to you directly :/ this would help...I have no clue how to explain it better...I THAT IS THE POINT...?!?!
4. Cool, that most of you guys seem to be pleased with learning by having fun, but I hope you also get what I say...perhaps I have to focus more on whats the message...since we´re just gettin´started I will try to think of some better ways to explain things...In german that´s of cause "a bit" easier for me
So please just keep asking, I´ll do my best to help you guys out
Luv,
Kai - Kai Muehlenbruch8th August 2007
Ah, cool! Hungus gets what I ment! Try looking on everything as "segments". I tried to find the best way to explain...of cause that might not be the best way for everyone
"Viele Wege führen nach Rom!" Like we say in german.
that means:"many roads lead to rome!"

Video 4 scared teh hell out of me!
My speakers were turned up to loud 
Gabriel Leopardi8th August 2007yeahhhh this lesson make me do headbanging!!
great stuff Kai!
Kristofer Dahl8th August 2007The way you go from heavy to melodic at ~00:48 is so0o tasty.
Your approach to upstrokes is also really interesting - as I have always kind of avoided it for riffing. But you are right - practicing heavy upstrokes does the trick (at least for you - that is, I have to practice! ).
Ryan8th August 2007Awesome
Im gonna learn this. I suck at rythm
timono8th August 2007wow, i really like it, and will try it out as soon as possible
VinceG8th August 2007haha stupid german face w/ a pimple.... made me giggle.
Gen8th August 2007Awesome man, im learning it right now
- Jakub Luptovec8th August 2007
Ill try to explain - not all the notes are palm muted, and when I play one note (which is not PM'ed) and then palm mute, the string goes dead, so I need to stroke the string again.. I can make that pull off from say 7th fret to open string, but I cant apply palm muting, cos I mute the string completely by doint that - thus killing the note, that should sound when I pull off. This thing is kinda hard to explain:(
swingline8th August 2007To get it in guitar pro just copy the regular tab go to file on guitar pro on import click on "ASCII" and paste in the tab. After that go to tools and hit "Bar Arranger" that will fix all of the red bars then change the tempo and you have your guitar pro file.
- Hungus9th August 2007
Yhea I find looking at just small segments and working hard on 1 till I have it sussed and then moving on then the next segment is easier and it just builds on itself.
To try and answer your question Jakub I think you just need to make your pull off more forceful so its lounder and/or mute the strings lighter so your palm only just touches it. 
Smurkas9th August 2007Jakub - If you look at how he's playing it you'll notice that he doesn't mute the pulloff,he just mutes the note he picks afterward. So what you do is pullof to open string then mute the next note. The tab is kind of misleading since it says that you should mute both open notes. Hope that helps.
- KGZ9th August 2007
man i can't get the timing down between the 3rd and 4th video... i wish i could download this backing track because i have to do the whole thing thru and i always mess up at the same bit..

YESS!! I can play it:D

It gives me soo much more satisfaction to finally nail a song/lesson on a real guitar than on guitarhero for playstation. but it´s thanks to guitarhero that I started playing guitar;)
Thanks again Kai:)
Kjetil - sloe_lerner22nd August 2007
this is a beast freaking lesson the speed is a little tricky but its generally easy to play and sounds beastly
- xSK8ANx22nd August 2007
Is it possible to download the backing drumtrack? cause I want to put it in garageband and record me playing this lesson on top of it to evaluate my own playing;) and I also want to be able to play with the drumtrack from my ipod when I'm not near a computer with internet.
Thanx
Kjetil - tha_max23rd August 2007

xSK8ANx- i will ask Kris for that, sorry for beeing late again...im really busy atmo :/
Cheers everyone! 
jammer916th September 2007Amazing lesson... Cant wait for more. Im stuck on vid one. I had the question as Jakub and still do. Take this example outta the tab:
8p0
I play the 8 and then pull of to an open string and palm mute the string at the same time. I get a dead muted note (no sound).
After reading Smurkas advice this is what i understand:
After playing the 8p0 we should then palm mute the 0 that comes after the pulloff? So that means there was a mistake in the tab by adding extra palm mute signs.
Also in the intro it says 7s0:
How can we slide from the seventh fret to an open string? I dont even see Kai doing that...
Sorry for being such a noob. Id really like to learn this lesson. The metal riffs in this is awesome. Im more into rythemic metal, so this is like one of the best lessons.
And Kai why dont you get an Ibanez or an ESP? Your strat sorta gives a twangy sound.- Paggo9th September 2007
Yee Haw
such a fantastic lesson
It's good to see another stupid German Face in here ;P
I hope i will soon be able to play the hole lesson...i have big problems with the speed but i'm going to make it ^^
Nr.4 is my favourite sounds like REAL Manowar to me ^^
thanks again to Kaiowar - Kai Muehlenbruch16th September 2007
Ah man! now I finally get it...yeah there is a mistake in that tab indeed. I was playing that riff for quite a while, the way i recorded it , and the way I show it in the vids.
I planed to start the sequence with a slide into the 7th fret and then a pull off. there will be no palmmutes off cause...
all my fault because I was such a n00b in GP5.
now I know the program better...
BIG SORRY I WILL CORRECT THE TABS AS SOON AS I HAVE TIME!!!
@jammer91: actually I own a Jem7vwh but that guitar in the vid is my mainaxe which I build myself. I can´t see were this one should sound "twangy" since it has a duncan sh-6 in the bridge and offers quite a punch, with the strings I use. If pluged into a real amp, and not into a funny little v-amp on video, you would surely understand what I mean AND I DON`T LIKE ESP!!! no thanks - dk224th September 2007
omfg! this is heavy man thanks for the vid

Hello fellows :)
Welcome to my second Rythm-lesson, thank you for your patience :)
So, we´ve got the "Rythm A and B scheme" again, like in my first lesson, so you can choose what suits you fine, a bit better. The beginning of this one is an effect I heared quite often, and had no clue how to make it! So I decided to show you different ways on how to create that one. The Lesson includes 16th-note-lines with lots of breaks and stops, hammerings, pulls, Powerchords with low fifths, and of cause I screw up everything with another clichee ending ;)
Sounds like a lot, huh?
Well, listening to my favourit bands, I realised that many of them use kinda like "openstring-rythm-figures" a lot (Part 2 etc.). This can sound really heavy, even if the guitar is NOT tuned down, don´t you agree? If you don´t force the listener to a minor or major feel, and use less notes as possible, the riff-idea can become a real neck breaker. And even a timesignature of 145BPM can sound quite fast, don´t you agree?
In this lesson I´ll show, how I use them in different ways, creating different impressions, by changing as less notes, but adding stops, for a change! In combination with powerchords the great Mr. Blackmoore and Black Sabbath used back in time (in Part 4), we can make a regular tuned guitar sound really brutal, even if we use less gain...how about that ?:)
Another Idea behind this one, is of cause : YOU NEED STOPS IN MUSIC! So, if there appears to be problems with this one, practice with the metronome or the slower playbacks, and make sure you get the beat. I also find, this one shows us also a bit, how versatile a 4/4 beat can become, if you use your creativity to create more RYTHM and less melodies :)
Ok, beginners and even advanced players LISTEN! It might be also usefull to clap this one first with your hands, using the metronome, before you try to get into the technical stuff, on your guitars ;)
The Playbacks this time:
145 A = both guitars
145 B = just rythm B
145 and all others = no guitars
Well nuff´ said mates!
Thanks for the attention,
HAVE FUN!
Kai
