  Awesome! (Oh and people I am warning you for Part 2 - not something for the feeble...!)
  Either way. it's a great idea to split this kind of lessons up: today you will learn useful mixolydian riffing ideas - and the second part will show you how to solo, stay tuned!
- Rolls3rd October 2007
  Great riffing. Can't wait to hear the second part.
- David Wallimann3rd October 2007
  I love it!
  Reminds me of the band Extreme a little...
- Amarok3rd October 2007

- Muris Varajic3rd October 2007
  Thanks everybody!!
  Yeah,the solo part is gonna have 3 parts actually,beginner,intermediate and advanced,
  so everyone shall have something to play over it.
- DeepRoots3rd October 2007
  I'm feeling some awesome satch vibes from this!
  Thanks Muris! I've been meaning to go back to some riffing instead of constantly playing your alternate picking exercise 24/7! (not that i'll be dropping it, ohh not yet...)

  i've seen a lot of these extremely long scales, but i'm not sure i understand how they're played. how do you go about practicing the a mixolydian scale?
- Muris Varajic7th October 2007
  Hi there!
  Must correct you a bit regarding to terminology,there is no long scale.
  In our diatonic world we have only 7 notes,that's the scale.
  And we practicing it by connecting these notes through boxes and fingerboard.
  You are probably thinking of this lick at the end.
- Testament7th October 2007
  aaah, i see! thanks a lot, muris!

  Muris, what a fantastic lesson series! You teach us the main riff, and then build upon it with beginner, intermediate, and advanced solos over the top of it. I'm really going to enjoy mastering this. Thanks so much!!!!
- Muris Varajic5th May 2008
  You're welcome Gary,glad you have joined GMC
- shideru_guitar15th May 2008
  muris what if i make a new solo over the backing of this riff and send it to u??
  i just thought of one about now...
- Muris Varajic18th May 2008
  Sure,why not.
  Just upload it somewhere in my private board
  so we could discuss it.
- Kapto12th June 2008
  Thanks again Muris. Almost done.The last 4 bars are being a pain though. (Sigh)
- Jesse5th October 2008
  Muris, if I would play this lesson but change all G 's to G#'s ... is it an Major riffing lesson?
- Muris Varajic5th October 2008
  Yes,with G# instead of G you'd get pure A major/ionian.
- Pantelis Karagiannis15th November 2009
