Hello and welcome to my new lesson!
In this lesson you will learn how to play in style of Nuno Bettencourt from "Extreme".
This lesson is in a drop D tuning so you have to tune your sixth string two steps down.
This lesson has a lot of hammer - ons & pull - offs, triplets and legato, and your left hand will be doing most of the work.
Make sure to practice it at a slow tempo using metronome.
Tuning: E - B - G - D - A - D
Gear:
Tom Anderson Telecaster
Ugly Amps - Ugly 18
ZMG - Aspid Drive
Fractal AXE-FX II
Waves plugins
Apogee ensemble
Key signature: This song is in a key of D but the main chord is D7#9...and as you can see bellow we have F# and natural F so if you decide to jam over this track you can use major and minor pentatonics!
