Time for some more advanced riffs! In our Heavy Metal For Beginners series we worked on some basic riffing tricks and approaches so now we'll apply somewhat similar stuff to a bit more difficult riffing. In this lesson we'll work mostly on legato and downstrokes, and a tempo of 100 BPM will make it fun and tricky to play ;)
I included 5 backing tracks, the riff is in E minor, have a good warm-up and get to it! :)
Have fun and shoot any questions you may have!
