A lesson focused on two of my favorites, Folk and Symphonic Metal, you should listen to bands like Rhapsody of Fire, Ensiferum, Eluveite and so on.

Pavel presents a riffing style very often used by Luca Turilli's film-score metal band Rhapsody of Fire. If you are a power-metal fan then you should definitely check this out!

Listening to Rhapsody and Luca's solo albums really got me into this kind of music and now i am working on heavily incorporating it into my playing style. This solo is written in F# harmonic minor scale, using some flat 5ths in some places and also some phrygian major scale runs. If you need a good excercise for your alternate picking and muting - this is the right one for you. You'll also find some sweep picking here!

Pavel gives a second Rhapsody of Fire style lesson! This time we will improve riffs and add a bit more touch to them. This lesson also has a bit more difficult rhythm.

Shred like Italian power metal maestro Luca Turilli.

Today we will talk about speed metal. This form to touch metal began with bands like Stratovarius, Helloween etc.

Brian May is one of the most melodic guitar players in the world of modern music. His style and sense of melody are very inspirational and we'll discuss some of the elements that make him so recognizable.

A Neoclassical solo in the key of A-minor. At first glance this might seem like an semi-advanced solo - but it's not. It's actually easier than it looks!
