  • Hey guys!

    In this lesson, we will play the rhythm section of a song that I wrote recently.

    Basically it’s a rhythm section that starts in E minor and then moves to Bm.

    The main technique used is alternate picking and it will encourage you to improve your overall timing control.

    Remember to play it slowly before practicing it at the normal speed.



    Hope you guys dig it!
