This part is fairly easy from a technical view, but from an expression point of view it is not so easy. It is difficult to play this piece with taste, since only the bass notes are playing the notes in exact tempo, while the solo line varies in tempo a lot. This technique in classical music is called rubato.

This lesson covers the guitar style of Sonata Artica band.

Very fast train beat with alternating and walking bass and open string pull-offs.

The big finish for this hot country technique series.

We take a look around the guitar and learn what all the bits and pieces are, and what they do.

Inspired by Scandinavian bands like Nightwish, Sonata Arctica and Hans Zimmer music.

We are focusing on some Metal's sub-genres. This time we'll spend some time on Power Metal!

In this part we will be using the following techniques: 2 string Sweeping, Power Chords, Galloping, Palm Muting, Slides and Vibrato.

This is the third part of lessons series covering power metal bands from Finland.
