Hard Rock Style Rhythms #2

Hey guys!

In this lesson, we will play a fast heavy rhythm section.

The main goal is to improve the dynamics and overall control of the instrument while working on timing as well!

Besides the classic backing track without the guitars, you will find also a version with a guitar recorded and hard-panned right. You can hard-pan left your performance if you are going to record your own version of this etude.
