Oxac9th November 2008Awesome, the only thing missing is the vocals
One question though, tuning one whole step down on a les paul... Wouldn't that require insane string gauge?

Gabriel Leopardi9th November 2008Great composition Jose!
berko9th November 2008Extremely useful lesson, Jose. I'm glad you kept it as simple as possible, it supports the purpose of this lesson more. And GREAT SONG 
Jose Mena9th November 2008Thanks everyone, I am glad you enjoyed the lesson, this came out to be a good song in my opinion, I might have someone singe it, and include it in my album.

Modified Epiphone Les Paul with Seymour Duncans, love this guitar for heavy metal rhythm, has a nice fat chunky sound.

Yes, it is a matter of preference but I bought 12's to do this, because I can't stand low tension on strings.
Bogdan Radovic9th November 2008Awesome lesson on songwriting Jose!! 
jammer919th November 2008hi jose, nice lesson. If you speed these riffs up a bit you get some killer metalcore or melodic death riffs.

Thanks man, I know you are a Les Paul fan, even though it is an Epiphone it is still a great guitar.
Capt.Z10th November 2008I can't wait to get my epiphone les paul. I wonder which one it will be...

Cool lesson!! METAL RULES!! \m/

It is a good guitar, at least mine turned out good, it was modified by the previous owner, so don't know how it comes from factory
kaznie_NL10th November 2008Seems cool Jose! It also sounds as being cool

Fingerspasm10th November 2008Great lesson. I played the main riff this morning for my friend after practicing it all day yesterday and he was blown away by how cool the riff is and how great is stands on its own without a backing track. By the way I played it in standard tuning and it sounds great. I realize It may not mesh with the backing track that way but I will tune down when I try the backing track. Also I have an Epiphone Les Paul just like yours with PRS Dragon II pickups in it and it sounds great. Nothing wrong with Epiphones once the pickups are replaced.

Not sure I understand, I assume it is good, just kidding, thanks for the comment

Glad you feel this way about the riff, even though it is simple I feel it sounds powerful. Standard tuning works, I just played in D because it makes it a little heavier.
Sinisa Cekic12th November 2008Great playing and sound !!
