This is a challenge for all metalheads out there who love agressive metal riffs. This lesson is full of cool alternate picking stuff so even if you are not into the metal your picking can gain a lot if you use this lesson as an alternate picking excercise! Get in and prepare to pick FAST!

Alternate Picking, Power chords and rhythmic challenges - improve your technique as well as your timing control!

When used in the song, a riff has to evolve according to the song moment. This lesson shows how to create a riff and do variations based on it, in order to change the song's momentum.

Time for some more advanced riffs! 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 ;)

Open strings riffs, palm muting, pinch harmonics and extended power chords shapes.

Common riff concepts for semi-advanced rhythm players. A lot of palm muting and downpicking. Influenced by Pantera, Megadeth and maybe a bit of Disturbed.

Focus on speedpicking - trash style

Variations of metal riffs that you can use for a complete metal song arrangement.

Just hit the volume button and gain, and let it roar!
