Welcome to my new series of lessons based on Finnish Power Metal bands. This lesson covers Stratovarius style.

This is the third part of lessons series covering power metal bands from Finland.

This lesson covers the guitar style of Sonata Artica band.

I was requested to do a new lesson focused on Power Metal Rhythm, so I will show you some common things in this awesome and fast style!

This lesson is about Melodic Power Metal Solo, something in the style of Helloween, Edguy and Stratovarius.

All of the powerchords from A to G.

A tapping etude to add some ideas to our vocabulary.

A power metal rhythm lesson inspired in the style of Angra, Stratovarius, Rhapsody of Fire and Sonata Arctica. When I finished the guitar work I recorded some orchestra arrangements based in a style created by the band Rhapsody of Fire called "Hollywood Metal".

In this lesson we will use speedpicking licks to create a speed riff. If you ever listened to any power-metal bands you probably wondered how do they come up with their riffs and speedriffing is a good example of that. When you finish playing this riff you'll notice that all we did was combining simple powerchords with scales. Sounds interesting? Get on it!
