Superize - Metal Riffs Part I SI Lesson

Current revision

Introduction

Well it has been a while since my first SI lesson here. I have been trying to make a new lesson a few times but never really completed it fully......

Finally i have succeded and i got a lesson that i am very proud of.
The lesson wich i call Metal riffs part 1 is the first in a series of lessons that i plan on making. This is the only one that is written at the moment but i got som riffs in my head that are soon to come out.......

Main Video

Now let us begin

This lesson is based on one riff played in three different postions on the neck once you have mastered the lick the rest should be easy. I use alot of downpicking to get a heavy sound.
