  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson, we will play a sequence of palm-muted riffs to help you develop good control of this technique.

    Basically, it’s a metal groove in C minor with a tight chord progression, useful if you are willing to learn different chord positions on the guitar.


    Remember to play it slow and to figure out the chord shape before practicing it at the normal speed.
