  You're absolutely right Try to expand it yourself and add a solo if you'd like while practicing it:D

  great riffs i really like them. at the beginning when you palm mute the low e string, i think maybe you mute it a little bit too far away from the bridge, making it sound more like F. i'm not really the one o criticise you for your playing but i niticed this in my own playing
- AlexLion25th May 2009
  It`s not low E. It`s 1 step down tuning. And I think Zsolt realize what is he doing, tho I prefer riff playing as close as possible to the bridge, more heavy sound
- herrb26th May 2009
  right, it's 1 step down, so to me sounds like d#. the vid says E though.

  Hi Herrb,
  
  You might be right about what you say, but it's not about muting far from the bridge, it's more like making a stronger pressure. Sometimes I do this becouse I'm still used to 0.11 strings. But you should also check out Pantera's By demons be driven, Dimebag does the same thing there, and I've seen people playing it from F...
  
  Cheers
