   Hello GuitarMasterFriends! In this lesson I'm gonna explain some progresive concepts. I use a lot of odd-time signatures so I think it would be a good introduction to the Progresive Metal World.

I'm inspired by bands like Dream Theater, Tool, Spastik Inc etc, so you will see some good ideas that are from these bands (and few are from me :P).

I also use alternatice picking in the last bars, with odd-time signature so that would help you to improve your alternate picking.

Well, I'd like to record some lesson using another weird compass, I think that if it's the first time that you try to learn a progresive lesson it would be a very hard work but I wanted to record a lesson with lo of tricks to show how progresive works ;)

Well, that's all! Keep it progresive ;)
