Welcome to my new series inspired by Indie Rock bands. This lesson will cover style of "The Strokes".

Up strokes and position shifting - additional exercise.

Combine Groove and Melodic death metal

Inspired by bands like Slayer, Exodus, Pantera and old Metallica albums, we will work at very fast tempo with riffs that combine "only down-strokes" right hand technique with some fast alternate picking.

This time I decided to cover a band that has been part of the Post Punk revival of the late 90's that included bands like The Strokes, The White Stripes, The Hives, The Vines and the one covered on this lesson: Interpol.

In this tune I used different techniques like palm muting, only down strokes rhythm technique, alternate picking, sweep picking, bending, hammer-on and artificial harmonics.

How would Super Mario Bros sound if played by Dragonforce..?
