Rockwouldbe - Rage Against The Computer SI Lesson
Introduction
Hello my dear friends.
I want to welcome you again to my lessons here at Gmc.
Today's lesson is on a very interesting guitar player.
Tom morello, is a fascinating guitar player not because he is a demon on his guitar but for the craziest sounds you can ever imagine you can produce with your guitar. I think his band give him exactly what this kind of grove needs.
I think here in this lesson I compiled some riffs and solos that will help you understand Tom's brain much better.
Enjoy!
The Leson
Please make sure you watch the last video , there is also videos of the wah pedal , that gives an idea how to use it better.

When you think of tom morello you have to deliver to goods this way. It is a groove riff that starts with only the bass and then a P.M guitar dive in.
Always when you learn these riffs divide them to two then it is easier to understand and remember them.

Always I found it repeats itself in Tom's music after the intro there will come the chorus riff with the bass marking the begging and joins in the end. Once again remember to divide the riff to two. And just get the groove!.

Again when you want to compose stuff like Tom, in the verse part there will come the same bass line as in chorus but little thiner. Nice module I have there don't you think??
