Hi there, and welcome to a new lesson!
You know metal music has been growing and growing, so we have so many sub-genres. In this lesson I focused on two of my favorites, Folk and Symphonic Metal, you should listen to bands like Rhapsody of Fire, Ensiferum, Eluveite and so on.
I composed a little tune with a rhythmic guitar player in mind. We have two cool instruments in the backing (fiddle and accordion) which make the main lines, and we keep on the bases to work all together like a band.
I hope you like this lesson!
Take it step by step and have fun!
stay close! -
