Hi there GMC'ers!
THE PROFESSOR In this lesson, which is expertly presented by Yoppe, you are digging into a cool, minor-sounding riff and chord progression in the key of D minor. Apart from learning how to play the D Aeolian Mode, D natural minor, you can also work on your minor triad fingerings to allow you to easily play the single-note riffs in this lesson.
Learning how to build and play minor triads on guitar, will give you the background you need to understand riffs such as the one in this lesson, and give you all the info you need to build your own similar riffs in the practice room.
I'd like to introduce to you some licks from my original song called "Explosion".
I'll be showing you a full version!
This is a heavy metal song, so there are many difficult licks.
I hope that you'll enjoy this lesson. Thank you so much.
