song writing, rhythm, arpeggiating chords
Hay Gmcer's! I've used this Lost Prophets style lesson to not only show you the things that are unique to their style, but to also show you how to write a variety of riffs for a song using only 4 chords.
The main chords for the lesson are A5, F5, D5 and C5 .
Arpeggiated chords in the lesson include A-9, D-9, D-7, F/Bb, C inverted 5th and one A-9 arpeggio shape.
Tuning for the lesson is Drop D from low to high: D A D G B E
This lesson focuses on song writing, rhythm, arpeggiating chords, alternate and economy picking.
I used a multi fx pedal for the lesson.
You will need 3 bank's:
1. Clean tone, chorus and delay
2. Main distortion, gain/distortion between half and three quarters.
3. Lighter distortion,gain/distortion between quarter and half.
The backing tracks include a rhythm guitar for you to play with at different tempos.
The piece has an A minor tonality.
Tempo is 95 BPM in 4/4.
Rockin'
