  • Hi there and welcome to a new lesson from this series called Riff Master.
    As the previous lessons, we are focusing on some Metal's sub-genres. This time we’ll spend some time with Power Metal!
    I must say, Power Metal was a great influence for me a few years ago. Bands like Stratovarius or Sonata Arctica, have taken this concepts at its limits!

    Now, I will show you an easy way to play this awesome style adding some variations on the main riff. I tried to keep it as easy as I could. So I hope many members may put hands on this one ;)

    I hope you like this lesson!
