craig howe16th January 2011love it sounds like papa roach- last resort made into a great exercise
Daniel Realpe4th May 2010great workout for the palm muting!
Dejan Farkas29th August 2009Thank you Christophe
Christophe25th August 2009Quote from Muris "Not only great workout but also
very nice piece of music,well done Dejo!
"
I agree with Muris, I love that melody- Dejan Farkas26th May 2009
My attempt was to create a lesson that sounds good in all tempos and to keep both hands busy all the time. Thank you for the constructive feedback, it is well appreciated
NoSkill25th May 2009This is a very important lesson for me Dejan. It works on many elements that need work in my playing. I have a tendency to get "locked in the box," fingering, and this forces me to use alternate fingerings when moving through the neck for economy sake. Plus it's something that can be played slowly and sped up sequentially. I'm able to work on muting, of course, but also finger independence and hand coordination. Really a good lesson. Thank you!

Thanks Nemanja
Awesome lesson
You seem to make lessons that hit's exactly where I need them
First the little finger workout when I was desperately looking for strength in my pinky, and now this when I've noticed I really need to work on my palm muting ^^
Keep'em coming
I am glad if I hit the right spot, thanks

Oh, and Kris, if you're out there; will the new player only be for a few of the newer lessons?
Nemanja Filipovic14th November 2008Wow,amazing lesson Dejan,and new player ROCKS!!!
Thanks mate.- Dejan Farkas14th November 2008
Thanks Trond
Xirth - I did nothing, just tested.. the video player is still new and we may encounter some problems in the begining.. anyway, your welcome and let me know if you need any help here. And don't worry to much about the sound, just add some drive and rock itGreat lesson Dejan
Thanks - Alex8714th November 2008
Great lesson Dejan
- Xirth14th November 2008
I'm not sure if you did anything to fix the first video but it seems to be working now.. by the way thank you for bringing an easier finger exercise, my pinky and ring finger are still pretty uncoordinated so it helps to be able train them. I can't match the sound of the guitar.. but I think it's my crappy cheap crate amp. I have a boss step pedal with distortion also, I'm assuming the step pedal isn't really the problem here though.
Trond Vold14th November 2008Nice
Great and catchy lesson- Dejan Farkas13th November 2008
Thank you guys, I am honored to be the first one in the new player
Xirth - I tested all videos now, they load for me.. please try again later and let me know if it's ok 
Ivan Milenkovic13th November 2008Great lesson Dejan, I really like the melodies in this one

- Dejan Farkas13th November 2008Is it just me or does is sound a bit like last resortby pappa roach?
It's funny, someone also commented on my "little finger workout" that it reminds him of the same song
I don't listen Pappa Roach really, maybe we had the same influencesNew player looks cool but the lesson is great. Reminds me a bit of Maiden
Maidens influenced me a lot when I started playing electric guitar
Thank you all guys for nice comments - TheOldOnes13th November 2008
This is quite a wonderful piece - as Emir mentioned, it has a Maiden sound to it. I look forward to the next few weeks learning this piece!

Hi GMC and welcome to Palm Mute Workout. :)
I designed this workout to reach two goals. The first is to practice palm muting, and the second is to improve agility of fretting hand.
When it's about palm muting, you may notice that I do not keep constantly the same level of muting. I play with the pressure of my palm, sometimes I press the bridge completely, and sometimes just barely touching it. It can give interesting results.
Now the second thing, I had to make the left hand do something, so I made this "dance" of the fretting hand. Simply, the melody is played with stretching of fingers (mostly the little one) and completely avoiding sliding between boxes.
I hope you like it :)
