Hi guys and welcome to my new lesson!

This song is called "Monsters are here" and it will be featured on my new album called "Eatmystrings"
I have recorded this song live and what you see in the video is an actual recording session. I did some tweaks in post production but this is the actual take.

The video got viral and received more than a million views on YouTube and it keeps growing!
The whole idea was to mix dubstep and instrumental guitar. I have received a lot of emails demanding this lesson, so here it is!

Key signature:
E minor

Tuning:
This song is in drop C tuning
E - B - G - D - A - C

Gear:
Tom Anderson Telecaster
Ugly Amps - Ugly 18
ZMG - Aspid Drive
Waves plugins
Apogee ensemble

I hope you guys will enjoy this lesson and learn a new approach to slide playing and also develop timing and legato technique!

Monsters Are Here single is available on iTunes.
