- NoPayneNoGain26th March 2008
gabe, or anyone...are the faster notes 16th triplets?
- NoPayneNoGain26th March 2008
and is each measure 4 beats?
- NoPayneNoGain26th March 2008
I'm having a malfunction for some reason hearing and feeling the notes at that speed right now.
- Gabriel Leopardi26th March 2008
That's very strange. Maybe you should restart you pc.
- Fran29th March 2008
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. 
TreyDeschamp8th May 2008The only words that come to mind are WOW!
That's amazing! I have one more lesson to add to my bookmarks for when I get better. Awsome Lesson Gabe!
stickyfingers17th July 2008great lesson gabriel! but the tabs of the last part of the second video are wrong! the gp file is correct, though.
- Gabriel Leopardi17th July 2008
that's strange because I always export the tabs from the GP file but I will check it. 
thanks guys!

That is a brilliant lesson! Very 'Operation Mindcrime'! I have a question - what makes Queensryche sound like Queensryche? For that matter, what makes any band sound individual enough so that we know who it is after the first 2 notes?! It might seem a wierd question, but all of these bands use the same notes and chords, I guess, so what's their sectret?
Thanks again!

Good question! I thing that you should post this at the forum because it would be cool to read everybody's opinion.
I think that it's a sum of things that can be found in many of their compositions. The sound of the guitar, the rhythms used, the scales and tonalities, the guitar technique... When I do these type of lessons I think : What things make the difference between this band and the others of this style?
In this lesson I tried to use the same chord positions and triads that they use, a drum + bass backing that I found in many of Operation Crime`s songs (like "I don't believe in love"), and a similar guitar sound.

Hi, I just wondered wether you would recommend using the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers for the runs where the fretting is 10, 12, 13, or is it just down to personal choice? I 'accidentally'(!) practised this using my index, third, and fourth fingers, and I can pretty well get up to the correct speed! Would you advise not to use the 'pinky' unless necessary? (I guess using the 3rd finger and having the 4th free leaves it available for playing other notes, but in cases like this, I presume it isn't that big a deal). I think I'd better go and practice this how it's shown, just to be on the safe side!!!

Hi Rico! I also had that sensation when I was starting and the unique way to increase your speed is hard work with metronome. However you have to practice the appropiated exercises for this. There are many great technique exercises here in the archive. Check the archieve and let me know if you need help to select the material. - rico31st October 2009
hi gab, thanks, and yes if you can help me you're welcome, thanks my friend, and continue to make us dream with your fabulous technique and inspiration, see you
- Gabriel Leopardi31st October 2009hi gab, thanks, and yes if you can help me you're welcome, thanks my friend, and continue to make us dream with your fabulous technique and inspiration, see you
ok rico! We can continue this in my personal board if you want. Please create a new topic about this and I can give you some guidelines to build speed! - Jerry Lee21st December 2011

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.-
