Airbourne Style

Hi GMC!

Welcome to my new lesson in the style Airbourne, a hard rock band from Australia, formed in 2003. More info by them HERE.

Music Style:
The band plays powerful Hard Rock. According to Wikipedia, there are influenced by bands like AC/DC, Bad News, Def Leppard, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Pantera, Thin Lizzy, The Angels, Spinal Tap, Status Quo, Metallica and Rose Tattoo. I’ve always seen them as AC/DC on steroids, but not get me wrong, they are much more tan that, they are a very cool and interesting band and have their own personality.

Tonality, Chord Progression & Scales:
They combine major and minor keys in their music. You can find different modes like Mixolydian, Ionian, Aoelian, and even Phrygian in their compositions. This tune is in F# minor so all the melodies and chords belong to this key. In the solo section I focus on Pentatonic minor scale. The rhythm parts are mostly based on Power Chords.

Techniques:
This lesson combines Lead and Rhythm guitar work, so you’ll find different techniques as strumming, palm muting, alternate picking, vending, vibrato, among some others.

Sound:
I used Fractal Ax8's Dual Rectifier emulation, Cubase 9.5 to record audio and midi, Addictive Drums II for drums and Trillian for bass.

Tuning: Eb
