Warrior in Battle

Hi Folks!

Here I am bringing you a brand new challenge, this time I am showcasing the use of alternate picking in horizontal and vertical lines followed by sweep on arpeggio techniques in a very heavy metal neo-classical vibe ala Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore and Jason Becker.

I am using harmonic minor scales and there are some moments that I use the 4# on it which in fact is called hungarian minor scale, personally is the scale I really like to use in metal styles.

I hope you enjoy the idea of alternate picking over 3 strings arpeggio in a kind of string skipping way, this is a great study to bring your alternate picking skills to a whole new level.

I hope you have a great time learning this song and keep rocking!

Best - Thiago
