   Hello GMC! Today I recorded a lesson in the style of Queensrÿche. This one is one of the first progressive metal bands. They combined influences from bands like Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marrillion, Rush and King Crimson with the sound of metal bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. My favourite album is "Operation Mind crime" that is a conceptual masterpiece. Fates Warning was the other band that started with this style at the same time and then appeared Dream Theater influenced by both of them.

In this lesson I tried to compose a tune inspired in them using some of their most used guitar arrangements and licks. We’ll use techniques like palm muting, alternate picking, sweep picking, bending and vibrato.

Key: A minor
Tempo: 115


Gabriel.-

Just lovely Gabriel. Now if you could create a solo based on the track "One More Time" from the "Promised Land" album, that would be sublime!

That's very strange. Maybe you should restart you pc.

I'm wondering the same thing too, I'm practicing the solos with a metronome, and so far I believe the first solo are 16th triplets (6 notes per beat) at 115 bpm.
Is that correct Gabriel?

It will take me a looong time to achieve that speed. But I'll keep trying.
