Feedback
RobertAtGmc9th February 2017I hear a third guitar in the main recording or a voice or harmonics very clear. It is in the fragment where lesson 8 also plays. When we play this very nice lesson life as a foundation of a song, the lesson 8 part is easy extended with an F,E sequence on the b-string. Thanks.

Thank you Kris! Misery business
I have ust covered this song with my band a week ago
That sound great!! Any video to see your cover?? Love this lesson Gabriel!
Thanks Bogdan!I've only recently heard of them and you've captured their sound perfectly Gabe!!!
Thank you Sensible Jones! Very nice, are Paramore like a punk version of Maiden? This sounds very much like Iron Maiden to me =) But I love Maiden so it's all good, thanks for nice lesson
Iron Maiden is a big influence in many new punk/harcore/emo bands and this is not the exception... Awesome, I love Paramore
thanks for the comment Fran!Good Lesson, I like seeing the backing track and the lead and seeing how they work together. Most of the time we get one or the other and its not always easy for beginners to see the relationship between the Rhythm and the lead. So when you can see both its nice.
Thank you man! I'm glad to know that this lesson illustrates what I wanted to show!This is really cool, Gabriel! Thanks man!
thanks for the comment!

Hello GMC! Welcome to my new lesson in the style of the popular punk/rock/pop band called Paramore. They were formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004 and they recorded three albums. Each one of these albums has its style/orientation but always keeping the combination of punk/rock guitars with the powerful voice of Hayley Williams. Paramore is a very young band but I can say that I am constantly discovering many newer bands influenced by their music and melodies.
In this lesson I composed a full song based in their two guitars work. Josh Farro is the main composer and the lead guitar player who is always playing melodies while the second guitar player (Taylor York) keeps playing power chords and riffs. We will explore their most used techniques, chord progression and the way they arrange the guitars.
The structure of this lesson is: Intro – Verse – Chorus – Bridge – Solo – Intro.
Key: D minorI hope that you enjoy it!
