Well it has been a while since my first SI lesson here. I have been trying to make a new lesson a few times but never really completed it fully......

Finally i have succeded and i got a lesson that i am very proud of.
The lesson wich i call Metal riffs part 1 is the first in a series of lessons that i plan on making. This is the only one that is written at the moment but i got som riffs in my head that are soon to come out.......

Now let us begin
This lesson is based on one riff played in three different postions on the neck once you have mastered the lick the rest should be easy. I use alot of downpicking to get a heavy sound.

Main video

 Metal_Rythm.wmv ( 1.88MB ) : 731


In the main video i have recorded two guitars and paned them left and right.

(My cousin was watching when i recorded this and since i liked this take so much i dident want to re record it just because of that)

D|--5-5---5-5---5---5-5-5-5-----------5-5---5-5---5----5-5-5-5--6---6----------------

Played x2
In the video i show how to play the lick both with right and left hand....
This should be played with downstroke only

Video 2
 Video_2.wmv ( 3.54MB ) : 287


This is the same riff as the first one but it is play a whole step down on the third fret

D|-----------------------------5-3-6-5-------------------------------6----6--------------------------
A|------5------4---6--------------------------5-----4---6-----------6-----6-------------------------
E|-3-3----3-3---3---5-5-5-5-----------3-3---3-3---3---5-5-5-5---4----4---------------------------

This should also be played X2

 Video_3.wmv ( 3.34MB ) : 245


The third riff is the same is played on the seventh fret and insteed of plying i twice the second time we go back and play the first riff one time

D|-------------------------------9-7-10-9----------------------------------10---10--------------
A|------9------7---10----------------------------9------7---10------------10---10------------------
E|-7-7----7-7---7-----7-7-7-7------------7-7----7-7---7-----7-7-7-7---8----8------------------

D|--5-5---5-5---5---5-5-5-5-----------5-5---5-5---5----5-5-5-5--6---6----------------

The last riff is something different.
