  Another great lesson! One request: I notice you have a lot of guitars, could you please use ones with fret markers to make it easier to follow what notes you're playing? Especially for the lessons that are not for advanced players. Thanks.

  Yes - all of those are for different tone situation but I get Your point and I'll try to use the ones with markers for beginner level lessons. "Markers" are in the TABs anyway ha ha )) Cheers!
  
  Thank You Nava!

  Great Lesson Darius! As a side note I would probably cut the Palm muting part out because it's hard to concentrate on two things that you have to learn at the time (palm muting and alternate picking)

  Of course startting that way is also something that can give You benefits from this lesson but for my particular hand position adding palm muting doesn't make playing harder. It's just changing resting point of the hand from "behind the bridge to the right" to "behind the bridge" to the left. Maybe Your hand position doesn't allow You to add PM easily. If You need some help just message me

  Hello Darius from Athens, Greece!! Thanks for your excellent lesson, it is indeed usefull, even for more advanced guitar players. I 've a question for you, on bar 41, why are you playing c natural, instead of c sharp which is the correct note for the mixilydian mode? Isn't it e mixolydian scale?
- Darius Wave22nd August 2016
  Hey Zoef! Thanx for your kind words. Answering your question it's actually not a messed up mixolydian but a "A melodic minor modus 5". In other words - A melodic minor being played startting from e note. It's quite popular treat in classical music. We do similar thing with A harmonic minor being played from e, creating a kind of "phrygian feel" with major 3rd instead of minor 3rd (when we compare with phrygian startting from e note). As for melodic minor modus 5, people do use to call it mixolydian flat 6th scale as well All best
