Toni Suominen24th March 2008Great job Jerry!
Jerry Arcidiacono23rd March 2008Thank you guys!
D-loader: I will listen the first album.
D-loader23rd March 2008I think the very first Nickelback album was the best, I still listen to it now and then. Then they became more of a "turn-on-the-radio-and-listen" band as you say.
This sounds very rocking, I really feel like putting on a pair of sunglasses and a badass-looking attitude, while rocking through this lesson

Gabriel: I don't know too much Nickelback.. Maybe they are too mainstream.. Sometimes I listen to them on the radio while I'm driving and I can say their music sounds good on that context

- My notes
Hello GMC! This lesson came out from what we have discussed in this thread
I listened "Animals" by Nickelback and I wrote a similar riff for the backing track. Then, I jammed over this backing track, using different techniques as bending, slides, legato, etc.
I used mainly the D minor pentatonic scale, adding few notes. Hope you like it!
