Anyhow back too it. Thanks Ben for this awesome lesson. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Not to mention countless other Iced Earth tunes. Playing these songs for HOURS, gave me a great head start on endurance and picking strength.

It is a workout on the picking hand for sure! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I think the whole 9/11 thing made him re-assess his priorities in life. Although he came back for a while, I think the tour commitments starting building up again more than he and Jon anticipated. At least that's the general gist I got from interviews. But yeah, his voice is the one for IE He's the most consistent live performer as well from all the footage I've heard.

We get all these good singers under the Iced Earth banner, especially Barlow, so I feel privileged You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

However I don't know who is the singer on that one, is the original? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Btw Owens is coming to Belgrade in autmn with some heavy metal supergroup?? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
