Hey friends! And welcome to a new lesson. This time we´ll focus on beginners stuff exclusively. We´ll use simple powerchords ´cause we´ll work on our right hand´s grooving.

The goal here is to develop our skills as a rhythm guitar. To do that, I´ve composed a little tune with:
Part 1 and 2: Riff
Part 3: verse or bridge
Part 4: chorus
Part 5: final Riff

So, I think this lesson will be so useful for metal beginners, but also, for every style you like to play.

Be free to ask anything you need! Take this lesson step by step and have fun!

Used scales: E minor, A Minor.
Meter: 4/4
Tune Down: 1/2 step
TEMPO: 130 bpm

As some of you know, I use a POD xt to rec all my lessons. In my board you´ll find my presets ;) On the other hand, here´re the settings for people who wants them.

Amp model: based on Marshall JCM-800
Drive 2
Bass 4.9
Middle 5
Treble 6.8
Presence 5

Small room Reverb:
Predelay 0%
Decay 42 %
Tone 50%
Mix 43%

Remember: Same settings in other gear will produce a different sound, but, as we´ve talked at the forum, this could be useful for some members, so enjoy!

If you have any problems let me know. Take care.
see you all around.
