Under Construction - Soon to be finished -- Fran

Introduction

Hey there my name is Isac Lundqvist.
I live in Glommersträsk (a small village in northen Sweden)… I am 20 years old and I have been playing guitar for about a year now…..

My favourite guitarists are, Luca Turilli, Alexei Lahio, Marcus Seipen and Andre Olbrich.
My favourite bands are Rhapsody of fire, Moonlight Agony, Blind Guardian and Nightwish… I don’t play in a band at the moment but I hope I will in a near future.

Now that you know a little more about me lets move on to the lesson

This lick might be a lot trickier because it involves a lot more chord changes

Practice it slow and be sure you get the pattern down before trying to speed up.
