playaxeman7th January 2009Hi Carlos,
That was realy good. Nice lesson can be done quickl: not to advanced it think.
The tension in this track was building up ending in a powerchord riffing climax.
Did you also made the backing? If so very well done! I is great to improvice over.
Maybe you can share with us how you made it.
Maybe you post your pod patches i am a pod XT live user.
Toni Suominen7th January 2009Nice one Carlos!
Pedja Simovic7th January 2009Very nice in style lesson Carlos!
Lian Gerbino7th January 2009cool lesson man!
Bogdan Radovic7th January 2009Cool lesson Carlos ! You captured the style well!
- Carlos Carrillo8th January 2009
Hi playaxeman! Thank you for your feedback. I compose my lesson's backings in midi format with nuendo sequencer and then I go to Gabriel's studio where he assigns the vst instruments and makes the final mix.
I use Pod X3 live for my lessons and I don't use to save the presets, we just work on them everytime we start recording a lesson and that's why I just writte the parameters of the settings that I use. However you could ask Gab about details about the backings and pod patches. - Carlos Carrillo8th January 2009Nice one Carlos!
thanks tony!! Very nice in style lesson Carlos!
Thanks for comment pedja!! god bless you! - Carlos Carrillo8th January 2009

Ok friends of GMC! In this opportunity, we will see Fireflight´s style again, but this time; We will study the style of their ballads!
The ballads of this band are really brilliant, the voices, the arrangements, create a special environment! When we speak about arrangements, we speak about very well done strings arrangements, a brilliant performance on the guitar and a great drum accompaniment! The perfect combination for make big songs! In his algums you will find ballads like "Brand new day", "Wrapped in your arms", "it’s you" and others. Today's lesson is based in the song "Forever"! Very cool song!
Ok! Sincerely, all his ballads are very powerful. They don't only transmit feelings, but they finish with great power! The guitar parts are not very difficult, not complicated, but they sound great!
You’ll work aspects like rhythm, scale uses, and different techniques as alternate picking, slides and vibrato. The tuning is down 1/2 step D#G#C#F#A#D# and this lesson is on G minor scale.
