Hello donboyd,
I'm in charge of helping out with lesson feedback when instructors are no longer available:
Emir played 7-7-7 (in video 2, on B, G and D strings) with his pinky, ring and middle finger. So:
In box2 on 7,7,7 what fingers are you useing.thax..
Its Very Hot Emir
A Creative riff!
I have been practicing this one since the day it went up. It has become part of my daily routine.
nice and very useful man, well done!
The sounding is soo cool Emir, luv it =) The 16th with the strings skipping look pretty hard :/
Awesome Emir!
Thanks Zsolt and Marcus

Awesome riffing, Emire! This lesson rocks

Prava rifaza a pritom nije ni jako losa.
Very useful lesson Emir, and pretty cool sounding too! Love that guitar =) Thanks man
Cool bro, both idea and playing!
Great riffing ideas, Emir!
very musical! great lesson
Awesome ideas for riffing, exactly what I need too!
Excellent lesson Emir... I am going to investigate that method.... It allows to create cool melodies...
awesome ideas emir, i really love this approach of rhythmic guitar playing, reminds me a lot the EVH work
I really like this way of making kind of an etude, just taking a very cool riff and practicing in different fingers is a nice idea
Love it !!!!
Very cool sound and great riffs
Useful lesson
Excellet ideas , Emir! Sounds great
Very cool Emir - this gave me Steve Morse vibes. Avoiding bar chords certainly gives better tone and control.
Hi
Here is an interesting approach how you can play riff variations on different positions on the neck. I've heard it done by many great guitarists and this is a common thing when making a riff progression in modern pop/rock music.
Besides the musical idea I was also trying to make an interesting finger exercise at the same time. If you watch my fingering carefully you will notice that I was trying to avoid barre shapes. Each note is played with a different finger. Many times I am using 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger instead of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. You can clearly see that fingering in slow videos and try to play this lesson the same way.
There were also some experiments with the sound. I used a warm rock overdrive with about 20% of flanger. That gave the sound very interesting definition. The guitars are also doubled and panned 100% left and right. On top of that there is the 3rd guitar playing the exact same thing but one octave up and its volume is set to about 30%. All these guitars together sound much more powerful than if I only used one guitar. Remember this trick when recording and mixing as the sound gets much richer with this technique.
The whole lesson is played with alternate picking technique so try to play it that way if you want to execute every note with the same amount of attack.
I hope you will enjoy playing this one and see you soon.
