Hi Touix, do you need any help with this lesson?
Lian Gerbino9th July 2010Love this one! Already learned it! Now i'm going to practice it. The biggest thing is timing. so i'll try to get that, then enter in the REC. I want to get at least a 9, but I'll be aiming for a 10 - especially since this isn't a complicated piece. Riffing is my strong point. Solos are my weakness, but I still love them nevertheless!
awesome man! I'll be looking for your take. if you need any help, just ask

Capt.Z20th October 2009Very Helpful for begginers!!
My brother would love this- Lian Gerbino20th October 2009Yep, I've one question, could you do the guitar pro tabs of this lesson ? (cause there's a GPtab but it's about the backing track :'))
Because I can't fix the rhythm about the part 2 where you do many powerchords in a row, does the rhythm change here ? Because I tried at 120BPM but I didn't find when play the fifths :s
Thanks a lot
And I was asking myself.. are the backtracks in the good lesson ? Because they aren't at 120 BPM and there're not in the same style O_o
Maybe I'm wrong..
no man, you´re right, thanks for notify we´re working on it to fix it!Great lesson Lian, some great basic things here for beginners to start with.
thank you Marcus

- Lesson
- My notes
A Metalhead´s Journey is a new series focused on easier material.
If you are new to music and the guitar and you want to play Metal more than anything, I will help you to understand:- The basic concepts.
- The required techniques.
- And all you need from the very first day.
These guitar lessons are composed with the absolute beginner in mind.
If you´re new to the guitar, I strongly suggest you to begin at lesson one, spending at least one week learning the whole lesson.
If you already have some guitar playing experience, you may want to review a few lessons to determine where you should start.
So, let the journey begin...
Jump to start: Home or `s` , you can also click/tap the lesson part again (the numbers above player)
Go to next part: PageUP or End.
Volume: ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys
Go to any part: Number keys (combinations also possible)
Pause or play: `k` or space key
Fullscreen: `f`, esc to close
Increase / decrease speed : `+` or `-`
