Just wowrking at the 120 BPM and seem to manage :-D Yes success is a stony road...- Gabriel Leopardi2nd July 2013Hi Gabriel, thanks a good advice indeed. Did not think of the good old metronome right now. What? there is no button for 100 BPM? :-D But sounds a lot better with backing tracks, that's for sure. I wonder if you just pitch the backing or if you have to record it new each time. The 150 BPM version for sure as it contains a second guitar track.
Cheers Mark
As soon as you asked, I tried pitching it with Nuendo and the result wasn't really good. However maybe you want to experiment with some other softwares specially designed for that. Here you have a link:

also, I started a thread at the forum about this to know if anybody has more ideas:

Hi Mark! This usually happens but you can use a metronome to fill the gaps between the different backing tracks. You could also create a midi drum loop and practice the sections over it. Let me know if you need some more help with this.

Hi Lian, awesome lesson - again!
Only thing is, it is far too fast for me :-( I need to find out how to get faster espescially in the first part. Also a 100 BPM Backing Track would be great as the gap from 75 to 120 knocks me down ^^ - igi14th April 2011

Hi there, here I am once again. I'm proud of showing this Power Metal Concepts Pt.I, based on bands like Stratovarius, Helloween and many many others. Here we'll see how to make a complete song in the Power Metal style in 3 parts/lessons.
This is just one of many forms or structures that you can find in a song. So, this is just an example. Also you can compose or create your Power Metal Songs with this concept or following no rule.
Techniques we´ll use here are: 2 string Sweeping, Power Chords, Gallops, Palm Muting, Slides and Vibrato.
The Key is A minor.
Scales we´ll use are: A minor, A Harmonic minor.
This P.M. Concept try to show you different parts of a song. We have intros, chorus, solos.... but... how can we put all the parts into a song? This help you to understand how.
Power Metal Concept Pt.: I -here we are now-
Contents:
Intro – a nice and fast melody always works
Verse 1 – here is where the singer starts to sing
Chorus – the most important part in a song.
Intro – here we can repeat the intro.
... then, you can repeat verse again, or just start with the next concept.
Power Metal Concept Pt.: II -Next Lesson-
Contents:
Verse 2 -
Main Melody –
Duet Part –
Power Metal Concept Pt.: III -Next Lesson-
Contents:
Bridge –
Solo –
Outro –
If you have any problems let me know. Take care.
Guitar tune down 1/2 step
TEMPO: 150 bpm
I hope you like this lesson, see you soon.
