   Hello GMC! Today we have the very awaited "Thrash Metal Lesson"! I created this lesson because many have requested me a more challenged (than the Megadeth style one) Thrash Metal lesson. This one has been inspired mainly by bands like Slayer, Exodus, Pantera and also in the old Metallica’s albums. As these bands are a strong influence for many new bands you’ll find that this lesson is also in the style of Shadows Fall, Trivium, and BFMV.

In this lesson we’ll work at very fast tempo different riffs that combines "only down-strokes" right hand technique with some fast alternate picking. I recorded a second guitar that harmonizes the guitar that I’m playing in the video in many parts. You’ll have to use Dropped D tuning for this lesson.

I hope that you enjoy it!

Gabriel.-

Hi! I'm glad that you like it! Thanks for the comments! smile.gif

Ben: I use Reason's Redrum module as a sampler and I record the midi in the Nuendo used by rewire. The drum sounds are .wav and .aif drum samples.

Gabriel I've been poking around more and more of your lessons recently and I have to say that your versatility really blows me away! You completely capture the essence of all of the styles that you attempt. I'm jealous quite frankly! Fantastic lesson, great composition!
