3 Part Metal Riffing For Beginners  something a little different this time, this is a 3 part metal riff lesson aimed at beginners, this is a very simple piece that is made to sound much better with the use of three guitar parts, in this lesson I`m going to show you all three, one main straightforward rythmn guitar part and two harmony guitar parts, all three can be played perfectly well on their own with the backing tracks provided in order to practice and learn them. Then have a go at recording the individual parts and you`ll see how they build together. The trickiest part of this lesson is the picking speed on one of the sections, with practice you should be able to get this down no problem and if you do is a great tool for riffing with, just use the slower backing tracks to build up your speed  So as well as helping you with your rythmn, timing and palm muting it may help you with writing & recording your own songs and how effective adding multiple guitar parts can be to transform a very average riff. Before moving on into the different parts a quick look at palm muting briefly for those unsure, or not getting their palm mutes sounding right. firstly take a look at your bridge, on this guitar its a floyd Rose style bridge, the part of the bridge that you are aiming to rest the rear part of the palm of your hand on (I`ve indicated with a yellow box in picture 1) its just a little in front of where the string goes into the bridge, this position applies to almost every guitar. picture 2 shows you (hopefully) a little better where your hand should be and finally picture 3 with the hand flattened in the picking/muting position 1.  2. 3. If your finding the muted chords/notes sound a little "choked" you are probbly too far forward off the bridge and need to move hand position back a little till the strings ring just slightly.

Can you please tell me more about the effect you are using and also how did you program that crispy drum track thanks mate, the drums on this track are recorded directly into my sound card using a Boss DR 670 drum machine, it was just a pre set pattern that I found and liked and worked something around the drums, a slight adjustment after recording with the EQ to get it a little crisper but that was about it I`m using a POD XT for my tone, nothing special in there, using a spinal puppet amp sim with about half gain, bass, middle, treble and presence all set to about 3 o clock, got a stomp box effect in there which is the Tube screamer with no drive and just a little gain, if you`ve got a pod heres the patch, reverb etc added after

Thanks mate. Much appreciated on all the info. Really liked the tone. I dont have the pod but i am sure a lot of people here do and would appreciate the patch. Oh well, i'll get it too and buy the pod later
