Welcome to the lesson of my speedy metal arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon in D. I'm not using much difficult techniques, I keep it relatively simple. The tricky part might be playing it up to tempo and getting the bends right.

How to arrange a simple chord progression into a more complex tune.

In this lesson I composed a full song based in Paramore's guitars work.

An arrangement of the previous chord melody lesson. We will explore the arrangement of the melody, how to make it more interesting.

In this lesson you're going to learn the "Pachelbel's Canon in D". It's the most famous piece by Johann Pachelbel written in about 1680. I did a special version for two bass guitars.

Octaves in a metal context. We will be using octaves as a songwriting tool, so this lesson is supposed to give you ideas about how to add textures and soundscapes to your songs using octaves.

Today we will talk about speed metal. This form to touch metal began with bands like Stratovarius, Helloween etc.

Imagine you are the only guitarist in the band and your drummer comes up with a cool rythm. You know the chords, and you know 3 scales: minor, major and phrygian. You have 5 minutes straight to create a guitar part and to make it interesting.

The goal of this Series is to mix a lot of licks and riffs to free our mind in time of improvisation adding ideas from every metal style.
