  • Hey there, how´s it going?. In this lesson we´ll work on the 2 guitars style of Racer X, Paul Gilbert's first band where he shared the guitar parts with the very skillful Bruce Bouillet (For those who doesn´t know him, I recommend the albums Second Heat or Extreme Volume Live 1 and 2, where the 2 guitars work is a trademark of him). The techniques utilized are Alternate, Legatos and Sweep picking. The key is Am and the tempo is on 110bpm. What I recommend in this case is to work each part individually, understanding correctly every note and figure utilized and practice it very slow until achieve a clean sound. From there, always by parts, speeding up the metronome without losing the cleanness. Once you have achieved a mid velocity, you can put it all together and start working it complete.

    Enjoy it guys!!
