Pavel presents a riffing style very often used by Luca Turilli's film-score metal band Rhapsody of Fire. If you are a power-metal fan then you should definitely check this out!

Pavel gives a second Rhapsody of Fire style lesson! This time we will improve riffs and add a bit more touch to them. This lesson also has a bit more difficult rhythm.

A lesson focused on two of my favorites, Folk and Symphonic Metal, you should listen to bands like Rhapsody of Fire, Ensiferum, Eluveite and so on.

Let's learn some tricks from the living legends!

Powerful indie blues rock with influences by Led Zeppelin, Chuck Berry, Nirvana, Buddy Holly and Muddy Waters

A song in the style of Earth, Wind & Fire.

This lesson covers my unique approach to 8 finger tapping technique.

Listening to Rhapsody and Luca's solo albums really got me into this kind of music and now i am working on heavily incorporating it into my playing style. This solo is written in F# harmonic minor scale, using some flat 5ths in some places and also some phrygian major scale runs. If you need a good excercise for your alternate picking and muting - this is the right one for you. You'll also find some sweep picking here!

This piece is from the song called "World Set On Fire" from my album "Sevdah Metal". I played intro riff, chorus, solo and the outro riff. This can improve your riffing feel, alternate picking and eastern trills.
