Diosus15th February 2013Verry nice piece. This is the reason i play a guitar. Thanks
Kristofer Dahl19th August 2011Hi Don - sorry for a late reply! This is a good question, since the picking pattern is important in this case to be able to play this up to tempo.
By watching the main video and attempting to play this myself - here is the picking pattern (d= downstroke and u = upstroke)-----------------------------------------|

Bluesberry28th April 2010Awesome killer riffs! These are really heavy and good-sounding, and it's nice to see someone creating killer riffs from an unusual key for guitar such as F.
I put this immediately on my to-do-list.

Hi GMC-ers! Welcome to my new lesson series, in which I would like to show you some riff variations in a few styles. This is a very important part of guitar playing. The riffing technique is also very exciting. There will be some easier and more difficult themes involved.
The interesting part of this first lesson is the alternate picking. I don’t use powerchords or chords when riffing, but I do play octave notes separately. It’s important that we play using alternate picking because achieving a higher speed is much more difficult with down picking.
There are two themes in this lesson. The first is in F at the first fret. The second is also in F, but at the 8th fret. In both themes there are jumps to F# first, then to G# G F# F and during the whole part I use octave notes. Only at the end of the themes there are three powerchords.(G#sus4 Gsus4 F#sus4 ).
