Hi GMC, again with a new lesson I return, this time in Am Harmony. I am using the mute technique and over drive in start & at the end of the lesson.

We will see some techniques and some speed for scales and harm notes, bends, tremolo bends, trills, arpegios, clean chord Em in 2 different sounds at the end of the lesson.

The lesson contains 5 parts. Also I did a second track going with the first to help the main melody in this lesson. Hope you join my new lesson!

IMPORTANT: In this lesson "A harmonic minor" is referred to as "Am.Harmony"
