My notes

- Tags: Stratovarius, Rata Blanca, Alternate Picking, Downstrokes, Palm Muting, Vibrato, Palm muting, Power metal, A minor, D minor
Hi everybody and welcome to a new lesson.
This time I´ve composed a little tune with melodic approach using the Am scale and the Dm scale.

This one is specially composed for beginners so I think you will be able to learn it even if you´re in your first days of learning to play the guitar.
In this lesson we start with a rhythm guitar line that it will be developing into a lead guitar line. You should try to get the feeling you´re playing this tune with a band, so you must pay attention on your parts applying a correct timing and a good-use of dynamics.
Hope you like this lesson! Have fun!

Techniques:
Alternate Picking
Downstrokes
Palm Muting
Vibrato

Used scales: A minor – D minor
Meter: 4/4 –
Guitar Tune: Down 1/2 step
TEMPO: 125 Bpm.

As some of you know, I use a POD xt to rec all my lessons. you´ll find my presets on my board ;)

If you have any problems let me know.
Take care and see you all around.

stay close! -

Lian
