An example of combining three different guitar lines - riff, chords and lead melody, in order to create a rich texture of sound.

Improve your use of octaves, fast tremolo rhythm patterns, and pedal note rhythms. You will also learn how to harmonize riffs in thirds. This can really give the song new dimensions.

A modern progressive lesson great for beginners who need to practice 7/8 riffs and rhythms. I have been inspired by bands like Tool and Incubus to compose this tune.

Inspired by bands like Story Of The Year, Funeral for a friend and more extreme bands like Bullet For My Valentine. These bands have a new and powerful sound, and interesting guitar work.
