This lesson is amazing (my favourite). Love these riffs here. Great BFMV and AILD influence.

Awesome lesson Trond! Great riffing!

awesome!
love the riffs.

Hey Trond, I'm having trouble with holding my pick facing towards the ground and getting the quick alternative picking. My downstrokes are working but my upstrokes are getting caught up on the string. For playing the bass notes is it a bad idea for me to make a habit out of just using the flat pick technique where it's not at an angle cause that is seems to work right now.. And also what thickness pick do you use? I'm switching between two picks, a medium and a .46mm. Do you think those are too light for this type of music?

I really love your lessons!

and one more question. Sorry for all the text..
how do you count the
[----------------3-]
[----------------5-]
[0-0-0--0--0--0----]

at the intro for example. Is it right to count "tri-p-let, 1, and, 2, and"?

cool lesson.....love it Trond

Great riffs :

That sounds great

What amp or modeling do you use? Are those active EMGs on you guitar?

Love your lessons man !!! awesome

wow...Trond this is great

cool man!!!
Good reef!!

Awesome riffing trond! There's about a million awesome little riffs in this you could expand upon to make a song, which I think was your intention

Oh ****. This is insane. Love it.
(edited for language - Tony)

You have such a great style!!
What guitar do you use?

hey Trond!!!excellent lesson!!!

that riff starting at about 00:45 was awesome!

I love the fact that my right hand is tired after I get done practicing this... Great Lesson..

Thank Trond.

great job, trond!
i like that aggressive song

Wow ! Insane riffs ! Rock on, Trond !

I really enjoyed this, Trond. It's bookmarked! Really great sound, but I've come to expect that from you!

Okay... if that song was on a CD... Id buy that cd.. Then ripp the song off after headbanging like crazy!!

i love drop d stuff! this is cool! by the way, you oughta do some lessons with your guitar that has a whammy bar - the one that doesn't give you trouble. that would be cool adding some squealies and dive bombs for us! keep rocking!

whew! on #9 that's a big stretch on the second bar. I'm substituting it for a split chord that's right next to it and sounds the same. you got big hands to do that stretch!

Wow. Killer song man. Love the setup, love the payoff, love the combo of melody/harmony and crunch. Wicked.
