Hey there GMC’ers!
This lesson is all about downstroke riffing, combined with an aggressive and tight approach!
Don’t shy away from hitting notes hard on this one, as it’s among the easier ones.
As benefits, you’ll get the following:
- training on downpicking
- training on subdivision variations
- position shifting
- right hand development
- rhythmic development
Pay attention to the details sprinkled here and there, as they make the piece a little more interesting. Tune the guitar to drop C and let’s rock!
Here's a link containing other lessons on Down Picking with various approaches! Try them all out and see what you like best: Downpicking Lessons
