No Upstrokes Allowed!
 NO UPSTROKES ALLOWED!!!
(Aka. Dragonballs of Steelfiremagic Pt.1)
It is my pleasure to welcome you to my first lesson for this fine website!
Well..., letīs just get it on! It might look easier than it actually is, mates. But donīt you worry, just listen! Playing only downs, like in this Playalong here, is quite an escential thing in Rockmusic generally. So I find it important enough to start a lesson about it. Most of all, this way of playing is used, to get a certain drive into a song, but also to get that kinda "heavy feeling", almost all the big metalbands have in their songs. For example, look at what Metallica said, back in time. It was something like "Downstrokes sound much "harder" than using up&downs...". So, Iīm not saying thatīs no good at all, to use up&down, but its the way I recorded this track ;) And therefore this Lesson is basicly about practicing accuracy in your "metal-type" downstroke-playing.
If you have not played downstrokes on a 172BPM track before, please remember to keep the right hand relaxed, and donīt start on the original tempo at once!!! I canīt remember how many times I tell my students to practise slow and precisely, instead of trying it like 4 times faster than me!!! If you want to do fast metalsongs, this lesson might help to prepare, or help in general, for its "ONLY" at 172 BPM in the originaltempo ;) Besides playing at that speed, the dampening could become harder sometimes. Try using your right hand palm and your left hand, in combination for this.
Speaking of Fast playing in general:
- DON`T ACT LIKE YOUR IN A HASTE! Just keep cool, especially while playing fast ;)
- DONīT LAUGH NOW, BUT : Breathe also slowly in and out this also will help! for it helped me a lot!
Some Tipps:
1. There are 2 Playalongs at 172 BPM (original tempo). One with guitars I played, one without any guitars for you to jam with.
2. I made little bits out of this Song, also shown in the tabs, so itīs easier to chew, perhaps.
-Verse Part 1
-Verse Part 2
-Bridge Part 1
-Bridge Part 2
-Chorus
-Harmony A
-Harmony B
-Outro
3. When you practise with the Playalongs, try using the voice of "Rythm B Track" found in the Tabs, the Bass guitar is also playing the the 1st voice like the "Rythm A Track", this will give you the little harmonies right before entering the chorus.
This sounds like more work, than it actually is...
I wish you all the best, and have fun with this one!
Thanks for your attention,
Kai Mühlenbruch

Rythm A + B Verse Part 1:
Here we go! Well, by looking at this riff, you might notice, it is also quite similar to the way boogie or blues stuff is played sometimes. We just change the accentuation instead of playing like a 6/8 shuffle-thing, NO! we just do a 4/4 beat really straight, and there we have our quite heavy verse-riff. If you donīt have a clue what I mean, just listen to "Accept - Balls to the wall" for example. Its similar. By adding that fourth to the d-string, this thing gets more of a minor feel (well to me it does!), where normally such riffs would sound like major...just donīt get stuck by thinking about theorie, this one is "still" not that hard to play, or is it?

Rythm A + B Verse Part 2:
We are doing almost the same thing like in Verse part 1. By changing the accents once again, we prepare for the bridge, just spicing up a little what we do on the "a" and "d" string, using a little more notes... |

Rythm A + B Bridge Part 1
This one is of cause the c-powerchord (hey remember this is surposed to be "powermetal";) and we change from the root and the fifth , to root and the flated fifth (tritone) and back,again. After that, just make sure noone notices we play c-major, by quickly throwing in the third, and also move back quickly to the fifth and the tritone again... |

Ok once again "just" Power-chords, but a little "bridge-passage" thing to get smoothly into the chorus. REMEMBER: STILL NO UPSTROKES ALLOWED! Mind your dampening;)

Rythm A + B Chorus
What is a Powermetal-song without a chorus?
By looking at the Powerchords as "real chords" the harmony I used is:
Em - D - C - B - B7
Voilá, there we have a nice harmonic minor feel, with a little tension before everything repeats, from the B7 Chord...I look at that tritone right before the chorus repeats as if it were a B7. Also an Eb07-chord could be used, but I just liked the "dominant 7" more better for this one here... |

Harmony A
This is the 1st voice for the Harmonies, which appears in the second half of the chorus. What could be a little tricky to do, might be to keep all the strings quiet while playing only downstrokes here...donīt worry!!!
have fun, its just metal ;) |

Rythm A + B Outro
Once again the main problem should be to dampen all the other strings, again. But well what can I say? Is this hard to play? No! But, "YEAH" its a clichee ending, isnīt it?

ah I forgot mr. lefty01...SORRY!
My guitar is a custom build instrument. I could build my own, because I am a joiner, but I decided to get the parts and let it be done by someone really professional. For example carving a bonesaddle like mine is almost impossible to get done, without having any training in it...So its a Strat basicly. Build just from Parts I chose...Swampash body,Hardtail-String through bridge, Duncan SH-6 and JBJR PUīS, Sperzel locking tuners, Push-pull to split the hummies to singlecoils...well its my main guitar...I love it thnx for asking:D I canīt stop telling how cool it is...Iīm madly in love with it

Hi. Thanks for not forgetting me:)
What amp you using? Any effects?
Also, I don't mean to beg, but the more rhythm stuff you can post, the better. I think this is getting overlooked too often. I rhythm and riffs and the heart and soul of any song. Thanks again, and keep up the great work. Welcome to GMC.

Hello, hereīs that german weirdo again
Lefty01 I totally agree. Rythmguitar is totally underrated. I just came up with some funk riffings and licks...and again I noticed how hard it is to play that stuff really "in time"...it appears often harder to me then doing a solo with tappings etc. ...well...ok letīs see
Equipment in Lesson 1:
- My Mainguitar "Kopie" (thatīs her name;) and my E-Standard Tuning Stringset: 11-49 (currently Dīaddario EXL 115) and 3mm Dunlop Big Stubby Picks. That gives you some serious attack and also cool cleantone, well I did not play clean but I love that...
- The Playalong is done on my iMac. I used Garageband3 and the Preset ampsimulations "Classic Rock" with no EQīs and effects at all. I donīt like effects so I usually avoid them totally as much as it gets
- The Bass in the Playalong is my good old Clover 5 string Xpression and in the playolong with no guitars its a Garageband3 Preset called "Rock Bass"
- I also used a Behringer V-Amp Pro.
Here is what you hear in the Videos:
Savage Beast sim. with settings:
Gain : 10 oīclock
Volume: 1 oīclock
Bass: NO BASS AT ALL
Mid: 2 oīclock
Treble: 2 oīclock
I used that Behringer software from the website, to connect the V-amp to the PC. But since I only use like 2 sounds of that thing, I even forgot what it was called SORRY!...its free in the download section of their website, for those who care! really usefull!
Thnx for the interest again

This lesson rocks - really awesome riff construction, heavy mix and sound! Oh I still laugh at video number 1, even though it's the 10th time I watch it - quality humour! I also agree with what's been said about rhythm guitar - it's really a shame we don't have more of it! Perhaps Kai can help us out with that...? Kris |

Oh,

thank you very much that humor is just how I am...glad if you guys like it, because to shut it down is really hard sometimes...
and it also rhymes finally what I say makes sense:D
of cause I can do more Rythm stuff, but my problem right now is GP5. Funklicks, and other more complicated rythms are really hard to tab with it I find. I just strated working with GP5,first time was my 1st lesson for GMC,actually...and for example I donīt get how do definite the lengh of a chord? is there any tutorials on the web...I watched all thatīs on youtube, but it doesnīt help me so far...I guess its learning by doing like always, huh?

This is a frikkin awesome lesson with a wrong misleading title. I just looked at the title a few months ago and thought it was another blues lesson.
I have been complaining in forums and other lessons that alternate picking palm muted power chords sounds wrong and this lessons clarifies my doubt.
Awesome lesson yet again man...

sorry about the double post!
This is an awesome and fun lesson.
one thing i find that sounds good is in the chorus section, play the notes 5 times before palm muting instead of four:
PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM PM
E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E
