Hi and welcome to a new series!
The title says all! In this series we´ll work on riffs, groove, rhythm. All we need to improve our skills. In this one we´ll use alternate picking, pinch harmonics and palm muting. That´s all! Ask whatever you need! Take this lesson step by step and have fun!
Used scales: E minor mostly.
Bar: 4/4
Tune Down: 1/2 step
TEMPO: 100 bpm
As some of you know, I use a POD xt to rec all my lessons. In my board you´ll find my presets ;)
On the other hand, here´re the settings for people who wants them..
Amp model: based on Marshall JCM-800
Drive 6
Bass 4.9
Middle 5

Decay 42 %

Remember: Same settings in other gear will produce a different sound, but, as we´ve talked at the forum, this could be cool for some members, so enjoy!
If you have any problems let me know. Take care.
see you all around.
