Downpicking Primer

There is only one way to escape the prophecy of doom - by leading it! And in order to do that you gotta downpick.

This riffing etude will take you on a downpicking adventure with spicy harmonics and dissonant harmonies.

The track is recorded with two guitars playing the same riffs (aka overdubbing), and my playing in the video is panned to the left.

Be sure to use the new speed controls in the GMC player as you practice this one:



Tempo:
100 bpm

Key:
E minor

Gear:
Solar A1.6ETWHM guitar
Logic pro software Amps & pedals
Duet2 usb

I experimented with using two different rigs at the same time - both British High gain (aka MARSHALL) for the detailed high end, and an American high gain / Rectifier style amp for the tight lows:
