   Hey GMC! Here's the lesson to the "Are you ready" -collaboration song, so now you can finally jam along with it! =). You can read more about this collaboration and also download the PODxt preset used in the song here.

It's in drop-D tuning, which means you should tune down the low E-string two half notes (two frets). All the other strings should have standard tuning.

We should play downstrokes on almost every note (check out Kai's great lesson about that).

Tempo: 138 bpm

Difficult level: Beginner to Intermediate.

Thanks to everyone who participated and helped composing this song! :) In case you have missed the video collab with GMC students - click here.

/Marcus

Ok I probably shouldn't say this since I am in it. But I don't care - this ROCKS!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Not to metnion it is most likely the best song riff-construction-lesson we have got - as it clearly illustrates how Marcus does it from intro to ending! biggrin.gif

SMOKIN TUNE!!! Kinda reminds me of the old "We're Stars" tune where all the big names in metal got a chance to sing and do solos...but this tune is MUCH cooler!

Rock on!

I'd love to see lessons with all these solos as well smile.gif but I don't know if we can have it! So look at this as a good exercise to learn these solos by ear! wink.gif
