		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'
