Traditional song

This explicit song is going to show you one or two tricks..! Parts of it will be suitable for the absolute beginner - while the solo and the intro riff are a little trickier. If one were to categorise it in a specific genre, rock/punk-rock would be the appropriate one. Also, this lesson includes a true backing track paradise: You get the whole song without guitars, without lyrics, different speeds and whatnot. So if you feel like putting the guitar down and start yelling (like I did when recording it!) - you have the option to do so.

I wrote this song exclusively for GMC! It contains most common hi-tech guitar techniques and should keep you occupied for a very long time. In order for you to easier digest the techniques, and eventually master the whole peace - I have provided relevant exercises for the harder licks. So no excuses for not learning this one! You will learn arpeggio substitutions, legato arpeggios, Santana- , Eric Johnson- , Paul Gilbert- , Slash-, Steve Vai- style licks.

Use the melody while developing your own vibrato.

A song in the liturgical hymn style.

This solo illustrates lots of different fusion/shred techniques. With a slight blues influence, it uses chicken picking, chromatics, sweeping, tapping, one-note-per-string arpeggios and legato!

Fast-picking traditional etude!

Arrangement of Adeste Fideles (Oh come all ye faithful), hymn tune written by John Francis Wade.
