Progressive Guitar Lessons
  Difficulty 8 of 10 Phrygian Dominant SoloingToday we'll take a look at the Phrygian Dominant scale. When a scale is Dominant, it means that it has a major third and a minor seventh. That means that a Phrygian dominant scale is a phrygian mode with a major third.  Difficulty 8 of 10 Progressive Metal Rhythm LessonThe exercise is a difficult rhythm part in different meters. The first section is very in the style of Symphony X and the second section reminds me of Dream Theater's first album.  Difficulty 8 of 10 Speed Metal Riffs 3This is a challenge for all metalheads out there who love agressive metal riffs. This lesson is full of cool alternate picking stuff so even if you are not into the metal your picking can gain a lot if you use this lesson as an alternate picking excercise! Get in and prepare to pick FAST!  Difficulty 9 of 10 Metal Solo LicksNow it's time for metal soloing. After a monster solo lesson by Wallimann i decided to create another metal solo lesson so you guys can have a wider insight into metal soloing!  Difficulty 7 of 10 Metalhead Solo LessonIn the vain of metal prog bands such as SymphonyX or Dream Theater, this little instrumental is a great workout for all the serious shredders that you are. Tapping, legato and alternate picking are the main focus here. Take each licks individually and try to apply the ideas that you like in your own playing.  Difficulty 7 of 10 Rock Rhythm 'n Solo Lesson 4Rock Rythm 'n Solo number four! In my humble opinion this one is the best so far - and I hope you will enjoy playing it as much as i enjoyed creating it. In this lesson we'll cover some cool tricks which will hopefully help you to improve your writing of riffs and rhythm parts.  Difficulty 6 of 10 Heavy Metal RiffingIn this lesson we'll continue working on rhythm guitar. Similar to my previous riffing lessons, we'll use Phrygian Major scale for this one. Oh yes - this scale sounds wild in riffing stuff! Also you'll meet trills and learn how to use them in small inserts between the rythm parts of riffs. Wanna riff?? Get in here!  Difficulty 8 of 10 John Petrucci Style LessonThis lesson is a guitar solo over a 7/4 riff in the style of John Petrucci, Steve Morse and Zakk Wylde. It is a very interesting exercise that includes alternate picking, legato and bending.The backing track is a Gm based riff. We will use two different scales in the solo. First we will play a G Dorian scale and then G Pentatonic minor scale with chromatics as passing notes.  Difficulty 6 of 10 Rock Rhythm 'n Solo Lesson 2Let's continue working on rock rythm guitar mixed with small solo/lead sections. In the last lesson we mostly used double-stops to create rhythm guitar patterns. Well, now we will concentrate mostly on full chord shapes. Ready for some rhythm guitar? Hop in!
