christian13th June 2007What kind of effects are u using?
Thanks
Pavel13th June 2007Nice lesson - as soon as i heard the first second of it i knew it has something to do with Symphony X!
Good job Gabriel!
Mark Schiewe13th June 2007The riff sounds alot like Sea of Lies
Gabriel Leopardi13th June 2007Yeah! It has been inspired in that song, and other songs of Symphony that have very similar riffs and drum work.
christian: I'm not using any effect. It's just the distortion channel of my marshall (8080).
Bjoerne: Hey, Opeth is a very interesting band! I haven't listened to Camel...
The Uncreator13th June 2007Great lesson, and my favorite Progressive Metal band is Nevermore, absoultely love those guys.

Gabriel Leopardi13th June 2007I don't know, let me ask it to Kris.
lefty0113th June 2007Wonderful lesson. I love the classic prog bands of the 70's too. Without bands like Genesis and Yes, there would not be the great prog bands we have today. How about a Genesis lesson?
JVM13th June 2007Very cool gabe! Gotta learn this one.
TheProof14th June 2007AWESOME! prog metal is my absolute favorite absolutely wicked lesson! i really enjoyed it
edguy14th June 2007Very cool lesson. I like Nevermore and Communic. They are great progressive metal bands.
And Dream Theater are gods
TheProof14th June 2007faveriot prog bands, dream theater, symphony x, porcupine tree, opeth, queensryche, pink floyd, the doors, kings x, equililbrium, wintersun, amorphis, rhapsody, the human abstract, priestess, megadeth, staind, stone sour, testament, the mars volta
in no particular order all for different reasons, dream theater: brilliant guitar and drums (john petrucci mike portnoy), symphony x amazing use of aletnate tuning (michael romeo), porcupine tree big fan of the singing and piano, opeth something about them i love and im too lazy to explain the rest
M-P14th June 2007+1 for Dream Theater. Always loved their songs, but never really tried to play anything that style, thanks.
VinceG14th June 2007dude this sounds like a Symphony X song.
Fsgdjv14th June 2007Great lesson! Just what I needed, a great sounding rythm guitar lesson that's in my skill range:) My favourite prog metal band is Opeth, theres really nothing that comes close in my opinion, even though Nevermore, Memfis, Nahemah etc, are great aswell.
Gabriel Leopardi15th June 2007Many of you said that Nevermore is a good band! I have never paid attention to this band but I'll listen to them and then I'll tell you!
I could do this list of top GMC prog metal bands based on your comments:
1. Dream Theater
2. Symphony X
3. Opeth
4. Nevermore

Gustavo26th June 2007sea of lies
muy wena gfabi
Gabriel Leopardi26th June 2007Thanks Gustavo! No es una cancion de mi banda, solo un ejercicio de técnica inspirado en Symphony. No hay problema con que sea parecido al comienzo.
MickeM28th June 2007It's Dream Theater and Sun Caged
Jakub Luptovec17th July 2007This is Sympony-X - Sea of lies from Divine Wings of Tragedy isn't it? Or at least inspired by its spirit:)
Anyway, I love Symphony-X => its great:)
revenged_rocker12122nd July 2007nice work another great lesson
SnakeEyes794th October 2007Very nice, even if a little bit fast for a beginner like me^^! Thanx!!!
Madrigal24th October 2007If you like the sound of this lesson, then you will love
THReSHoLD !!!
If you don't know them, you MUST check them out here:
www.myspace.com/thresholdofficial
Try the song "Mission Profile" and you'll know what I mean.
Threshold to me are the *true* (but still hidden) Gods of progmetal. Dream Theater sound stale and sterile in comparison.
But anyway, my favourite lesson so far on GMC!
Gabriel Leopardi25th October 2007I know them! I like their sound and their singer... Damian Wilson.. I think that this was his name.
gabriel.-
Madrigal26th October 2007Oh wow!
Gabriel, I listened to your songs with Digital Fear and really REALLY love it!!!!! Is there an album to buy anywhere? Simply brilliant stuff..... Do you also play bass on it? And who the hell is this AWESOME female vocalist on track two about Venus? Why don't you have her on all the tracks, do you prefer instrumental songs?
Damian Wilson, you are right, was the vocalist on the first and third - and now most likely to be again - on their ninth studio album. If album 1 and 3 you heard and liked, then you should definitely check out Threshold's more recent work with Mac, who now left the band a couple of months ago, a week (!) before the tour...... Damian, who in general is a most acclaimed vocalist in the prog world, jumped in - again.
Phew, I soooo like your stuff! Powerful, great melodies, interesting harmonies, tension, soul, spirit, groove - all I love in music. No wonder I'm into your lessons most of all on GMC. ![]()
Gabriel Leopardi27th October 2007Hi Man! I'm glad that you like it! The bass player is called Marcelo Yakko and is the co-funder (with me) of the project Digital Fear. He used a loop female girl that found in internet in that song to build it.
This project is instrumental and experimental. It's not that I preffer this kind of music it's just that we wanted to do instumental music. I also have a band called Cirse (www.cirse.com.ar) that has a female singer but it's not progressive.
Gabriel.-
pd: I'll try to get that Threshold albums.
Danilo Capezzuto25th February 2008Great...I'm watching all you lessons!
